Batdude's Tourney Final!!!

So we were the third best team in the tourney....and i was the best debater.

Sounds about right.

Congrats guys. You earned it, and it was a well-fought match.

And particularly to DC, who had to try 4 times to get himself a title. Kudos bud. You deserve it.

🙂

But you were great opponents. ✅

Only if you can beat Bran/Goober in a grudge match.

😈

Actually, pretty soon there might be a decent reason to start having consolation matches for 3rd-4th....

Characters fly the same speed relative to their size when there .... they may move 1,000 miles almost instantly when there, but they are still only on one microscopic planet and have barely moved at all in relation to the "normal" world.

It's a little weird.

ya know, this little thought experiment has had me thinking about it the last couple days. i initially agreed with you, scoob, but upon further reflection, i don't think that IS the case, after all. if something is traveling c, then relativity is chucked out the window, i think.

were you talking specifically about the microverse in the comicbook world?

maybe it's just this damnable disease tha's making me nuts. haven't slept well in 3 days . . . 🙁

I don't think everything goes relatively on microverse. When Xavier went there, his powers did not go any weaker, in fact he was able to destroy planets with ease if I remember correctly...

Light speed is measured in miles per hour (or whatever) ... the relative distance of a mile (or a million miles) in the microverse is less than a milimeter in the normal world.

Of course .... hence the comic examples I kept using.

okay. cool. i knew that . . . 😕

your example DID lead to some interesting discussion in teh real world, though, scoob, for which i'm grateful. 🙂

mod's note -- a am veering off the topic of the thread, fully cognizant of the risks i entail in doing so.

but it's just a cool topic! 😄 so bear with me, dammnit and stop getting all over my case digi because i voted against you. 😠

geez . . .

*ahem* so, as i was saying, just to extend what i thought was a cool thought experiment, let's say the ss wanted to race a particle from earth to the sun. and let's say this particle is 10000000000x SMALLER than a tachyon -- such that electrons and even quarks looked like huge-ass planets -- then wouldn't it SEEM like the distance from one electron to another would be like planetary distances in OUR pov? i mean, wouldn't the distances SEEM to be 10000000000x greater to that particle? even though the distances are microscopic to us, they would seem vast from the perspective of the super-small . . . and if that IS the case, wouldn't it then follow that from the POV of the hyper-small particle, that it is actually covering a GREATER distance than the silver surfer would be? 10000000000x greater, in point of fact . . .? (makes my head hurt . . .)

but . . . like i said above, in answer to my own question, i realized that relativity (i THINK) goes out the window when we are dealing with c. in other words, i think the distance is absolute from BOTH perspectives. somehow. though that really doesn't seem to make much sense to me either 😬

course, the whole thing could simply be a figment of my disease-addled mind. seriously wondering if i have a ******* pneumonia . . .

Stupid fictional universe ... 😛

all that heavy thinking and THAT'S what i get . . .

bawling

😄

oh, and digi: what do you think of the new sig? better than the transformers?

(fionavar tapestry was the greatest set of fantasy books i've ever read, btw . . .)

Could use a border, less contrasting background, and some blending. But, surprisingly, the seemingly disparate images manage to work together better than expected, so it's not bad for the level you're at. The lens flare on the horn is a fun, if slightly heavy-handed, touch.

Sorry if that sounds not so great...it's intended as a compliment.

and believe me, i'll take it as such!

clap

by putting a border (they don't have ready-made borders in photoshop) i was afraid of making the images seem too small . . .

I just mean a 1-2 pixel black stroke to frame it. You don't need anything elborate.

i'll ponder . . .

In PS, to add a border, I always just increase the canvas size 2 or 4 pixels, and make sure the color is set to black (or whatever other color you want...black normally works fine).

But normally I do my borders in Gimp. Not sure why though...force of habit I guess.

Well, that just proves that you don't.

Nobody ever wonders if they have a disease to find out they're correct. The paranoid wonder if they have diseases that they don't, and the ignorant/naive/optimists get diseases without realizing it.

No, there is nothing in between. ermmnone

Well... If light speed wasn't absolute, then does that mean that if me and a guy slightly smaller then me raced at lightspeed, that I'd win by a microscopic amount because he'd cover a tiny little bit less distance then me?

wasn't wondering if i had a disease . . . i was wondering if i had pneumonia. 😛

doesn't make it easier to understand or explain though . . .
