Mark726 Project Compass Holdings 221	Posted - 2016.06.08 02:08:44 - [1] - Quote Greetings to the Summit. Those of you who know me may know that I specialize in the various sights that can be viewed across known (and, to the extent we can access it, unknown) space. I try to keep tabs on certain sites of particular interest to me, including the object that brings me to the Summit today, the Violent Wormhole in Promised Land. For those of you who may not be familiar, with Violent Wormhole is a relic of Sansha Kuvakei's initial incursions into CONCORD space, when he was appeared to be directly controlling the fleets. Apparently using some sort of technology able to generate wormholes still unknown to us (though, based on further findings, speculated to be derived from Talocan technology), he was able to flee from the heart of CONCORD space, initially resting in the system of Promised Land, near the Eve Gate, before retreating entirely to his hidden base. Although the Yulai-Promised Land wormhole quickly collapsed, the Promised Land-home base wormhole survives to this day, although its gravitational sheer and exotic radiation means it would be deadly for any ship, probe, or capsuleer to pass through. Given my interest in where Sansha Kuvakei is hidden and where he obtained his wormhole technology, I've made a point of checking in on the Promised Land WH every so often (in fact probably more frequently than necessary). The wormhole in Promised Land has remained relatively unchanged for years. An increase in camera drone resolution allowed a better view through the wormhole's aperture, as you can see here and here, which surprisingly seemed to indicate that the wormhole's other aperture was somewhere in the region of Pure Blind, but after the discovery of epicenters with violent wormholes of their own that also appeared to terminate in Pure Blind (and a thorough search through Pure Blind with the help of interested capsuleers), however, I dismissed it as an odd visual artifact. Yesterday, however, I visited the Promised Land wormhole and noted a significant change. Although the view through the wormhole remained unchanged, the entire view from the other side has been shifted to the red end of the visible spectrum. A few images taken from my camera drones can be viewed here. Note that you can still make out the familiar contours of Cloud Ring, even if it's color has been red-shifted. On a hunch, I decided to investigate the other known example of violent wormholes found at Talocan epicenters in certain Anoikis systems. The most easily found example can be found in Thera. As can be seen in my image gallery, the violent wormholes in the Thera epicenter display a similar shift in coloration to the red end of the spectrum while maintaining the same view. I have little reason to doubt that other epicenters display similar changes. I'm at a loss to explain the change in coloration, or precisely what it means, but perhaps greater minds than mine may be able to determine the reason for the change. I look forward to any insights anyone may have. Author, EVE Travel Author, EVE Lore Survival Guide
Makoto Priano Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. Arataka Research Consortium 8401	Posted - 2016.06.08 02:15:08 - [2] - Quote Hello, Mark; Interesting report! I'll nudge some ARC pilots to investigate Drifter wormhole system wormholes. As for the coloration-- hm. Considering that most ship imagery is a capsule-mediated interpretation of camera drone feeds and sensor data, I suspect this indicates an improvement in the mediation system. For the longest time, it seemed our systems indicated all violent wormholes seemed to lead to an area near Pure Blind. Clearly, this demonstrates otherwise. Oh! Also! You'd expressed interest in a couple topics relating to the Fifth Seyllin Conference. Are you still interested in presenting?

Solu Terona Alexylva Paradox 87	Posted - 2016.06.08 04:12:41 - [3] - Quote Makoto Priano wrote: My working theory now is that in the absence of intelligible data from the wormholes, our visualization of violent wormholes defaulted arbitrarily to a known-space configuration. Recent firmware updates or improved data parsing may have been sufficient to make it clear that these violent wormholes do not lead to any known-space location, with subsequent revisualization of the data. So we may have a fairly stable link to yet another area of space millions of light years away. What i wouldn't give for drifter stabilization tech right now... For broken ships, a song. For broken hearts, a dance. For broken lives, a moment. For broken souls, let them mourn.

Mark726 Project Compass Holdings 226	Posted - 2016.06.08 13:56:44 - [10] - Quote My thanks to the quick reactions and investigations conducted on this odd phenomenon from all involved. Although your theory makes a certain amount of sense, Ms. Priano, I'm not sure it makes any particular sense for the visualization software to alter the color spectrum while still keeping easily recognizable stellar objects, but the ways of artificial intelligence are strange indeed, I suppose. I will continue to check in periodically with the Promised Land wormhole and will update any interested parties of any other changes. Incidentally, Ms. Priano, I am still verifying my schedule for the Seyllin Conference, but will let you know soon. Author, EVE Travel Author, EVE Lore Survival Guide

I'm not sure it can be that easily dismissed. Personally, I don't think it's odd that both the Promised Land wormhole and the wormholes in epicenters seem to lead to the same location. You may have made a thorought search through Pure Blind, but I asume you only searched locations reachable through the stargate network. And there is a looot of space inbetween those locations. As for the change in colouration...perhaps this is caused by doppler redshift? Possibly, the other aperture of the wormholes is moving? Then again, if you looked at the wormholes from another angle, you would have to see blueshift, right? So I guess this is not the reason for the colour change. Maybe gravitational redshift resulting from gravitational time dilation? Frame-dragging effect? It's not really my field of expertise, so someone will probably come along to tell me how ridiculous my suggestions are.

Sinjin Mokk Pandemic Horde Inc. Pandemic Horde 929	Posted - 2016.06.09 00:56:05 - [13] - Quote Hello Mark, Excellent work. I'll have to disagree with Ms. Priano's hunch that this is the result of "an improvement in the mediation system" in regards to our optical interface. We're still using the same equipment, and in viewing any other celestial object, we're "seeing" things with the same degree of accuracy as before. Ergo, the change is within the violent wormholes. As Mr. Biko suggested, this could be a matter of "redshift." Redshift occurs when light or other electromagnetic radiation from an object is increased in wavelength, or shifted to the red end of the spectrum. Basically, whenever a light source moves away from an observer. This could indicate a lengthening (an oversimplification) of the distance from our side of the wormholes to the other. This could theoretically happen if the "exit" system were in a Coreward position relative to our own in the galaxy. In short, the exit is closer to galactic center than we are, and is now moving away from our position at a greater rate of speed. However, this could be a case of relativistic optical effect, separate from the underlying Lorentz contraction which is the same for an object moving toward an observer or away. Or, we're Coreward and the exit location is Spinward. Aberration of light (also referred to as astronomical aberration or stellar aberration) is an astronomical phenomenon which produces an apparent motion of celestial objects about their locations dependent on the velocity of the observer. I don't think this is the case, however. We haven't noticed any appreciable redshift or blueshift in relation to wormholes leading to J -Space or Thera, which would indicate that they are "close" to us in relation to other points in the galaxy. We're in the same "neighborhood." While we have much to learn about wormhole generation, I think it might be safe to say that it would require a great deal more energy to produce a wormhole that could lead outside the "short" ranges we've seen (Ever notice how a Titan can only "jump" within a certain number of nearby star systems? Same thing.). So the exit systems would have to be in the same range to us as is Thera or J-Space. There is, of course, the possibility that these wormholes could lead different facets of the "multiverse," but let's not get too exotic.Nine times out of ten, the simpler answer is the most likely. I think it's more likely that the "exit" system has been changed. There are many systems in K-Space and J-Space that have Red Giant stars. While it would be tedious to try and examine each of them, it seems to me that we're looking through the same distortion, but at a different destination. If it's not Cloud Ring, then where? I'm not going to begin to guess why or how the exit system has changed. I'm not going to indulge Ms. Valate's "Blood Age" fantasy. But until we know more, this should be a cause for continued study, if not concern. There's still too much we don't know to begin to construct an actual hypothesis. Right now, we need data. If there's anything I can do to assist in collecting data, please let me know. "Angels live, they never die, Apart from us, behind the sky.

Mark726 Project Compass Holdings 228	Posted - 2016.06.09 03:25:25 - [14] - Quote And as quickly as the odd coloring arrived, it was gone. As a follow up to my investigations last night, I returned to Promised Land just a few minutes ago and discovered that the apparent red coloration had vanished, as you can see here. I quickly rushed back to Thera and, in fact, the coloration had disappeared from those violent wormholes as well. As you can see, Cloud Ring is back in its prominent and visible place through the aperture of the wormhole. The return to apparently normality leads me to think that it was some errant software update in the visualization software or the like. A smaller, but still valid, possibility is that whatever adjustments that the violent wormholes were undergoing have been completed within just a few days (which could lend credence to Che Biko's and Sinjin Mokk's various ideas on the subject). I suppose that until we find a way through the wormholes, we will not know either way. I sincerely appreciate the various efforts and theories from those involved, and I will continue to monitor the situation and will report on any further abnormalities.

Jack Jomar The Scope Gallente Federation 35	Posted - 2016.06.10 09:07:31 - [22] - Quote And here I was getting excited. On the one hand, a software glitch seems reasonable. However, too many strange and, as yet, ill-understood events have occurred in relation to the wormholes since Seyllin. A stellar explosion, or some similar phenomenon (what happened to the drifter gates in their hive systems?) may be a possibility, but that then begs the question "what caused it?". If we assume it to be more than a mere software glitch, then we have to ask if it is related to the drifters, sleepers, both, or somehow related to the shattered systems. My Wordpress Blog
