Hey PR, what was that sci fi movie about a woman who kept powering up or something. and in the trailer a scientist said "When she gets to 100%, I don't know what will happen."
Looked like she was some kind of Species like psychic, or maybe it was based off Prototype the game.
No idea, but been wanting to track the movie down. I bet it was awful.

Lucy, with ScarJo?

I wouldn't be surprised, given some of the artists these days. There's a strange thread of laziness running through them all.

Shame on Galan for not catching that. His sci-fi geekness is overrated.

PROTOTYPE came out more than a decade after SPECIES.
I hinted it in the other thread but I'm considering making a chart properly correlating destructive capacity to energy output, where I deduce equations for much energy it would take to destroy an arbitrary portion of the planet, and disintegrate planets, stars and exotic objects like white dwarfs, and neutron stars and quasars (that require careful consideration of quantum-relativistic effects), and also a formula for the energy of a wave that would destroy anything within a specified perimeter of a a spherical object with a specified gravitational binding energy and radius. As well as some miscellaneous stuff like the deduction of the gravitational binding of galaxies, and whatnot.
I've derived most of the equations, what's left is to write out what the **** I'm actually trying to explain and make some visual references in Illustrator.
Would people here be interested in such a chart?
Optimally I'd want to add some interactive graphics after the deduction, so you could just specify something by plugging a number or sliding a bar, e.g.
...rather than having people trying to figure out how to plug these expressions into their calculator.
But I can't do that since I don't own KMC. What I can do however, is post links to WolframAlpha, like this one that integrates f(x) = x^2 from r to d and tell people to set the initial values r and d to whatever number they want to specify.
WolframAlpha is an extension of Mathematica and it uses the same (albeit a more simplified version of the language) so I could probably generate some graphics there.
These are just some ideas I have. But I do think it's time to provide a rigorous mathematical and empirical foundation for these things. Because people shouldn't have to guess that it take over a hundred times more energy to destroy a White Dwarf like Sirius B, than it does to destroy the Sun.
I'm also considering adding an article on dimensionality, as it pertains to space-time, internal symmetry and spaces for particle interactions. Because string theory seems to be pretty popular these days. Infinite dimensions and transfinite inductive dimensionality also seem relevant.
And naturally, a full explanation of transfinite cardinal numbers of ZFC, of ZFC+, and those incompatible with ZFC.
Basically a full digest on how to quantify and compare feats using contemporary physics.
