For what it's worth, that's a pretty common brand of AR glasses. I owned a similar pair ages ago. But time travel into the past is physically impossible so my guess is it's someone else using this service to mess with you.

Neither are you. :)

I could tell you but it would be kind of a lot to absorb all at once. Sufficed to say you weren't far from the mark. Although as a result of my meddling here, I know some of you have emailed key CNPA figures, and it's no longer certain when the war will occur or if there will be one at all.

It'll be interesting to see if it really changes or if events are just pushed back.

>>If not, I see no other way around than a civil war

Funny you should say that.

>>Anything new and exciting happening in the future?

Confirmed illegal use of weaponized voider technology against the Remnant army's networks of underground bunkers. Finally free to talk about it now that it's all over the news. This morally complicates the war in ways even a lot of hardliners are uncomfortable with. I'm ambivalent.

>>I believe mastering an almost self sufficient city of people contained within a single structure will also be the key to serious space exploration.

Bingo. One of the unforeseen benefits of the hab construction boom. Not bad for what originally began as an effort to convert shopping malls, airports and office towers into refugee housing following the war.

>>Too bad it seems damn near impossible to achieve.

You're a lot closer than you think. By 2011, most of the goods in your home would have never been touched by human hands during the production process.

To OP: It's not as different as you might be thinking. People work, but for different reasons. And the epidemic of lazy fatasses does eventually plateau. Status and extra income motivates enough of the population to work that the invalids don't break the system.

Not at all. Those opposed to such a world segregated themselves voluntarily. But as it warmed up and the atmosphere turned to shit, some of them changed their minds and wanted back in.

The official stance is that we welcome their re-integration with open arms. But the increasingly elaborate defensive perimeters around even the smallest habs suggest otherwise.

Most like the society we've been able to build without their resistance and don't want them back. I feel for them, on some level. But the terrorist attacks don't help their case.

I live in that world. You might not like what it takes to get there.

It's better, but not perfect.

When put to the test, the prediction regarding reduced influence of gravity while the device was active was vindicated bu the effect proved too weak to be useful for anything.

The prediction that an intense enough field could push objects up and out of normal space into some other dimension where the speed of light is higher was vindicated, but the laws pf physics there appear to differ in other, less desirable ways. The only vessel with a heim drive ever built vanished for a split second then reappeared as a tremendously powerful explosion of heat, light, radiation and subatomic particles, suggesting the bulk of the mass was annihilated in the brief moment it spent outside of normal space, and the matter not annihilated had its strong force negated.

It isn't a 'warp drive', but it is a fantastic weapon. One we're not supposed to be actively developing, but it's an open secret that VB is working on refining it anyway, and there are widespread rumors of its use against the remnants' subterranean bunkers.

Just glad Heim wasn't alive to see it weaponized, Einstein was never that lucky.

Precisely, which is why artificial limbs are deliberately made no stronger than natural ones. That, and to deter elective "upgrades".

Yes you will, provided you survive the civil war. Assuming that still happens.

And the muscles are woven from electroractive polymer gel printed into hair-thin fibers. Most people actually prefer replacements grown from their own tissue. You might find that dull, but artificial limbs are no stronger than natural ones and the sensation they deliver is distractingly different.

Just saying, it takes forever. And it looks more like a vertical train than an elevator. It's basically a mini space station on a rail, complete with small private sleeping quarters (like narrow cubbies you can recline in, with a decent panel at eye level with preloaded movies and games) for 14 and a communal bathroom, vendor, etc.

The practical realities of tether travel are a lot more involved than what people imagined up through the 20's until the project was pursued seriously and the public was given a clearer sense of what to expect in documentaries, interviews, etc.

If you think air travel is miserable (and reportedly it was) tether travel is worse. More cramped, more boring, and very little in the way of privacy. In the cubbies you can't see anyone but you can hear/smell them, and there's not enough in the way of preloaded entertainment to keep you distracted for the entire trip. :I

>>3223691

Actually my last trip up the tether took several weeks. Something to do with preventing vibrations?

Surprisingly prophetic. I assume you've given up on flying cars by now.

>>The last bastion for Faster-than-light travel is Heim Theory.

Yeah, you might not want to fuck around with that.

We sent information, not people. And it wasn't on purpose. We were told it wouldn't have any effect.

The jury's still out on that. You've already deviated from recorded history, but nothing seems to have changed for us. That's inconsistent with what we now know about how time works, yet here we are. Obviously we don't have all the information.

>>3208449
Wait, you don't know me? If this is a diff. timeline than the one I've been posting in, I'd rather not fuck things up by sharing too much again.

Very very shitty for a short while, and then dramatically better after that.

You ain't seen nothin yet.

I get such a kick out of posts like these.
