Re: I'll try -Long

In Response To: Re: I'll try -Long (Simpsons Rule)

: Somehow it'll all fit together...somehow. I'm glad there are people on this
: forum who can make sense out of stuff like this. One question though. If
: I'm understanding this correctly, the Forerunners sent those rocks with
: directions on purpose. If they chose a black hole to send that information
: (for whatever reason they sent it) how would they know where the black
: hole leads? Also, if they wanted to spread the information to other
: places, how would they know if there was a black hole there to use and
: where the other side of that black hole was?

The Forerunners would know where significantly large black holes exist. We have ways of finding them today and it is clear that the UNSC had the technology to do so forty years before the Fall of Reach. Anyway, no problem for the Forerunners to find a large black hole.

Perhaps Halo has a pulse-laser for transmitting messages, but to make one so powerful that it blows up rocks and backscatters them everywhere at near the speed of light. That isn't a transmission pulse, that's a weapon.

I guess the anology would be to take a microwave satelite dish and over charge it until it could fry frozen food at a distance.

The more I think of it, the more I think the Forerunners had a macabre sense of humor. So the signal that struck the black hole had the navigation symbols that tell of Halo's location. It's like a signature, "hey, this is who killed you guys."

Good thing the Sarge didn't end up the reclaimer and firing Halo, perhaps the next civilization might find out that a signal of old rock & roll music ended life in this galaxy...lol.

: For example, say they wanted
: to spread those rocks in our solar system, how would they know if there
: was a black hole here? Even if there was a black hole here, how would they
: know where the other side was? Is it possible the Forerunners created
: black holes to suit their needs?
