Well, not nothing as for the most part the Cosmere follows the actual laws of physics, thermodynamics, etc. but generally speaking yes nothing to do with Adonalsium. As for their obviousness, in theory, often yes. In practice, flip a coin .

It was a bad joke, basically If A is in thermal equilibrium with B AND B is in thermal equilibrium with C then via Zeroth's law (4th law of Thermodynamics) you know that A is in thermal equilibrium with C. The "BUT YOU CAN'T" was me poking fun at Bill Nye; basically in a demonstration with Neil Degrasse Tyson a couple of years ago Bill Nye messed up the law saying that if A=B and B=C, then you still can't know that A=C and Tyson looking quite embarrassed had to stop him mid lecture/demonstration and tell him actually Bill...

They probably aren't particularly important as all of the information in Sazed's Coppermind's were transcribed into the "Words of Founding". Also just prior to ascending Sazed dumped the lump sum of his Coppermind's into his mind so even if they survived the Catacendre they would have been empty. I suspect his Rings and Bands are nothing more than regular Metalminds and their true worth would be historical.

Zeroth's law <3 It's fun because at it's base you can look at it as If A=C & B=C, then A=B; BUT YOU CAN'T!

Nailed it. To expand just a little bit on Spool's answer, being a Truthless is a ridiculously cruel punishment; once Truthless you are obligated to obey the commands of whomever holds your Oathstone. There is an implication that it is expected that the commands you receive will go against the precepts of the Stone Shaminate. The cruelty comes from the idea that you are still required to fulfill the commands but you are not excused from the consequences and are not absolved of your actions. In addition, we know that soldiers are the lowest rung of Shin society and the implication is that Truthless are even lower so it is social deposition as well.

Excellent, thanks! I hadn't seen that one. Interestingly I've seen him asked about that in person before (during the Shadows of Self tour) and he RAFO'd it about as fast as I have ever seen him RAFO something.

Do you have a source for this? I know it was all but confirmed, but BS has been notoriously closed mouthed about this.

I'd have to concur with you here. Generally speaking, I am a Japanese language purist for Anime; but FMA, Cowboy Bebop and Yu Yu Hakusho are the three animes I will willingly watch in English (I actually prefer the English to the Japanese in Yu Yu Hakusho because Justin Cook is incredible as Yusuke).

We know via WoB that the Splintering of a Shard is indeed the the same process as the shattering of Adonalsium on a smaller scale and it is reversible. The relevant WoB:

I'd 2nd Soul Music. On a very different level of humor Stephen Colbert's "I am America, and so can you" is pretty high on this list for me too.

I scoured through the WoBs when I found that one and, alas, at the moment there are no more [to my knowledge] regarding Human-Kandra relations. I'll have to ask BS about it next time he has an East Coast signing.

I don't know what you're getting at here...

There is a WoB related to this from Reddit. Thanks @Pagerunner! With that said, it doesn't really answer the question all that much.

I got this one; People to avoid in a Dark Alley...

Couple of relevent WoBs: I would guess that Hoid used Feruchemy to locate the Coppermind and then acquired it in Shadesmar.

Relevent WoB:

Structural Purist, Ingredient Neutral.

No, we know from secret history that the Mistborn you mention Regarding your other post, yes Hoid is likely a Mistborn rather than a Misting.

I just finished reading through the entire document. That was magical, there were probably 20 WoBs that I had never seen before. Thank you @Pagerunner!

Is it possible? not likely, Arsteel was killed by Vasher and reanimated as the Lifeless Clod. Regarding the timing; Warbreaker is before Stormlight 1 and Mistborn Era 2 is after Stormlight 5, so yes, that theoretically works. damnation, ninja'd by @The One Who Connects. Well played mate.

Thanks mate, trying to find WoBs on my phone is brutal...

This is correct. I'm having trouble finding the WoB but I am positive there is a relatively recent one where Brandon confirmed that Copper could interfere with the Listener Rhythms. I also remember him confirming that a Copper cloud could block the life sense of the first Heightening.

I highly doubt it. I suspect that seeing the future isn't Atium's effect at all, rather it is a side effect of it. Atium allows you to partially slide into the Spiritual Realm and gives you the capacity to comprehend what you are seeing. A couple of relevent WoBs:

Oh Roy ...

A man after my own heart <3
