Re: I'll try -Long

In Response To: Re: I'll try -Long (Capo Rip) : There may be a couple of problems here: Halo does not directly kill Flood. : Also, to mind an outbreak implies Flood travelling from planet to planet : eating the sentient populations, most likely through slipspace. A pulse : laser as you've described, and any subsequent radiation released from a : the target black hole would travel only at the speed of light, taking : maybe 100s of 1000s of years to sterilise the galaxy. And by the time this : has happened the Flood could be everywhere. Not exactly, it would take time but the Unruh effect involves virtual particles and can affect things at faster than the speed of light. Don't ask me how it exactly works but basically these virtual particles exist everywhere in space and the Unruh effect involves these particles (and anti-particles). In the 1970's, Stephen Hawkings first talked about how the event horizon of a black hole could produce radiation (Hawking Radiation = Unruh Radiation) and in the 1980's Unruh did more on the subject. Now I could be way off, but I believe the radiation is said to be in warp space and as it travels it has a photonic heat bath that goes along with it. You can measure its acceleration by how hot the heat bath is. : Sure, any sentients left would : be wiped out, meaning no more food for Flood (unless intelligent life has : crawled its way back up on planets closer to the Halos) but what happened : to the Flood on Halo when they had no food? : They went dormant. This would mean planets everywhere would have sleeping : Flood on them, waiting for the native life to evolve. Yup, it is quite possible that the Flood lie dormant on planets. Why do you think the Covenant glass planets? : I think the only logical way for the firing of Halo to work is by a FTL, : perhaps instantaneous mechanism. So if the Flood do get spaceborne and : reach something's homeworld, its too late for dinner. : Oh, also, the thing about "local years" etc: If Source, Halo's sun, : is approximately the same as ours (it looks like it in the game) then : Threshold, Basis and Halo must be orbiting in the narrow Habitable Zone , : around 1 astronomical unit in radius. This would make local years pretty : similar to Earth years. I don't know, I'm not figuring on the local years being quite what we think it is. I just know that 100,000 years was supposed to be the age of Halo in an early dialog clip from a marine (it was taken out of the game), and we have 60,000 years + 40,000 years = 100,000 years if the rocks came from the black hole (in FoR) and we have 100,000 some years mentioned in Halo: The Flood. 100,000 years just keeps popping up, there has to be something important about that number or near that number.
