Enter a username Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 The Curse of Death's newest recruit walked with purpose. At almost six months in, he had started to learn his way around their base. He had some information that had some relevance to their short-term goals, and good information at that. As such he was on his way to petition the leader. Some organizations had members ask their direct superiors, who would contact their superiors... Far more room for error. Far more time consumed. Far more inefficient. At last, he reached the center of the base. it was dimly lit, by design. That made the leader look far more imposing, something that was really quite unnecessary. But who was he to judge? "I have a proposal. We have reason to believe that the Fallen King and his followers have recently acquired an unusual asset. Shall we draft an alliance?" In this context, as in any where the Curse of Death was involved, the word "alliance" was used in the loosest way possible. "How sure are you of this?" "Seventy-five percent sure." "How valuable would this asset be?" "It depends on our most recent project's success. It could be worthless, or it could be nearly as valuable as knowledge of how to mass-produce pure skill. Or it could simply be another asset." "Very well. Tell them you wish to form an alliance." "The usual terms?" "Yes. The usual terms." Behind his mask, the member smiled.

First, I must ask; what is the process for the creation of an entropy bomb? What is required? How expensive is it? Quote The entropy bomb requires some materials that aren't too hard to acquire, all things considered, but also requires something very hard to get- a single Hydrogen-22 atom. This is incredibly difficult, as you'd have to deal with the challenge of incredibly quick radioactive decay, along with the problem of it doesn't actually exist. With infinite universes to search, this hasn't stopped them, though it has made finding one, isolating it, somehow preventing it from decaying, and transporting it to their base near impossible, making each one a huge investment. As for the process of making an entropy bomb... I'm still not sure.

Quote Well, by using a False Vacuum with some Superfluid Helium-3 and smashing together a couple neutron stars... Spoiler Should I actually explain it or leave it at that already overly-scientific sentence? 1
xinoehp512 he/him Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Quote Well, I know what all of those things are - but not how they're supposed to work together, or how they would really cause the destruction of a universe on a macrocosmic level. A false vacuum refers to the idea that the Higgs field is in fact metastable. If this were true, a transition to a stable field would indeed fundamentally alter the universe as the stable field expanded outwards at the speed of light, releasing incredible amounts of energy and changing the laws of physics as it passed. It wouldn't really destroy the universe, though. Even the destruction it did wreak would only be able to expand at the speed of light, meaning it could take eons to encompass the universe. Smashing together a couple of neutron stars... you're referring to strange matter, aren't you? Another scary-sounding proposal, the idea with strange matter is that it converts all normal matter that it touches into more strange matter. It would definitely end all life on any planet it came into contact with, and could probably destroy stars too However, it has to actually get on the planet/star. Neutron stars colliding could send sprays out through space, but space is... big. Really big. The chances of the strange matter hitting any particular celestial object is incredibly low, and it wouldn't even be able spread beyond that due to gravity. Essentially, you'd have to manually take it to every single planet you wanted to affect. (Another note is that if that if the higgs field collapse occurred, strange matter would most likely not work the same way- if it even existed at all. So they couldn't really be used together.) Helium-3 is a isotope of helium with one neutron instead of 2 and is theorized to make sustainable fusion attainable. Superfluid helium-3 also exists but I don't think it's theorized to have any particularly dangerous characteristics beyond being extremely cool.

As for how all the Strange Matter hits all the universe's planets... I'm not sure.

Quote I don't know much about this but I'm sure a sufficiently advanced group could find some nanomachines to direct them. On the other end, because of the Law of Infinity, they just need to find a universe where this kind of thing does work and then figure out how to move it to a different one. Or I bet there's easier ways to make a world ending weapon, like, for instance, the Infinity Stones. Apparently there's also something that literally just... does that in Doctor Who, but I haven't seen that. That's just weapons that we've seen that can already do that. If you amped up the Halo Array or the weird matter gun from Ender's Game, those could also just obliterate a universe.

Quote Containing the negatively charged stranglet matter (and it would have to be negatively charged, to be dangerous) would simply require a sufficient negative charge to repel it. I think the most likely way for an entropy bomb to work is to cause existence to decay into pure creation energy, then use that energy to propagate the decay.

Channelknight Fadran Posted October 11, 2020 Author Posted October 11, 2020 The letter came by owl, like the old-timey letter deliverers that Iode's grandfather used to rant about. He frowned at the odd delivery, but upon seeing who it was from, he nodded to himself and pushed the strange occurence aside. Upon reading the letter, Iode quickly turned off the lights and closed the windows. He grabbed a single candle and held it up to the letter to read it in privacy; he wouldn't want anybody else to know about this. "That's... quite the idea, old friend." Iode said to himself, scratching his beard. "Dangerous, yes... but impressive." He began writing a letter to return to the once-merchant. @Channelknight Fadran Quote Oh... wait.
Frustration Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Quote Well, if this is just for plot points with no thread specifically for them... Frustration's attention was on Scandrial, there, the boundaries of the Cosmere, and what was outside seem to have been breached. Is this Harmonies doing? No, Harmony was trapped by his own power, this was something else. "I'll have to look into this, perhaps I can reward Khriss for the Frustration she has endured."
Channelknight Fadran Posted October 12, 2020 Author Posted October 12, 2020 Iode, dressed in black, waited impatiently in an alleyway. He fingered his letter anxiously, glancing at the guards out on the street. They were currently haggling with an old lady, trying to get themselves a special discount on her home-baked bread because of their 'protection.' They were abusing their powers, of course; most guards did. It wouldn't be like two lazy volunteers to check every alleyway, but if they found him in here, they would search him, and what they would find would likely put Iode through the dungeons and gallows. He could defend himself, of course, but violence was to be avoided at all costs; violence led to rioting, and rioting led to death. Someone dropped into the shadows behind him. Iode turned calmly to the newcomer. "Ayia. You're late again." "It's hard to be on time when the watchtowers are being manned with twice as many people as usual. What have you got for me?" Iode passed her two letters. "Keep this one," he told her, handing her Fadran's, "and pass this one to Nox." He handed her the one he had written himself. Ayia looked them over. "I take it this is a 'matter of great importance?'" "That it is. Try not to get caught and killed." "When have I ever done that?" Ayia smiled, then cast a metal line to the heavens and soared off. Iode smiled, then turned around to see the two guards marching towards his alleyway. They had seen Ayia use her Traveline. "Hello, officers," Iode said, "how may I help you today?" "You're under arrest," the first said simply, grabbing his arms and binding them, "for conspiring with witches and receiving ExtoUniversal letters." Iode sighed. "I was afraid of that." He let the guards carry him away to his fate. At least he passed the information along--his old friend's idea would live on.
