NationStates Jolt Archive

In NS, It is impossible for Earth to be the size it is in real life. I say this because there are many many nations (550,000+?) and if all of them were about the size of South Korea, the world would be completly overrun by nations that some countries will overlap others.

Just by making far out guesses...Colodian scientists say that the Earth is about the 30% the size of Neptune in order to happily accomodate 1 trillion people (along with the addition of about 7 large oceans). Yes, there is the problem of gravity...but then I guess we humans will be super strong beings if we ever come to a planet say...the REAL Earth?

According to Attican Scientists and sattelites, we got something differently...

By some miracle, the planet itself is probably in a triple star system, but two of the stars are by now dim, but still have gravity. Therefore, the earth itself is about 10x the size of Jupiter, and the only reason it does not collapse and become a star is because of the gravitational pull of the said stars. The Moon itself is about the size of 10 earths.

Now really...can anything survive in such gravity?

For the same reason the planet does not collapse, the gravity of the other stars impedes on the planets gravity, so by chance, the gravity is equal to 1 earth gravity.

My monitor is flat, hence the NS Earth is also flat.

So...if we take advantage of such powerful forces...and manage to get quite close to one of these stars...you'd think we can align a space ship just right to be propelled fast enough toward a target, but not sucumb to the star's gravity?

I think it all depends on where you believe your region is.

Also, the same forces that effect the planet would effect the ship. The planet itself has immense gravity, it is an odd interrelationship that ends up making it similar to the Sol system.

Ugh...ya know it? Let's just pretend that the Earth is normal sized and that there isnt a molecule of any ocean. And that people live in home composed of 10 families of 10. And International borders walls often are built over cats.

Manarthian scientists respond that it is all due to a paradimensional flux, allowing "multi-dimensional bubbles" to overlap the real earth.

This allows multiple regions and nations to occupy the same space, without actually being in the same space.

It also allows Manarth, a nation a little smaller than China, to exist in Lake Ontario.

Attican scientists beleive that all the theories may possibly be converged, and will begin writing a report why.

For clarification, it's just like looking at a bunch of transparent sheets in 2D.

If you look from streight above, they all appear to be in the same place, when in actuality they are all in different spots either up or down from the previous transparency.

Translated into 3D, nation A exists occupying the United States. Nation B also exists, occupying the United States. If you look at it in 3D, Nation A and B both occupy the same area. But in 4D, Nation B is occupying a far different "W" coordinate than A.

And if you're still confused, don't worry, I am too. :?

Your theory doesnt explain how Nation A could attack Nation B...

You are correct. That's the good thing about theories, they can change.

you guys mean like this?

Now that we have some,.... plausable theories established how will we go about say mapping this wonder of science?

Just curious since right now I have troops deployed in Kazakhstania and I would love to know where we are in world wide relation to each other.

OOC: WTF is that lol...

Empassioned: People have tried that, and have failed miserably... often committing suicide.

Most likely, the biologies of people on this "earth" are adapted only to seeing things in 3D. Therefore, nation A would percieve nation B as either part of them, (should they accidentaly shift into B's coordinate) or as being in a different place altogether. As such, they will take the 3D path that leads them most expediently to nation B should they attack them. That path may or may not involve water, or other countries, depending on where the bubbles converge in 3D.

Recall that this is only a theory at this time, math is cumbersome and annoying for Manarthians, and so is not presented.

and I was under the impression that the 4th dimension was time. So a nation does occupy the same space as the present day USA. English colonies, irquois and (in the south) aztecs.

Perhaps everyone has shrunk in size to about 0.1% of their original size?

interesting so if I as Aland came to the NS earth I'd rule like and iron fisted giant over the tiny ant like people,... with nukes,.... never mind I don't want b-2 blinding me.

I was working under the assumption that the 4th dimension was "space" but if it is time, than we'll call it the 5th dimension in future theories.
