And in a eight-cubed map, when backing away from the center, I will approach the wall for a long time and then the center of the map will appear ahead of me , and I will be approaching it from the other side!
Infinite universe of finite size, but with a visible edge!
I can shoot rockets down into space and have them reappear far overhead. Interesting deathmatch possibilitys here.
Found an interesting effect in Quake while experimenting with Big maps.
I used Quake Army Knife to generate a 16386 unit long room, 8192 units wide.
Sky roof, black walls, tiled floor.
Running around in it, I found places where a fired rocket would 'bounce' off an invisible surface
without exploding.
The surface presented no barrier to movement, and I discovered myself standing in a corridor that bisected the map, and allowed me to look 'outside'.
Also, when a rocket was bounced off one of these walls, it actually twinned, and one rocket continued on the original course into the 'second universe' while the first rebounded. Both can explode, and apparently do damage.
I also found walls that were invisible, that exploded rockets.
Hmmm...
' In orthogonal countries, metaphorically cues have the hopeless ... '
'EVP' is the idea of capturing the voices of ghosts by recording static and carefully listening to it at high gain.
So could we consider the static background of porn gibberish that underlies any queries of the Internet as containing the messages of ghosts?
Or perhaps the ghosts of alternate Internets, linked via L-Space?
'Who defrays the mandible, because of what cause we execute?'
I need some sort of search engine that will crawl around the bottom of the databases, returning the text found. A sort of Mandelbrot zoomer for words.
This seems apropos: 'Research is unextractable in extreme...'

When ones system goes inexplicably down, its rather ominous to find the SYSTEM.INI file starting with this:
The file names and locations are material I was working on before I closed Firefox.
I'd hate to think that it was writing random gibberish to random files.

Hmmm...
Has anyone actually measured the speed of propagation of gravitation change?
Everything I've found so far seems to be basing it on the 'speed of light barrier' which smells to me like a assumption.
While detection of gravitational waves has proved problematic, measurement of local graviational fields is relatively simple. Has an experiment been done to measure 'rate of change' of local fields?
This may be limited by the responce time of gravimeters.
