Yaay!

And in that well-deserved break from Not-Really-National-Write-A-Damned-Report-Day, I've finally, fiiiinally, written that thingy for shaysdays. My life is now complete, and I could unexist happily. Well, not exactly happily, but less sad about it.

(Except that goblinpaladin wouldn't ever find out about the dragons. Hmm.)

It's been... too long. It's been nineteen completely different drafts of twenty different stories, none of which are ever, ever, to see the light of day. There is a reason why I do not write sex, and that reason is that I just can't, not without fits of laughter at how monumentally horrific it is. And now, it's over, and it's. Something. I want it to be better, but I also want it to be finished, and I've made my choice on that score.

And it's full of handwaved impossible science, of course. Superluminal time dilation = brain go byebye. For that matter, subluminal time dilation = brain go byebye.

(Bwee! Done!)

Oooh... superluminal time dilation would be very cool indeed. Shame I just did a whole subject dedicated to general relativity and why that's impossible, lol. Sounds like a fun thing to write about, though, minus the pain of trying to actually get things written.

Oh, yes. Yes indeed. I knew going in that all things superluminal are impossible. If I were to write more about their 'verse, there'd likely be a scene of:

"Isn't that impossible?"
"Yes."
"And yet..."
"Yes."
"So..."
"I try not to think about it."

I can very much visualise a conversation like that.

On the other hand, one could always posit the use of extra dimensions as a convenient explanatory device.

"How did we do that?"
"Oh, we just phased slightly into a different spatial dimension. Changed the value of c, no biggie."
"...right."

Possibly through a side-effect of Heisenberg Uncertainty in systems with high degrees of relativistic length contraction. Or, alternatively, some kind of quantum trickery that makes vacuum seem more vacuous, with similar effects on c.
