Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator. Generates electricity from the heat given off by radioactive decay of isotopes (typically plutonium 238). Useful for "relatively" long spacecraft missions to deep space where solar arrays are not efficient. And definitely agree, the last few what-ifs ...

Love this what-if. Currently using one of the aforementioned hypervelocity light gas guns to test some data cables for the ISS. And I can verify that a hockey puck would definitely not fit in any of the guns though haha.

Prominent Big BONG researchers have theorized that most of the known universe of comprised of Dark Time and Dark Sand^{[citation needed]}

Hopefully we reach at least 500 frames so we can be true Time Connoisseurs.

Srt252

She was just at the water a couple of frames ago, so I sincerely doubt that is "the river". Randall has certainly stirred the pot though.

Srt252

I love that even over 300 frames later people are still analyzing each one in depth. This is my favorite forum thread ever, despite the amount of my life it has consumed.

WHEN WILL TIME END?!

I am a proponent of loop theory, think it's the best way to go. This might also be the first evidence against erosion theory, although I think I would have preferred that.

W-O-R-D. W-O-R-D. Working for me. Forum Zul-Gurub be great to lighten the mood for random common words and mask naughty words. When it affects legitimate conversation, it detracts from the forum. This be SUPPOSED to be a small sequence of programmed instructions about a specific comic and it be los...

So I tried perusing earlier posts to find out, but what exactly are the mods doing? What is this reckoning? I is confuzzled

Srt252

20 new pages gah. Might have to stop trying to stay caught up with this thread. 5200 is too many posts haha

THEORY: This is a comic set in XKCD-verse, wherein tides may not exist. And physics happens as Randall sees fit

Srt252

He's gonna fall and knock it down again! Don't do it! DON'T DO IT!

Do you think that if anyone started reading the thread all the way through right now, if the posting count continued as it is, would that hypothetical person be able to reach the end? Ever? Sounds like a candidate for the next What-If? haha I think it's doable. I mean, we've been able to catch up s...

So perhaps whilst they are swimming the castle erodes away entirely? Hmmm

Srt252

Keep thinking they're swimming in a lake of coffee surrounded by snow if that's what you want, but I promise you that you are wrong. Wait for it, and you'll see. To be fair, Randall's in Boston, so that is a completely plossible scenario. I've got More Than a Feeling that might be possible. Yeah. A...

Gotta keep posting the new frames!

It's kind of crazy how involved we are in the frame by frame analysis of a little 0.000556 fps sandcastle construction comic series... and yet somehow I just can't stop.

Srt252

ANOTHER TEXT FRAME GASP! Perhaps we are entering the "Swim Period"!!

Srt252

0.033NP until the possible start of a new TIME PERIOD! GASP

Srt252

This is another very suspenseful interpix. An new period may be dawning! Or the entire thing could be ending!

Does this possibly signify completion? Are they going to just stare out over the ocean now? I forsee that he'll join her, they'll sit for a few frames, and then either leave off the left side or just keep sitting there. But I hope they keep building :mrgreen: Orrr he trips over Sandcastle Prime and...

Gosh, you all bloody love 103 don't you? Well, I have something to tell you!! Just because it contains the most 'action' does NOT make it the best frame. I think in terms of narrative and suspense 126 was by far superior. The not knowing, the questioning, the confusion. The laughter (brought on by ...

Jeez keeping up with every post on this thread is getting to be a challenge.

This does not answer the question I was trying to find out earlier in the week. What will be Voyager's path through the galaxy? What star will it first approach, what will be the velocity of that star compared to voyager, etc. I spent all day on monday trying to find information like this out, and ...
