What do you think a god looks like?

That explains a lot about you.

I'm an atheist Dem. Although I'm not intellectually arrogant enough to claim I couldn't be wrong.

Excuse me though, I need to wipe my desk off. Brb

Sure.... You can wipe it off. But you can't make it forget.

Worked on Doctro Who, along with others countless examples in science fiction.

Again, why an ocean can be sentient and alive, but an idea of a star being sentien is retarded?

Read some of the Lem's works. There is a particulary great story about a certain famous pilot visiting an unkown planet, finding a civilisation there, establishing a first contact - and as a honor he get's to sit in on a final exam in their space academy - and listens to studends proving that life cannot possibly exist on a certain planet (which turnes out to be earth).

This is not Doctor Who. Mass Effect makes an admirable effort to adhere to scientific belief and theories of today. I don't know if Doctor Who paid much attention to science in 1963 when they started writing it, but this is not 1963. And this idea is retarded. As is the idea of a sentient ocean. And yes, an ocean is water. That is what the word means when it is not further defined as "ocean" being a metaphor for a large amount of something else. For example, I would say this conversation is an ocean of ignorance.

Are we done with Second Grade Science now?

So now that we've established the ancient peoples were correct about the sun being an angry god, any other long dead rites we should unearth? Who's up for a headbutting contest to honor Odin?

They do make allusions in ME1 that anciant beliefs in gods turn out to be 100% correct. Very heavily in fact.

I believe you've confused Mass Effect with The Avengers. Don't worry, it's a common mistake.

Sooooo, how 'bout that N7 day huh? Wednesday right? I hope at the very least they include some cool art and picture packs, maybe some little thing for SP.

Or maybe BioWare will make us a surprise and release Omega DLC.

+100.

Science fiction is still partially fiction.

An ocean of sentient beings can be "alive". But not an ocean (of water). As you probably know the first usage of the word "ocean" has a literary sense. Don't mix it with a scientific one.

EDIT: I agree with Rifneno that this discussion is moot.

LOL. You really don't have a clue, do you? 

Next thing you'll tell me that iron is solid and water is liquid. Can't wait. That would actually be hillarious. Please do.

I'm thinking the same about you.  I've gotten less headaches trying to explain to a synthesis supporter why printed circuitry in a leaf is stupid.  That's the category you're in right now.

Oh if they did that, I would be very happy!!!

But Halo 4 coming out the day before "alters the variables".

Didn't work.

Enough, this "fighting" is getting ridiculous.

Please stop.

Somewhere, a glass of water is nodding in agreement. "401 is right."

An ocean cannot be alive. A sentient being that has a form of an ocean might exist. But it is not an ocean.

I havent been paying attention to the last page. Are they not? Did I miss something?

They don't exist. They are but an illusion created by our senses.

That's stupid.  A glass of water isn't sentient.  Water is like geth.  You need at least 2 gallons together before it can do basic math even.

No, it's not me. Cause you're really wrong on this one. Ocean does not nessesarily means water. And water does not mean an ocean. 

Ocean means lot's of liquid. In case of Earth - yes, that liquid is water (or liquid compaund of hidrogen and oxigen). But in terms of space and galaxy that is really a rare thing.  

So yeah, go ahead and tell me again how water is liquid and iron is solid. I really like some entertainment before i go to sleep.

Demersel seems to be trying to pull off the same confrontational attitude Rif usually has, but he isnt doing it very well.

"Ocean" without context means a large body of water on a planet. If you want to say there's a kind a sentient liquid, tell us what you're talking about.

And yes, at standard Earth surface tempurature water is liquid and iron is solid.

He's trying to trick us into saying yes so he can pop out and go, "lulz wrong st00pid, they turn into other states depending on temperature and pressure and ****."

You know, like how even tungsten will melt into a liquid if it's exposed to even a tenth of a percent of the
temperature
of the inside of a star.  Those things he thinks are totally alive and not just big balls of superhot plasma.

Edit: FU, spellchecker.

Until you go into nanoscale. There everything is forces and tiny stuff.

I hope you're all enjoying yourselves! lol

Anyone living on the eastern coast of US can tell you that if oceans are alive and sentient, then they don't like us...
