DeadFencer Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Wayne compares someone to a dolphin, meaning dolphins, or some rough equivalent, exist on Scadrial. The implications are staggering. 1
mossyfisk Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Quick, someone tie a dolphin down and strap a Southern-style nicrosil-metalmind to it: we've got soul science to be doing.
carlucill Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 What are the implications? DEAR GOD MAN, THE IMPLICATIONS ARE OBVIOUS! The Set is clearly a cabal of highly intelligent hemalurgically infused dolphins hell bent on ruling the world! Trell is merely a front to detract attention from this subtle aquatic menace. 3
Angsos Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Or someone from the Cosmere has access to a paralell universe where earth exists. Hey, might Meghan brought them
The Invested Beard Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 When they said so long and thanks for all the fish the Cosmere is obviously where they ended up. 5
The Ninja Yodeler he/him Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I really wanna read something about the groups that are storing breath to study undersea life. When Marasi started talking about pilot fish following sharks, my face became a big ol cheeser. Kept picturing a feruchemist engaging in fisticuffs with with a shark. Maybe some octopus. 2
hoidhunter he/him Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 When they said so long and thanks for all the fish the Cosmere is obviously where they ended up. damnation...beat me to it! Ah well...have an upvote for being able to quote douglas adams... 1
The Invested Beard Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 And have an upvote for getting it.
RShara she/her Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Well, Brandon has said that Scadrial is basically the Cosmere's Earth-equivalent, so anything that exists on Earth probably exists on Scadrial.
Weltall Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Can you hemalurgically spike dolphins with a couple bits of copper to make them sentient? And if so does this mean that we'll have dolphins alongside the humans when we get fourth era Mistborn and FTL travel? Please? Watch the first FTL ship on Scadrial be named the Streaker...
Shardbearer he/him Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 I've started thinking about this recently. The Cosmere has humans, animals, and plant life that are very similar to what we have on Earth. Horses. Parrots. Other types of "chicken". Dogs. I used to think that this was sort of "handwavium". Obviously, the same species would not all evolve in another universe. But, it's easier to write and read a book if there are elements from the real world that we can relate to. Recently I started to wonder if something else was going on. What if the Spiritual Realm has archtypes for all these different species that all the creatures running around in the Cosmere are based on?
Voidus Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Well Scadrian life was created in its entirety by Shards so there's no Handwavium needed there.
Weltall Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 They probably copied from Yolen since that's where they were from and what they were familiar with. Which would explain why life on Scadrial is familiar to us but the other worlds where it evolved independently, less so. The fact that Hoid uses terminology familiar to us when telling a story to Kaladin (who has no idea what a 'bunny rabbit' is) seems to support this.

Well, statistically Yolen having the same evolutionary progression as Earth is just as unlikely as any other potential possibility. So it's not impossible, and thus it happened
Voidus Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Well, statistically Yolen having the same evolutionary progression as Earth is just as unlikely as any other potential possibility. So it's not impossible, and thus it happened Just Yolen having it is more likely than multiple planets having it and Yolen in turn may have been created by Adonalsium who may have used omniscience to know what life is like on earth and duplicate it.
natc Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Well the other shards weren't very creative, so that wasn't exactly an independent event anymore . . .
