If the Planet Express ship moves by being stationary and moving the universe around it, what would happen if two Planet Express ships flew in opposite directions?
It's less that they're moving the whole universe and more an isolated bubble around the ship itself. Warp physics are wonky to think about but it comes together.
>>154610827well as stated they might well just stallbut it depends really whether the ship's engine violates causality and can move the ship outside of its light cone, which is a possibility with non-conventional locomotion (and a potential form of time travel, which we've seen the ship actually do)time travel is always a risk with ftl drives because you can potentially arrive at a place instantaneously, or certainly faster than light, from a different inertial framebut with this particular drive the problem is relatively simple: we know that it usually doesn't travel in time, so time can't be a dimension that it's intended to travel in during normal operation; and we know that it can likely operate during the operation of identically functioning engines, as we see that in the future of The Late Philip J Fryin answer to your original question, by moving the universe around it it's distorting space time in a way that's temporary and doesn't appear to have lasting consequences for things that aren't the ship, implying some kind of elasticity in time spaceit's like a self-flinging elastic band which transfers its energy into the universe to move, then recovers some or all of it so that the universe isn't permanently damaged, like in that one TNG episode everybody got like five minutes in and just kind of sat through until that alien chick died
>>154610827the planet express ship is part of the universe, so the ships push eachother apart at the same speed as everything else. from their perspectives, nothing changes. There's nothing externally perceptible about the function of the ship's engine that's different to any other spacecraft after all
>>154610827It would be especially impossible.
>>154610827Futurama physics make my brain hurt I'd rather talk about which crewmates make my penis hurt
Fry if he Real
>>154610827they'd pull apart the universe into two identical copies, with the only difference being (at first) that one of them has one ship and one has the other.
>>154610827Universe go boom
>TWO >TWO, THREE!
>>154610827It means a controlled field is literally moving them through space while creating 0 actual kinetic energy so relativity can go fuck itself
>>154612789>Pull apartBut for the ships to move forward, the universe must move backwards. So I believe that it will lead to a "big crunch" scenario than being pulled apart.
>>154612111The answer is AmyAmy is a dick drainer
>>154614800For me, it's the crushinator
>>154612111Bender probably, he'd bend your dick into a pretzel
>Big tits >Strong muscles >Dominant Would you consider Leela to be The Perfect Woman?
>>154610827It's impossible for both of them to move at the exact same moment so one simply moves first and then the other one moves next
>>154615227>simply It really isn't that simple, though..
>>154615201Yeah, pretty much.
>>154615227Being stuck in a universal que because your ship's drive is too mathematically complex is something I would expect out of the futurama universe.
>>154615516Glad we're in agreement, then.
>>154615201>>154615516>Liking a mutantGross.
>>154614750>>154614264>>154612789>>154615227>>154615858nope
>>154616927Making Futurama follow a sliding timeline was a mistake.
>>154610827Reminder to that the Planet Express ship isn't the only ship with dark matter engines.
>>154617143How old is Fry supposed to be now? Like fifty?
>>154617209Dark matter was all rendered inert in Bender's Big Game
>>154616927>3030I'm pretty sure this takes place after >>154618099
>>154617914>How old is Fry supposed to be now? Old enough
>>154610827The clitoris
>>154614695
>>154618805Leela is so freakin lucky...
>>154610827The Professor may have been making shit up
>>154610827They crash into each other.
Reminder that Futurama is ending FOR REAL this time...
>>154621728God, I can only hope.
>>154611527
>>154621784Seriously. Hulurama is an embarrassment.
>>154610827I'd fuck that ship.
>>154610827Can he defeat Arcadia or Yamato?
>>154610827I like to think that this was a reference to an Alcubierre Drive, but with a simplified explanation for the sake of brevity. And in that case it’s more like the ship is warping the space around itself. So the two ships wouldn’t interfere with each other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive
>>154623147And I forgot to add FPBP for >>154610833.
>>154610827Relativity tells us each ship would move the entire universe around it and see the othher as moving normally. Moving the universe around you is the same as moving through the universe, there is no absolute frame of reference
>>154623046duh
>>154622548I mean, so were the Comedy Central seasons. Meanwhile was okayish, but still a weak conclusion, and then Hulu came and found a way to be even worse.
>>154623162>Moving the universe around you is the same as moving through the universeBut the universe in the show is finite and has an actual edge. That implies that the ship could actually be shifting the univers's coordinates, I think.
>>154612111I have busted an embarrassing number of nuts to Nikisupostat's Futurama animations.
>>154623987no, there's only Universe A and Universe B on that set of dimensions, and the professor never said the ship moves Universe B so it only moves the one universe (the parallel universes that you reach through the parabox are in a set of dimensions only reachable through the box and so don't count)but a universe can't have positional coordinates because there's nothing outside of it for it to coordinate relative to, not even parallel universes can be used as reference points because they're separate and may or may not work on different physical principles, including physical dimension so shifting its "coordinates" even relative to Universe B can't be a thing even when the whole universe is moved, as long as its internal geometry, other than the position of the ship, isn't changed by the engines, the universe can do whatever the hell it wantsbut also the parabox itself, once it came to contain its own universe, could be moved around within itself (the universe) without issue - Hermes took it close to the sun, on the Planet Express Ship no less, and back to Earth again; it only responded to sudden shocks, not gentle movement or itself moving around itself (as must have happened for the Planet Express Ship's engines to have taken it anywhere)therefore shifting the universe's coordinates isn't relevant to the problem of moving the ship
>>154624258
>>154623046ok Bender
>>154623987Relativity has nothing to do with the size of the thing being moved. What it says is if thing a moves relative to thing b, it's exactly the same as thing b doing the inverse movement relative to thing a. By doing onr you're effectively doing the other. If you feel this is fucked up and counterintuitive, that's fair, it implies a whole bunch of weird physics stuff that has turned out to be true.
Jurassic Bark is overrated.
>>154623119yeah probably
>>154626308Of course it could. It works on cartoon logic, not anime logic
>>154625663Jurassic Bark was rated about right when it aired, its since then it became way overrated, to the point where now if its not in your top 5, some people will sperg out at you. It was good, wouldn't say its especially great.
>>154616927those are clearly modeled after the original ship but without the professor to work on them they work with a regular engine
>>154625663>>154626994Speaking of which, RIP Sam Neill
>>154627028a regular engine wouldn't look the same or fit in the same space
>>154615201I get hard thinking about how embarrassed and flustered Leela would get if her tits swelled in public.
>>154618805Oof... Fry's gonna make me cum in my pants...
>>154627794it doesnt have to? wereare you going with this?
>>154621728hahahaha, what are you talking about Anon? It ended in 2003. It's a shame it's run was relatively short but at least it had the decency to end before it wore itself out and stopped being good.
>>154610827That's the joke
>>154610827It would cause the galactic core to nova and destroy any hopes of fry getting ass from Lelia.
>>154628105look closer, lenny
>>154627866From pregnancy?
>>154630754No.
>>154625663If you ever had to leave a beloved animal behind you'd understand.
>>154632415from being milked like a cow every day?
>>154610833At a certain point we have to admit antichrists just make things up and use a confidence Gambit to convince you there right
>>154633225From Cosmic Rays** - Not actual cosmic radiation, but the same Cosmic Rays that made the Fantastic 4
>>154633989What about cosmic butter?
>>154627757>Sam NeillAwww fuck... :-(
>>154627866I like them the way they are/
>>154626994"Jurassic Bark" is basically one of those episodes of television everybody has watched and remembers for how it made them feel. The only other episode of TV that gets mentioned as often is The Office's "Scott's Tots". Both are very hard to sit through.
