"The alleged discovery of a UFO near the sun — the star at the center of solar system in which Earth is the third innermost planet — "

Why did they feel the need to clarify that? I mean, I know public schooling gets a bad rep, but c'mon. A little faith, guys. :lol:


Of course people know that, a television show put it in the title.

The mass relay was encased in ice inside of Charon. Huge frozen ocean inside of Charon is almost confirmed.
 
We are almost there...

It was incredibly dumb of the Mass Effect devs to use Charon as the host of the Sol Mass Relay. Charon is 80 times larger than the Mass Relay, and is 50% rock. Seeing how Mass Effect posits Charon was generated around the Relay, implying the Relay is at the core of the moon, the Relay would be crushed under Charon's immense weight. And even if it wasn't, humans at the time did not have the technology to excavate entire moons.

The more clever solution would have been to encase the Mass Relay in a 20 km pure ice asteroid orbiting Charon.

I've literally met people who didnt know that the Earth revolved around the sun.

The stupidity of humanity should not be underestimated.

It was implied (if not outright stated, I'd have to double check - if not in the games then in the books) that simply remote activating the relay caused the rock and ice to melt, so it didnt need to actually be directly excavated.

But yes, it was dumb.

What about when that dense woman said on The View, "Who's to say that the earth isn't flat?"  and "Nothing came before Jesus."   There's a fun conversation which nobody on the program decided to have with her.

Indeed. Flat-Earthism is actually still around, although less common than the more mainstream Creationist anti-evolution view. I view Flat Earthers as only slightly more stupid than Young Earth Creationists. Just slightly.

It takes a special kind of moron to hold on to your beliefs when the sum total of all empirical evidence, and what you can directly observe with your own eyes on a day to day basis directly contradicts those beliefs.

Addendum: It's really funny if you read the Flat Earther sites (caution - you will kill some neurons doing so). One of their major arguments now is that the world only LOOKS spheroid from space because of the lenses that are used in cameras. Lol.

I'm never sure if I buy that they actually think that but aren't just live action trollers. A step up from larpers actually. I kid.

Oh my, have to tell the guys in Sol space research to hide their toys better. It really cuts in the budget to pay for all these cover ups.

Mass Effect is build on the complete ignorance of science. I'm not sure why people continue to be surprised by how half-baked these ideas are in the end.

This is true. But, I standby previous statements that I've made that regardless that the mass effect completely violates laws of physics, it is actually really a rather clever idea for science fiction FTL lore. Probably one of the more clever science fiction ideas I've ever come across, actually.

So, I let Mass Effect get away with a lot since I do admire their initial creativity. ME3 tested my patience though.

My problem is that the idea of "negative" mass is only a concept in the sense that we can understand negative values mathematically, not because there's a cogent conceptual backbone to it. Whatever it is that ME does to justify FTL, ultimately I find it to be more confusing than anything.

 

But then I left the hard sciences for something very much not hard science-y, so I'm not a good example.

If there was a god, you would have been struck by lightning the moment you finished typing that sentence.
