jwpacker Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 A mere 52 levels of Density Increase will make your density slightly higher than that of neutronium. Why yes, I do have today off, why do you ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost-angel Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Re: Useless Hero Facts Depends on which chunk of source material you look at. In short: It's a made up substance. Long Answer Here On Wiki I'm assuming the OP is likely referring to Star Trek Neutronium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwpacker Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Re: Useless Hero Facts Actually, I was going with the real scientific definition of neutronium - that is, the substance that Neturon Stars are made of, a material made up entirely of neutrons, no protons, no electrons, just densely packed neutrons. http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1185582 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwpacker Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Re: Useless Hero Facts I tried to post earlier, but got et by the spam filter Neutronium is the material that neutron stars are made out of, made entirely of neutrons - no electrons or protons - densely packed. So roughly half as dense as a calc book, and a third as dense as fruit cake. News readers possess infinite density. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbywolfe Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Useless Hero Facts Calculus, Chem? Try upper level Lit courses! Sure, no single text book beats the science beasts you guys name, but try carrying two text books, three novels (two hard covers), two collections of short stories, and a binder filled with about 15 pounds of paper from the daily handouts. On days I had Lit class I had to leave all my other books in the car… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwpacker Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Useless Hero Facts As a side note, to bring this pointless thread back around to it's pointless original lack of point... *76* levels of Density Increase will make your perfectly normal sized guy weigh ever so slightly more than the entire Earth.

Doug Limmer Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Useless Hero Facts A mere 5 levels of Density Increase makes you denser than the densest material found on Earth. (The densest I could find, anyway.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobGreenwade Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Re: Useless Hero Facts Interesting thought. With sufficient MegaScale, a character could use his Stretching to reach to another planet and pull himself there. How long would that take? Two Phases?

ghost-angel Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Re: Useless Hero Facts That'll cause some whiplash... Interesting, it occurred to me that you could build a rather interesting Warp Gate effect with Stretching:Megascale. So I hopped into HeroDesigner and it wouldn't let me apply it because Stretching isn't considered a Movement Power, Affect an Area or a Ranged Power. Next I pulled out 5ER and read up on them both. Stretching is a Standard Body Effecting Self Only Power. And reading up on Megscale it doesn't have any of the qualifications that Advantage places as a requirement for use. It seems, that while Stretching involves a distance of some nature, it really isn't eligible for Megascale. Though it seems to me is could be a logical exception to the rule. . .

No, no he couldn't. **looks for a smilie of someone blowing their own brains out** The didn't call it 'Golden Age' because it was so great, but because the whole thing stank of ammonia.
