It involves an unnamed planet in a nearby star system; a crew of 20,000 to assure sufficient genetic diversity, and a generational ship that will make the trip in 50 years or so.

Michael Hopcroft Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 "I've found the perfect new home! Wonderful climate, friendly inhabitants, truly advanced science and progress..." "Great! What's this planet called?" "Krypton!" "You realize that we are seeing it the way it was 3,000 years ago." "Maybe, but can it really change that much since then?"

Cancer Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 The "cosmological dark age", between about 400,000 and 10^9 years after the Big Bang. A snapshot from that era would give potent (and all but unavailable) clues about structure formation at early times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"This is actually simpler than most people realize, because once you make the correct Lutz-Bogolyubov transcription corrections of the Dresden Codex texts, it turns out the baktun rolls over in July 2029, and the world will end then. So our goal here is to end with exactly zero dollars balance on 1 August 2029." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can watch Adric die. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthshock OT (In Whoniverse): Adric can do Block Transfer Computations, the most powerful mathematical discipline in the Universe that can shape reality itself, in his head. Not even the most intelligent of Time Lords can do that. Matthew Waterhouse wouldn't want to hear it, as he pretty much gave up on acting, but a ticked-off Adric having gone to some random point in the universe and nursing a grudge against the beloved mentor who left him spiraling through time and space to die could make a good DWRPG adventure.
