Maybe it appears that way to us since it is a completely different kind of lifeform?

Hopefully it doesn’t belgium our hopes before we could even conceive them…

technically, since all real black holes spin, any real black hole would have a very thin (relative to the black hole) channel through it, that makes time and distance through the primary spatial dimension very similar, due to the speeds you’d get to by going through it(gravitational slingshot through a supermassive black hole, anyone?), but it’d be like threading a needle where if you hit the walls, you get deleted at worst, and stranded in a new universe you got into by coming out of a white hole at best
but also black holes do distribute information across their surfaces very quickly, and store it for as long as the light can stay existing, and light can get down to arbitrarily low levels of energy, but can only get up to a certain amount of energy before spontaneously gaining mass

What is the max energy a photon can have?
2 Likes
about the same energy that an electron-positron pair releases upon annhilation(which is released in the form of 3 high gamma photons)

What is the lowest amount of energy a photon can have then?
2 Likes
i don’t think we’ve discovered the lower limit, if there even is one
but lowering the energy either lowers both the intensity and the wavelength, or just the intensity

What would a 0-energy photon even be like?

All elements, except hydrogen and artificial elements, are released by hypernovas.

Isn’t helium and some other lighter-than-iron elements also released by the deaths of “small stars” (like the sun)?

Small stars don’t go hypernova though…

I didn’t say the go through that, they do however release their outer layers in a more “peaceful” manner.

helium, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon are all produced in the cores of stars though, fluorine can only be produced, during supernovae, not just released. if it gets produced inside a live star, it immediately becomes another element. generally oxygen or neon, specifically

Can fluorine be produced during any supernovae or only specific kinds of it?

yes sir!

I hope willow doesn’t just turn the first civ they meet into an unplayable abomination with their qu editing…

it’s a refrigerant that has an absurdly high enthalpy of vaporization for its boiling point, which lets you make really strong heat pumps(smth with 10x the Hv of R-134A would let you get a heat pump that uses an adiabatic compressor a COP of up to 50)
it’d also require i have the quantum communication thingy to be able to communicate across the universes in more than one direction
what about if it’s at scales small enough to not affect any planets?
i won’t turn anyone who doesn’t try to exterminate me into unplayable abominations
and even with them, they’ll still be playable, they just won’t be able to access
well
anything that requires object manipulation or sapience

There’ll be no reason for anyone affected by this to keep playing then. What could the even achieve in such a form?

i will be nice enough to make them be/have access to space whales if it happens, but the point of doing it is that they try to make me unable to play, so i retaliate in kind
and if i’m feeling generous and have the tech points to use it, i might give them a modular colonial species
if i don’t have the tech points tho,
well
black hole sun
or suck all all the heat out of their planets and beam it to one of mine
or both

Why heat and not minerals and stuff of their planet?
