  • Marc St. Jean (Wayne State)[1]
gollark: Well, yes, but not your claims that:- ☭ is extremely high energy but the energy is distributed amongst all ☭ instances- *somehow* apiochronoformic manipulation used to deploy age-specific cognitohazards would cause them all to teleport into each other
gollark: This whole ☭ annihilation mechanism just seems ridiculous.
gollark: No, the ☭-¬☭ annihilation causing such a scenario was implausible, not apiochronoformics.
gollark: Anything THAT overpowered would have been patched out ages ago.
gollark: This seems implausible. Not only would this violate causality and many other things, there's no plausible mechanism for how this works, and GTech™ testing *frequently* appeared to cause ☭-¬☭ pair production and annihilation which did not destroy the universe.
