  1. If you're a 3rd Ideal lightweaver what are your two truths?
  2. Caffeine messes up my sleep too much, so Sprite or such. Or just a sparkling water!
  3. I've read everything up to Emberdark, except white sands, but I'm not spoiler adverse.

    Shard Numbers

    Is there an authoritative list of shard numbers? We know that Honor is 10 and Odium is 9, and we know either ruin or preservation (or both) is 16. I see on coppermind that Virtuosity is presumably 13. Has anyone compiled WOBs or references for numbers? With that is there any evidence that the number changes when a shard or ?
  5. Mass is really just tightly bound energy, they're the same thing. We don't typically see massless things have a gravitational effect for the same reason you don't notice the things around you gravitationally attracted to you. The earth is so much bigger than you, and mass is extremely energy dense (e=mc^2 is the conversion rate between rest mass and energy. c^2 is a huge scaler. It's actually a shortened infinite series that adds up a bunch of velocity terms, so we call that rest mass cause at rest the velocity terms are all 0) and so massless things have much less of an effect. Also massless things have to always move at the speed of light, so they're not around long to actually have an effect. There's actually a fun thought experiment about this, highlighted in this link: https://physicsdetective.com/the-mystery-of-mass-is-a-myth/ I haven't read the whole article (I was just wanting this one example) but the section labeled "The photon in the mirror-box" has a description of it. Effectively the idea of mass and energy are the same, like particle and wave.
  6. All things that have energy also produce a gravitational field proportional to the amount of energy. With the time dilation in Roshar now we know that the cosmere also experiences general relativity. So, do you think anti-investiture gravitates normally or does it produce a negative gravitational field. In our universe nothing does anti-gravity, even anti-matter was recently confirmed to gravitate normally, but our concepts of warp drives need things that gravitate negatively. I believe there's WOB that the space-age will have FTL travel, and this seems like a good candidate for the mechanism. Either that or mass effect from weight ferochemy.
