Leave Pinnocio's mom out of this!

You're both a bunch of loonies.

[Sandpit]

you're just jealous of our space bacon

[MarineTech]

Am not, for I have the vastly superior Hyperspace bacon.

[Void Angel]

?
Your bacon is so much smaller that you can eat it in a trivial amount of time as opposed to realspace bacon?

[Sandpit]

Their space bacon is like Chinese food. 30 minutes later you're still hungry. Marik brand space bacon satisfies and fills you up.

[Void Angel]

You mean 30 parsecs later.

Parsecs are a number used to represent length. "30 parsecs later" has no bearing without knowing the speed of the object. 30 parsecs later could be 20 years or 20 seconds depending on the speed traveled. As such, I stand by my earlier statements.

[Void Angel]

As jump transits are instantaneous, the presumed speed is a given. Thus, parsecs is arguably the only meaningful measurement involved. None of which comes close to answering the real question: since jump transits are instantaneous, how would anyone even try this alleged "hyperspace bacon?"

No, you're assuming travel in hyperspace. Again, the measure of length gives no reference to time. There's also no such thing as instantaneous, you still have delays between hittin ga button and arriving.

There you go folks, scientific fact, Marik brand space bacon best

Which is why we fight you clanners tooth and nail. Marika!

Hitting the button isn't part of the actual jump event - and MarineMechs brought up hyperspace. That was why I went with parsecs in the FIRST place!

without being able to travel in time though there's no way for it to be instantaneous. There is still a fraction of a second between the start of forward propulsion and arrival and accelerating down into a safe speed.

[Void Angel]

There's no forward propulsion in a jump event. You can't apply Einsteinian physics to it because it's impossible under normal physics rules. Thus, while physics may predict some sort of non-measurable instant of time necessary for the event to occur, it remains immeasurably small and thus hypothetical. So, for the purposes of evaluating porcine meat products.

Yet while we argue, a new evil arises - the Heresy of Cheese!

Even if you argue event horizon, wormholes, blackholes, etc. that would involve creating a hole in space and/or folding distances in and on itself in order to achieve NEAR-instantaneous travel, that still is instantaneous. Instantaneous is impossible. Physics dude.

Impossible fantasy physics! So there.

You mean, "Kake." It is K-town, after all - there should be a law.

No, I meant cake. I want one of the original cakes, not that new-fangled 21st century "kake"

[Void Angel]

Ah, so the original varieties are better - like with Canadian Bacon!
