Maybe, but she's looking good for being 80+

Does nobody answer their phones? So triggered right now.

3 Body Problem - Space is big. So, the aliens just had a fleet lying around ready? And they had not already found a destination to send it to? Bit sus.

That's a big gamble considering their immediate problem. I thought n body problems had been (sort of) solved via brute force iteration? You would think a species that had quantum tech would find it trivial via annealing.

They can have Mars, we aren't using it. Something for everybody.

So, Wallfacers are straight out of Granny Weatherwax's big book on how to stop an alien invasion. Love it. Don't think about the game.

I had thought the point of the wallfacers was to induce the San ti into thinking the were super important and that they never reveal what it is that they are doing. Which would be nothing. But the San ti don't know that. It should drive them wild, and suck up the attention of the sophons. This isn't the case?

PostNouveau posted:No, all the Wallfacers cook up elaborate plans that require huge investments of resources and eventually fail, some of them due to being revealed by the "Wallbreakers" assigned by the ETO whose jobs are to figure out what each Wallfacer is doing. Humpf I thought they were being clever. Disappointing.

That's a bit meta, sorry.

The space time curve is already there, though? I was under the impression it was the curve that determines the movement of the earth.

I find dynamical systems (and the associated chaos) fascinating. In the end only brute force iterative solutions come close to modelling n body. Without knowing all the interacting factors (which we dont) the best we can do is a best fit. Kind of like predicting the weather. The star system of the San-Ti would never have produced its own planets, so I guess their homeworld must have been a captured stellar wanderer?
