 		Spec:E=MC2
Ok so I was looking at the video of little Meaghan and I noticed that the Mpeg was created by a company or person by the logo of EMC2
which is energy=mass+c(squared)(C always equals speed of light)
Einsteins most popular equation
course as most of you have figured out I am not a rocket scientist(lelele)

simply put (which is really funny cause there is much more to it than that)

In Einsteins physics some of the energy you put in when you push an object goes into making it move faster and some of the energy goes into making it heavier.This tells you that mass and energy are equivalent and interchangeable.

I also learned something strange...There is what is called a "TIME DILATION: it is the stretching out of time -the time recorded on a moving clock runs slow compared to the clock of a stationary observer

This leads into light time light always travels at the same speed for all observers and it provides the ultimate measure of time...you can choose light from any source in the universe measure how long it takes to cover a chosen distance and work out how much time has passed...so the ultimate clock would be a light clock(wont go into that in great detail)
but light would bounce up and down between 2 mirrors and create a zigzag that would keep time..but light doesnt just move up and down it moves sideways..if the clock were moving ..the faster it moves the more the bouncing light pulse is forced into a stretched out zig zag untill at the speed of light it is moving sideways as fast as it is moving up and down and can never complete even a single bounce between the mirrors.
Time stands still for anything moving at the speed of light...
(on a sidenote I understand that if we go to the center of our galaxy that there is 0 time.

this leads to the union of Spacetime- The union of time with the three dimensions of space makeing a four dimensional whole...

Einstein figured out too that gravity and acceleration are the same thing

I got all of this from a little book I picked up called Get a Grip on Physics by John Gribbin

oh and here is the link for the mpeg

I think that the Wish lives outside of time..... Shocked

 		By this then, doesn't all time coexist? We see a star that burned out years ago because it takes that long for the light to reach us. In effect the star is alive and dead at the same time.

Oddly enough, like this post, that appears here when I click into the thread, I can edit it, but on my computer doesn't appear as a reply on the main page for topic. It's here and it's not at the same time. Hmm... does this post exist beyond my universe? Will Sunny or anyone else know my thoughts on this topic? Maybe you all have heard enough from me. Maybe it's a conspiracy.

 		More e=mc˛
The guide points out that the SOD waste removal site;
http://www.sonsofdon.com/SODC%20-%20Waste.htm
has the word EUROTIRE inscribed on the rims of the truck in the
flash animation.

www.EUROTIRE.com a NJ tire company has a pretty lousy website.

In fact, the information on it is near irrelevant, as its soo incomplete.
(I worked for Goodyear during college) And the link to the tire tech
section of the website is an image of E=MC˛

Maybe a trout, but who knows.

Hey all, first post. I just started following this and getting caught up on things over the last couple days. Anyway, introductions aside I think Shaughn might be onto something. You have to zoom *way* in on the flash anim and you can indeed see the word Eurotire on the rims of the truck. www.eurotire.com is *nasty*.. Credits on the site say it was created by Pit-Stop Internet Ltd. Which goes to a forbidden error message.

whois output on the pit-stop.com

Gonna do some more poking around on eurotire.com and see if I can find anything..

Eurotire and Pit-Stop are most likely real (not in-game) businesses.

 		more e=
The anonymousfame site shows a globe that changes into an eye then into a mailbox rising from the globe. The light in the mailbox radiates outwards into the blue yonder ... towards an "e" (for e-mail) but I think there is a deeper meaning here.

 		Eurotire
Eurotire are certainly a legit business; plenty of mentions of them if you Google, and the author of the website Stover Babcock also turns up loads in racing circles...

I've blanked for today...can't find anything on the site apart from an awful lot of HTML to put a white dot in the middle of Tire Dimension Formulas link on http://www.eurotire.com/%7Eeurotire/tiretech.html but he's probably using an editor and backspaced or something. Smile Can't see it being anything in the tech data seeing as they're a real business.

But I'm still sure that it's not a coincidence that their name's hidden on the tyres. I think.

Hey Snow

I agree with you

I am wonderin if it is the differnt ways that we will be contacted....
I figured out or rather spec'ed that the eyes with the wires comeing out is fiber optics...(in abstract form it reminds me of the end of a peacock feather..

but then again the other image is of the world and it has little red balls orbiting it....
IT REMINDED ME OF AN ATOM WITH THE Circles within the circles and spheres within the spheres but what it is probably refering to it sattilites circling our globe....
and then the emaill


the one thing that they have in common is they are all forms of, a mechanical way to communicate.
the way we communicate in our reality

 		Ok, this is the third time I have tried to post these. Lets hope they go now, shall we?

The image of NYC is the skyline taken from the Staten Island Ferry. Most likely taken 12 to 6 months ago.

The eye is most likely overlaid with a circuit of some sort. The chip/conection in the center must be highly miniaturized.

 		decompiling swf files
it looks like you got these images by decompiling the swf. general consensus is that hacking swf files is considered unfair play in this type of game.

 		From Question 11 of the CTW FAQ:

Quote:
* Decompiling of Flash programs and posting of solutions and/or elements undiscoverable by any other method. While we recognize that many players will continue to use these programs to "rip apart" any Flash based puzzle or movie we post, we strongly encourage players to solve them based on the logic and plot of the story, not merely by analyzing the action script and determining which buttons to push in which sequence. If you use Flash decompilers, we ask that you not post the solution discovered through this method until the "legitimate" solve is discovered and posted by players abiding by the rules of the game. Any proof (through message board posting) of deliberate violation of this request may force CTW to remove the offending player(s) from the registered players' database.


I don't really see the harm in grabbing images from a Flash file. I mean, you could probably get those by pausing and screenshotting, right? I think the main point is that puzzles contained or partially contained in flash shouldn't be 'solved' through decompilation. Getting in the habit of ripping apart every Flash file could lead down that road. It's like a gateway drug or something. Razz

 		well, when you decompile something, there's no way to say "only show me the pictures i know are there" to the decompiler. you're going to see any hidden images, text, etc whether you knew it was there or not. this may naturally lead to a solution that you never would have obtained by solving the puzzles yourself. posting these extracted elements of the swf, while it may be harmless enough this time, isn't something i think we should be encouraging. my two cents, anyway.
