Is conservation of energy a law?

[Robert Maxwell]

I'm still trying to figure out what this thread is about so I can determine whether it should be closed or moved to Misc.

 

[sojourner]

considering the OP never came back......

Such a matrix might result in crossing streams which might unleash a Beetlejuice factor of unparallelled proportions. Unless, there is some subspatial distortion in hyperspace which could create an entrance to an alternate universe that that might cause a cosmic implosion. Sounds risky.

It would be bad.

I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"

Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

Frankly, I've never quite figured that one out. All life as in ALL life on Earth? All life in the universe? Regardless, you'd think having every molecule in your body explode would be small potatoes by comparison. Not to mention a little redundant.

Or did he just mean YOUR life? Odd phrasing for an odd duck.
Still, RIP, Egon. Here's to you.

To (tenuously) connect this back to the OP: I bet Egon could have constructed an EMF probe capable of measuring someone's life-force departing.

On the other hand, in a case where every molecule in their body exploded (at the speed of light, yet), he wouldn't need to.

With respect to what this means, the takeaway I've always gotten from this is that it would be bad.

Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Silvercrest.

Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.

Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms.

I always assumed it meant the streams would create a closed loop, feeding back into each other and well, pouring a plasma stream directly into back nuclear power packs.

That would be kind of bad, and cause exploding alright.

Gov Kodos, tell him about the Twinkie.

 

[Gov Kodos]

We could be on the verge of a four fold crossrip. A P.K.E. surge of incredible even dangerous proportions.

 

[Metryq]

Way to stay on topic.

 

[sojourner]

It wasn't much of a topic.

 

[Silvercrest]

Are we coming up on a clang? You shut that thing down and we are not going to held responsible for what happens.

 

[Gov Kodos]

That's right, a disaster of Biblical proportions.

 

[sojourner]

Dogs and Cats, living together.... Mass Hysteria!

 

[Gov Kodos]

If we're wrong, then nothing happens! We go get banned; peacefully, quietly. We'll enjoy it! But if we're right, and we can stop this thing... Robert, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered TBBS members.

When someone asks if you're a mod, you say "Yes!"

This job is definitely not worth 11-5 a year.
