Dr Christmas posted:If they're simulating an entire universe, wouldn't there still be billions of years worth of starlight still heading to Earth? Pretty shoddy worksmanship IMO. The probability sphere contracts around Lynton. If he dies here it's possible the rest of the world has already ceased to exist.

pathetic little tramp posted:Yeah I think we're in reality, not a simulation - what the thread got right was that people do use the sceptre to try to tell the future, but I think there's something else that we're not guessing that explains the vanishing stars that just happens to be an event that is going to happen no matter what the sceptre says. This is absolutely a simulation. It's the most parsimonious explanation for the timeskip, the stars vanishing being a thing, Lyndon being the most important guy in the Universe etc. etc.

Bobulus posted:I think we're all on the same page. The only remaining question is: Did they have a plan based around keeping Lindon alive (as in: using him to pass back info), or were they keeping him alive (and as healthy as possible) only to prolong their own simulated lives? Feels like the latter, to me. Also the star thing could easily be the lightcone for the universe contracting towards whoever touched the scepter as they approach the moment of death. The little dude didn't know when the stars would go out, just that they would. As for that changing the outcome, that's the entire point of the scepter. I feel like the stars vanishing combined with the year long time skips should prove that the stars are connected to the scepter rather than some outside event.

Sure, but right now Lyndon is the person who will get the data, throwing him off as much as possible is extremely useful.

Cat Mattress posted:Approximately 140 millions times less far away than 2157 light-days. That was my point. The sun being simulated tells you basically nothing because it's ~8 minutes away in terms of the light from it. I was just trying to make them do a search because I'm a monster.

The thing that I love about the scepter is how inaccurate it is. It can really only help you avoid an immediate death. There's no indication of time, so you don't know you've flashed years into the future unless you look extremely different.

Betrayed by my phone. Anyway the scepter is a very cool conceit and I'm interested to see how Lyndon relays all the information back to himself/if gets to.

Simulated people are as real as non-simulated people and anyone who suggests otherwise is just itching for an excuse to commit atrocities.

Making sure things are as weird as possible around Lyndon when/if he dies, and the one spouting nonsense will help with that, seems to be the plan.

uvar posted:I went back and checked and Lyndon does call it a simulation, but still - I feel like focusing on that term is missing the point because it implies it's inferior. As far as we can tell it's a perfect copy of a sphere around the local solar system, and it's not the original but it's basically just as valid, and the Ambassador reasonably wants it to continue in the same way that I would want to prevent somebody ending the existence of me and everything else if I knew they could and might actually do it. Turns out murder is an effective way to solve the problem and if the entities who make the simulations keep getting useless results maybe they'll stop being assholes and making doomed simulations.

Audrey continues to be the best. A concise summation of the situation followed by murder. 8 months real-time spent on this nonsense, it's incredibly Thorsby.
