Re: Nevermind

In Response To: Re: Nevermind (Louis Wu)


: More than not knowing how long GS's 'years' are (we do, actually, have it on
: decent authority that his years are about the same as ours), we have no
: clue when the simulations started. You're assuming there were no tests
: before the first actual firing - that seems like a foolish assumption.

: Given that we don't know anything at all about the age of the ring, we can't
: really say how often it fires based on the number of tests.

The rings probably don't predate the Flood crisis. I think that lasted about 300 years. See Terminal 3.

L: Are you insane? Would you risk every life in the galaxy for this transparently futile plan? Have you learned nothing in these last [300 years[?]]? The thing will laugh at your efforts!

They were probably not made the instant the Flood was detected.
