Re: I'll try -Long

In Response To: Re: I'll try -Long (Wado SG)

: 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.

Find them yes, but if they needed to spread the navigation data via black holes, what guarantee would they have that there is a black hole in any given area?

: 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.

But how would just blowing up the rocks cause them to contain navigation data? Navigation data as unique as Chinese calligraphy, as Cortana put it.

: 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.
