Time, Space, and Dimensions / Re: Schala a Violation of the Conservation of Matter?
« on: July 21, 2008, 11:13:32 pm »Or, yet again, am i missing something?
Yes, but it might just be a very minor consideration: Dragonopolis. It was pulled from neither Home World nor Another World (as indeed that distinction didn't exist at the "time" that the city was pulled into the Keystone Dimension). However, it might be that Dragonopolis was not so much pulled from an alternate dimension but rather a discarded timeline. Unfortunately, much work needs to be done on the distinctions between timelines and dimensions.
I just spent the last week pondering that very issue and the best I came up with was a question, really: Is time elastic or brittle?
Terra Tower came not from another universe/alternate reality, but rather a discarded timeline?
I somehow can't grasp that.. Would you mind to elaborate?
And we really need to distinguish timelines/universes/alternate realities (Home world/Another world/ Dragonians)
from dimensions according to definition (3D/4D/5D and such)...
Is time elastic or brittle? Probably elastic, but can be torn apart by powerful forces (consider the black hole again).. I'm unsure of this though..

Oh man.. All this positive feedback has made me want to watch this film even more..
But movie ticket prices in my country has gone really high, probably can't afford it right now..

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Re: So, What is the Entity in CT?
« on: July 21, 2008, 10:17:05 pm »
Yeah, it wasn't really mentioned that the Planet is the entity, but the alternatives you mentioned are not very likely candidates.. If Schala was the entity, she could have done with saving herself from the Ocean Palace disaster.. Can't be Gaspar: he's marooned on a timeless nowhere, unable to direct the flow of time, only to observe it... And it surely can't be Lavos: why would Lavos aid the very people (Chrono and Co.), in defeating himself?

Time, Space, and Dimensions / Re: Is this possible?
« on: July 17, 2008, 11:17:14 pm »
Almost everyone here in the Compendium thinks that the Entity created the Gates, therefore the Entity, being a sentient being, would have created the gates in places of convenience... in short, the location of these gates are arbitrary... Surely the Entity, wanting to aid Crono and Co. in defeating Lavos, would not place the gates in unsuitable places such as inside a mountian, or the sea, or a wall...
As for the Epoch, the attachment of wings by Dalton would have been an easy solution.. But how about when it was 'earthbound' so to speak? Remember that when after Zeal fell, Epoch must have been surely destroyed by the tsunami afterwards, but it wasnt.. It somehow managed to get to a place of safety, and rejoined the Co. afterwards in the Last Village.. We could assume that, being built by a wise mentor of an ancient, advanced civilization in a technologically advanced era (2300), the Epoch might contain a highly sophisticated AI that would ensure its passenger's safety, in ordinary spacetime and whilst travelling between them..

Whoa, hold your horses andrewwan1980, and welcome to the Compendium!!!
I suggest you finish the game in its entirety first, then probably you'd understand it more..
If you still need help in understanding CC's plot, then please do check out the Compendium's encyclopedia, there are articles and analyses about the subject matter there..

Reality, Real-World Connections, and the Supernatural / Re: Is it me or is Lavos basically..
« on: July 15, 2008, 10:54:58 pm »
Welcome to the Compendium Insane!!
There has been a lot of talk about the real nature of Lavos, and his purpose of consuming Planets..
Some say he's just a super-evolved biological, others say he's a superweapon gone awry, but there's nothing really definitive..
Anyway, your analogy is still good, Galacticus did consume the Planets that he encountered, very much like Lavos did...

Time, Space, and Dimensions / Re: Schala a Violation of the Conservation of Matter?
« on: July 10, 2008, 08:35:54 am »
A kind of ridiculous idea entered my mind:
I think we indeed ought to consider the DBT as a Universe in itself, with its own special spacetime arrangement..
If the Multiverse concept applies to the Chronoverse, then i think it would render the DBT useless. This is because no information/matter would be sent there, and no discarded timelines. The information lost in one Universe would be preserved by the 'creation' of a new one. But why can we see discarded timelines in the DBT? This is probably because that there are only two Universes that were created (Home and Another) while the DBT exists as a Universe created not according to the probabilistic multiverse theory. Other timeline changes failed to result in a Universal/'dimensional' split, and were instead thrown to the DBT (or maybe home and another were not sent there mainly because of Schala's intervention?)..
Or, yet again, am i missing something?

Tyranno Lair at the time of Lavos' fall is a close second to me, although i got too excited and clicked submit before highlighting it.. Damn..

« on: July 10, 2008, 05:26:29 am »Multiverses in the real world still amounts to just speculation, but I do hope you are correct.. Although we cant still say with certainty that no matter is removed or added, because we cant 'see' what goes on 'inside' a black hole.. All the current propositions are made mainly with theoretical math and physics, with very little physical evidence..I am not delving into Black Hole Multiverse theory(as I am assuming a common origin; i.e. parallel universes), which says that new universes are created whenever a black hole is formed(i.e. a parent-child Multiverse), rather I am only covering probabilistic parallel universes, which, in relation to the Chronoverse, do exist.
Side Note: Found an article that some may find interesting to read; it involves multiple universes and time travel.

I am Jet Li... And I am "The One"... hehe
I was reading on the Black Hole Multiverse Theory, with relation to cosmology, so it appears were at different pages of the multiverse book... As for me, even though there is nothing to *definitely* prove the probability multiverse theory, nothing has yet to disprove it either, so its quite possible.. although now, i hope its not true, at least, not in reality.. I would like a single me in all known cosmos!!
...Although, if the probabilistic multiverse theory holds true to the Chronoverse, why could we only 'see' two multiverses (Home and Another)?? If we could access one Multiverse pair (Home to Another), why not others, with respect to the different simultaneous events that occured in each of those other multiverses?? And how could have FATE managed to manipulate those two multiverses??
Thanks to every one of you, I think my brain is broken.
Seeing as how nobody's even thought of this yet, but maybe this was developer oversight and Schala actually IS a violation of the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy?
So there's like two possible theories on that side.
1. Developer oversight
2. Different quantum mechanics and physics construct in the Chronoverse.
The second one's most likely... I mean, there is no such thing as a DBT in real physics you know..

Time, Space, and Dimensions / Re: Schala a Violation of the Conservation of Matter?
« on: July 09, 2008, 10:22:11 pm »Okay, hopefully they are proven true.. I too am uncomfortable with the notion of matter and information just 'disappearing' from the Universe..No information is removed... an entire new universe is created with the old one becoming, in relative effect, the DBT. Also no matter/energy is removed/added, either─it is simply repurposed with new tags(saying 'where' the matter/energy is and in 'what' state it is in.)
Multiverses in the real world still amounts to just speculation, but I do hope you are correct.. Although we cant still say with certainty that no matter is removed or added, because we cant 'see' what goes on 'inside' a black hole.. All the current propositions are made mainly with theoretical math and physics, with very little physical evidence..
So how about Schala and her 'tag'? What new quanta of information would have to come in and 'displace' her and send her to the DBT? Or do i miss the point completely?Schala is a 'composition' of existence tags; if a 'new' Schala where to come in with the exact composition of tags of Schala, the old one's matter/energy would be repurposed for the new one and an entirely new universe would be created anteroactively─while relatively 'shunting' the old Schala, when in reality nothing was 'shunted'. A new universe was rewritten from the old one.
Ok, that's good enough for me.. Thanks..
