To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors.
If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

This says all the OP needs to read....
This is the EvE canon regarding his question.....
If he doesn't like the EvE canon, it's time he move on to a more serious game with a much more believable fiction.. like WoW *sarc off*
In a nutshell, the gravity wells of the warp drives themselves that enable faster than light travel within systems are what cause the various physics anomalies noticed in the game.
This probably includes the limited distance of ordnance and the beams of energy weapons as well.... yes a big penalty for the ability of travel that is much faster than the normal speed of light.. but hey ... without these warp engines it would take 3 or more years to travel from one side of a system to the other. Fair trade in my opinion, I would hate EvE if it took me a year just to get from my agent to a mission destination. |

True, watched a special on Discovery Channel with that famous Asian physicist guy (sorry forgot his name) and he said that the big bang would've started as an infintesimally small point and expanded to the size of our solar system in a matter of millionths of a second...... that is way faster than the speed of light.... so eithor he is right or Einstein was right or they are both in a way right and that the speed of light itself can be changed....

Surely one of the biggest atrocities against relativistic physics in this game is the instant communication.
I can be in a station 10AU (80 light minutes) from an asteroid belt and get instant intel from the belt that there's three untanked Hulks there from a scout and assemble a fleet to obliterate them well before the message should have even travelled 1AU.
Of course this is needed for the game to be entertaining.

Yeah during the inflationary phase of the universe energy levels were so high that our present model of physics breaks down entirely. Otherwise, the entire universe would have been inside its Swartzchild radius and thus become a black hole immediately.

Well since warp engines change the physics of the area surrounding the ship, one would assume this includes the physics of solid matter as well. As such, I didn't have too much of a problem warping through planets... as I am sure you are actually warping through all kinds of other solid matter at the speed and directness that a warp tunnel delivers you. In real space a micro-meteor can destroy a space ship. It is still refreshing though, I am with you... as it never really felt like you were going through a planet... but through an illusion of a planet as that is exactly what it is.
My biggest thrill with this patch and the reason I came back to EvE after a three year hiatus is that rats in plexes now attack the ganker and not just the ganked. I always thought ganking someone at a plex in null sec was too damn easy and pandered to the ganker.
That has been fixed and it is good.... |

Of course this is needed for the game to be entertaining.
The backstory that (supposedly) covers this, is actually almost possible now.
Quantum entanglement is an idea that many people know of, but generally don't understand (like Schroedingers cat don't get me started).
Not only is it that the changes that happen to one of the pair is transferred inversely (a clockwise spin on one becomes an anti-clockwise spin on the other). It's been shown that this happens at distances so far from eachother, that the change could not have been communicated in a medium that's bounded by c.
Not only that, but there are estimates that this transfer could be anywhere as fast as 10,000 times c.
Of course, the problem we have is reading the entangled pair without destroying it and of course, easily inducing a change in the quantum state.
This is the real magic!
* c being the constant of the Speed of light.

The very fact that we can currently make these experiments and make these observations, means that it's possible in a physical sense, rather then any kind on-paper theory here.
I am not suggesting that we will all have fluid routers in the next few years.

We can perform the experiments, but even in principal you can't use entanglement to transfer information. Hence why I took issue with "possible in the near future". As far as we know, it won't be possible ever :(
Oh well, as has been rightly pointed out EVE doesn't have to be realistic as long as it's fun.

EVE is fun :)
But, regarding the other point - I know I'm being a pedant, but it depends what you define as being information?
After-all, the experiments prove that we know the state of one of the pairs ... and if we can't actually extract the specific (although i'd bet we'd just be saying that any of one rotation is 1, and any of the other is 0) we have the information that the pair was changed by effecting the first.
If we didn't know that, we wouldn't know that the experiments work!

You're right -- I should be more specific (I'm a massive pedant too!). Clearly QUANTUM information is transferred between the pair, but crucially CAUSAL classical information is never transferred faster than the speed of light.
The reason for this: Measure one particle's state and you gain some information, but until you know what the state of the other particle was measured to be your information is useless. The only way to find out what the state of the other particle was is to have the information about its state transmitted classically.. slower than light.
The tl;dr is as before, entanglement can't be used to send useful (causal) information faster than the speed of light (as far as our current understand goes).

To follow this idea them, what would stop them from using some kind of message pattern ?
If you think about TCP/IP packets, a header describes the message, but it's done in situ and, crucially, its done at the same speed as the packet.
In a quantum entangled system, perhaps you'd send a message specific to your pair that could be recognised in its own state or inverted; You'd then follow with a checksum that proves the polarity of the opposite pair, so if you get 01010101 you know that the other one is in a clockwise state, and 10101010 is anti-clockwise.
Holy ... did we just invent TCP/QP ? (Quantum protocol)

So what you are saying is that if I apply 1.21 gigawatts through my flux capacitor, normally I can travel thtough time (after hitting 80 mph of course!) But what if I apply 2.12 gigawatts through the same flux capacitor while travelling at half the speed of light AS IT EXIST IN A WARP TUNNEL DURING WARP?.............
I will ponder this vexing question for weeks now...
I know there is an answer somewhere! |
