Yeah but is it Sindarin or Quenya?
It looks like Quenya... (because the vowels are placed above the first consonant)
And the elvish line does appear to translate as 'The quick brown fox'... etc (at least the first few words are).
I prefer Sindarin myself...
(sofajockey) 
When I take notes during work meetings, my scrawl is some terrible mix of printing and writing. WITNESS THE HORROR
So, lemme guess, April 27th is the day that you'll be releasing some ne *notices that it's April 29th* ... fml
Don't know about the Japanese, but that elvish is certainly 'the quick brown fox... etc' first here in Sindarin and Barrett has it in Quenya.
Very good Japanese though!
Babelfish ftw? I did take a few semesters of it back in University tho!
..and Barrett has it in Quenya.
Someday I'll have this memorized.
Mass Effect and Middle-Earth in the same thread... You can't just raise the awesome level this high just before I go to sleep! I wasn't prepared 
I don't think there's any translation of written Elvish, tbh
Bro mellon, do you even Tolkien?
So, lemme guess, April 27th is the day that you'll be releasing some ne *notices that it's April 29th* ... fml
Haha, I totally did the same 
Bromellon, do you even Tolkien?
tbh, I instinctively thought it was DA Elvish..... 
Dragon Age and Mass Effect exist in the same universe confirmed?
Well, yeah!
Now this fight is one I'd like to see.
Mmm. Writing. That moment where the scene structure is SO OBVIOUS and everything goes smoothly. #writing #space #knockonwood
I don't know if anyone else here or at BioWare is aware, but NASA has created a Warp Field and verified their findings in a vacuum.

Quote from the article:
A group at NASA’s Johnson Space Center has successfully tested an electromagnetic (EM) propulsion drive in a vacuum – a major breakthrough for a multi-year international effort comprising several competing research teams. Thrust measurements of the EM Drive defy classical physics’ expectations that such a closed (microwave) cavity should be unusable for space propulsion because of the law of conservation of momentum.
Essentially, FTL travel is no longer the realm of science fiction.

Could be a year from now

I don't think this is quite the same as a warp-field/warp-drive, but we're getting there. I could be wrong though, I know very little about this kind of stuff.

Yes it is. This new engine at best would reach speeds of less than 10% the speed of light. Not saying that isn't incredible, but it is still very far away from getting something to travel at light speed let alone FTL.

True, but you got to start somewhere. The Wright Bros' airplane only flew 120 ft. on its maiden voyage after all. 
The possibilities that having an actual, real life warp field (a fact that only a few years ago was deemed impossible to achieve without generating more energy output than our Sun) present are limitless. We're not going to jumping on an interstellar flight to Alpha Centari right now, but we do have a real world proof of concept that proves FTL is possible within our conceivable lifetimes.

I agree. The problem with FTL travel is that the closer something gets to the speed of light, the less mass it has to have to move that fast. The only thing in the universe that can travel at the speed of light is energy and dark energy, both of which have no mass more than that of a particle. So any ship that would go at the speed of light would be one that is reduced to pure energy, which means destroying everything and everyone inside. And that's only going at the speed of light, let alone faster than it.
Now there are theoretical ways to go at or even faster than the speed of light, and that's what science fiction tends to use. Things like wormholes, quantum entanglement, space bubbles, being quantized, etc but we are far, far away from that if they are actually possible to do at all.

That's were the Warp Field which the engine was generating (a field that NASA confirmed earlier this week) comes in. It compresses space-time in front of it and stretches it out as it passes. So a ship doesn't have to actually be traveling at relativistic speeds, with the Warp Field it can 'cheat' to get around the light speed barrier.

If the light speed barrier is something that can be crossed. Theoretically it can but theoretically a lot of things can happen but actually can't. The only thing that moves faster than light is dark energy, and we know nothing about it except that most of the energy in the universe is dark energy and its effects. We have no way to study it more than that, let alone acquire and harness it.
We should probably take this out of the Twitter thread.

“I know - we’ll give them jet propulsion packs!” http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=23CXxSVtjhw …
Actually, "MOAR EXPLOSIONS" is a thing with all of this. No one is surprised. 
@MrDBow ^ That was from a Star Trek movie right? One of TNG films. Think I just watched that one with my old man not that long ago haha
The movie is First Contact.
tbh, I instinctively thought it was DA Elvish.....
Fair enough, that does make sense too and for the record, I didn't mean anything by it, except perhaps to highlight what a legendary person he was. If it sounded condescending or something, I apologise!
Glancing through that NASA article... Well, I don't know what half of it means, but I'm excited anyway! Yay!
