"Your laws of physics are admittedly really weird but it looks like that direction's vacuum? Eventually?"

"I wouldn't know, I can't fly that high, but planets are big round rocks, right? A planet you put up in the sky would fall."

Permalink

"Gravity follows an inverse square law, even with the infinite-rock-plane thing you've got set up there's somewhere far enough away it'd be irrelevant - I think -"

Permalink

"...I wouldn't know but I'd expect a planet to fall."

Permalink

"Are your expectations really good at physics?"

Permalink

"No, but I think the physics that makes planets work is probably not the same here."

Permalink

"...I guess normally an infinite plane of rock would exert more than approximately-Earth-gravity amounts of force..."

Permalink

"I might go try it, seems interesting."

Permalink

"...dropping a rock on Fairyland?"

Permalink

"No, teleporting a hundred million lightyears into the vacuum from here and checking whether there's gravity pulling down."

"Oh."

"Want to come?"

"I really prefer to have air."

Permalink

"I can make air."

"You can teleport me without touching me?"

Permalink

"Yeah, easy."

Permalink

"Okay."

Now they are a hundred trillion lightyears vacuumwards of here. He makes air and then makes a spaceship. Is there gravity here?

Permalink

Yep. Down is that way.

...wow. Okay. "So, yes, you've got gravity. Gosh, this world is - sort of like Ardas but in a different way -"

Permalink

"Ardas?"

"The kind of world I'm from. The gods made it flat because they didn't know it was supposed to be round, they put up fake stars because they didn't have time to get the real ones to move properly relative to their fake planet - this world is like someone knew people were supposed to live on top of dirt and beneath air and that gravity was supposed to be a certain thing but they just - hard-coded those, instead of coming up with laws of physics that would let them arise naturally - and the languages -"

"You're very hung up on languages."

"Your translation magic is really really bizarre!!"
