 		Hi everyone; just want to say that I just got home, found that I got my e-mails, wish I could contribute more, but my head is spinning with all this right now. Trying to get caught up.

Confused

Ok, i know I'm wayyy fixated on the charts pages. I had a thought about the M-Rotors....particularly M-collapse. The book refers to 80% of M-Rotors entering some sort of sympathetic spin condition that causes them to end up collapsing or failing. If there were, 10, or, say, less than 20 M-rotors, I think it would be odd to refer to them in percentage terms. There have got to be a lot of them out there to refer to them in that way.

just a thought that was bugging me.


Also - they're all around town. So - perhaps that's why they need people? To man all the m-rotors. See - Constant Sense of Dread

 		Re: anagram

This is half-baked, but maybe someone can do something with it.


If a unique anagram could be made with the letters on p. 27, the subscripts would then yield a unique sequence of digits (the first W maps to 6, the 2nd one to 0, etc.). The dashes would separate things into 6 numbers, with an average of 5 digits each.

I was thinking it might give us a zipcode for a 6th city, but there aren't enough 5s in the puzzle to cover the five known city zips.

Of course, it's going to be nearly impossible to make a good anagram. I've been hoping to make sense of something that included 'family tree' but none of them are any good so far....


Brilliant. now to figure out the anagram with the letters heeukruoarwslriymyerfonwtingto ( i think ).

if we assume "milwaukee" is a word, we're left with

hurorsryyerfonwtingto

nothing is jumping out.

also, "fragments" is in there as well. This could go anywhere; we need more refining, but i like the approach.

Just got back from a stroll with some friends, saw Russo stumbling around the streets. Offered him a ham sandwich, and he started crying...?

There's got to be some correlation between Jagoda and the constant, incessant food references. It doesn't make sense that all this guy does is eat...

 		Also - just wanted to point out. Chthonic relates to Cthulhu - but also the ground:

Quote:
Greek khthon is one of several words for "earth"; it typically refers to the interior of the soil, rather than the living surface of the land (as Gaia or Ge does) or the land as territory (as khora (χώρα) does). It evokes at once abundance and the grave.


Lots of "burying" and "digging up" going on.

I think this may relate to the mention of an alternative sources of energy through Go.D.S.E.E.D. or the "family tree"...maybe

 		prev. thread
posted in other thread as it doesn't appear to have anything to do with M:ARH...
some of you awesome smart people read the info contained in my link and see if you think it's a red herring or if TOG is a viable clue...please??!?

I don't think it's a red herring. Not sure if it is IG either. seems viable - since its a game company with no huge titles. Just simple platformers and RPGs. I mean, The Mountain Goats are also listed - but I didn't recognize any of their songs in the video.

m.w.e. stands for Meters of Water Equivalent.

I'm not sure if we're talking flow of cosmic rays here, or some other kind of high-energy waves or particles, but it's a start.

I would think that the chart refers to flow of proton energy at particular depths of whatever material we're talking about. Could be concrete for all we know, but the depth doesn't refer to actual depth in feet, it refers to the depth in meters of water that would reduce the flow of those particles the same amount as the actual material.

I'm still lookin around Very Happy


Can you explain that again, but this time to a High School grad?


LoL. It took me a bit to understand it too...but then again, I only get to check "Some College" on surveys...

m.w.e. in depth terms - Say you've got a sensor underground trying to detect cosmic particles. You could say that it's 1000 meters under typical rock. If it were sand, salt, marshmallows... whatever, instead of rock, the amount to which incoming particles would degrade would be different. m.w.e. is a way of standardizing the measurement for different materials through which the particles are passing. That way you could say, the particle degrading properties of passing through 1000 meters of standard rock is the same as those same particles passing through 2650 meters of water, so the meters of water equivalent of 1000m of standard rock is 2650 (typical rock is always multiplied by 2.650 for the m.w.e.). 1000 m of marshmallows could be the same as 30 m of water (for all we know, i'm guessing no one has tested).

Really all i was saying is that measurements in m.w.e. as in that graph are usually used for underground sensors trying to detect incoming particles.

that's all i got, i think Very Happy


i still didn't get a word of that... Confused

erm. I think it's hard to explain, for me anyway, because I'm not that into particle physics. I was hoping someone savvy on the subject would come along and make me seem like less of an idiot Very Happy

The point i was getting at, because we already knew what E p was, I was trying to make some correlation between that and what was going on down the left side of the graph.

Let's say that 1000 meters of rock has the same filtering effect as 2650 of water. That's my understanding of the measurement standard. It's just a way of not having to say what the material is that you're measuring through, because you're relating it's properties to some equivalent depth of water.

Like I said, I'm still looking around. I am now obsessed with finding some kind of correlation between particle energy at certain depths and m-rotors.

 		Don't think Dinosaurs actually lived with humans
I think people may be taking things a little too literally with the dinosaurs & humans living together thing.

Clearly whatever happened scrambled everyone's memory of the past. Leaving those living in the now to believe that posters of Hillary Duff and Lucille Ball are great works of art.

I think the same thing can be said for the dinosaurs and humans. Heck at this point whatever happened to everyone could have left nothing but bones behind. The "people" of the now are finding human bones next to dinosaur bones in what used to be a museum and they assume everyone was living together.

 		It's a relative term. Kind of like grams. 1kg is an object to which others can be compared. the same 1kg object may weigh less on the moon, so 1kg on the moon would end up heavier if weighed on earth.

When talking in m.w.e., 1 meter of water is the relative measurement. Cosmic rays travel through 1m of water at a certain rate. Other materials would have different effects. So in order to have a measurement of cosmic 'permeability', as it were? water depth is used as the relation.

1000m of rocks would have an m.w.e. comparable to 2650m of water (that is, cosmic rays would stop at 1000m of rock, where the same rays would stop at 2650m of water) - basically, rock is 2.65x more difficult than water for cosmic rays to travel through.

That's how I interpreted all this definition Smile is that about right, synspark? does that help, dposse?

I was thinking the same thing. But then, they quote a dinosaur. They have some record somewhere of humans stealing technology from dinosaurs also, which doesn't make much sense to me. There's no random pop culture reference I can think of for those kinds of claims.

 		... not yet. Maybe they're viral marketing a TV show about dinosaurs and monsters living together.

I would probably watch that!
