Engineering mathemagics

If we had control over the weak force:
- We can likely turn elements into other elements at will
- We can manufacture safe decay sources for a new class of nuclear energy
- We can probably create safe "decay batteries" tuned to their specific use cases. Batteries that last for tens of thousands the lifespan of current chemical ones.
- Potentially engineer with neutrinos. Imagine communication via neutrinos, you could transmit straight through the earth.
I mean, with control over matter like that, at the scale of electricity, Star Trek matter replicators would be a thing.

That diagram is just heat with extra steps.

Squint at this (from this wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_demons_in_the_Ars_Goetia) and these might be either ancient sigils or electronic symbols*.
EDIT: Fixed a typo
Okay, this is dying for me to learn Godot and make a game

Paraphrasing Arthur C. Clarke: Any technology is indistinguishable from magic, to the sufficiently ignorant.
Clarke's Maxim: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Corollary / Contrapositive: Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

That's what I was thinking. Depending on the supply that'll start a fire.

Doooo it!

We always joked it was black magic but its literally on the name.
I always thought that would be a good style for a dart board. Score would be -dB(return loss)

wrote on last edited by [email protected]That's not a resistor it's actually a BIG LOAD. The diagram would better show it as a reactive load (usually just a rectangle) since most real loads are reactive. Get it?

It's a basic AC rectifier, the resistor represents an arbitrary DC load. You use similar circuits all the time, though generally with additional failsafes and some mechanism of smoothing out the rectified current.

Like the way you think Dharms
I'm not sure if "Dharms" was a typo or a nickname, but that's the first time I've gotten that, and I genuinely like it. Like, what a great nickname. Love it.

That's what someone who doesn't understand magic would say.
Follow the spell incorrectly and that is indeed all you would get.

This one's a bit interestingly shaped...
Hang on. I've seen that tattoo!

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I mean, yea. The people designing the AC to DC power supplies often don't care what you use them for, why would they bother putting schematics for a real load on their diagram?

That's really cool. I figured it could obviously be done with fission, but I didn't think we could just strip protons out of a nucleus. Cool share

Yes, because if you take the power away it stops existing.
But if you turn it back on the conscious doesn't return. Electricity is the energy conscious runs on, but it's not consciousness.

For me, the weirdest thing is that when a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, it experiences a force perpendicular to the direction of motion; this results in the particle tracing out a curved path through the field. Like ... what the actual fuck? Why in hell would the universe be this way?
That's... huh...
Hey!!! Physicists!!! Can we get your input???
(Unless you're a physicist, in which case... fuck)

It's chemicals that make signals jump between neurons in your head. Electricity acts entirely withing single neurons.
Also, that's a control spell, not a summoning one.
I was really hoping someone would catch this. I'm glad someone else was also paying attention in biology

The trouble is that even the consciousness maintenance needs power. If the power is out for too long the infrastructure is too damaged. So it actually does return when you turn it off. It just has to be done quickly enough.
