Hi guys! Newbie, thought I give my two cents about ur interesting conversation here.

It's very interesting about the true nature of Tieria huh? He's also the only with a scene where he's conversing with Veda......without words!
Of course my question would be, why would anyone need to converse with Veda inside a giant disco ball in the frist place. Can't CB crew text message him/her/it via a console in Ptolemaios??

As long as you add more thrusters with the more weight added, that won't be a problem.

The difficulty in changing one's velocity whether to get it moving or to start it is dependent on overcoming an objects inertia, and inertia is dependent on MASS. Adding more mass (commonly called weight) directly affects how much energy required to get an object moving, regardless of whether in space or in gravity. Hence, if a propulsion is a constant an object's speed/acceleration becomes dependent on its mass.
Weight is measurement of directional force; all it is saying is that an object already has a constant force acting on it, requiring an additional amount of force to move the object in conjunction with simply moving the mass. The only problem is that most people consider weight to be the norm and consider zero-g as a subtraction mathmatic in determining force requirements, rather than adding in compensation for gravity.
All of which is largely irrelevant, because the Avalanche Exia propulsion is GN, not conventional rocket. As long as the output can be increased, the presence/lack of rockets is irrelevant. It's not like any of the gundams have thrusters at the moment, after all.

well, I think a lot of people would agree when I say "you should stop applying logic and real physics to sci-fi shows". It won't add up. If you're more concern about how a big bulk could move so fast, I have a few more that will drive you up to the wall:
1. Like mentioned in Naoki Urasawa's 20th century boys, how in the world does a gigantic mass of metal could support itself in 2 legs mode?
2. Where's the fuel for GN drives? No fuel? only solar power? See any solar panel in the surface of the Gundams? no? the spheres are solar panels? Look up in google as in how much solar panel is required to power a city. That is why it is not applicable as the main source of power in real life. What's that? you say in the future they invent some sort of "magical" element where they could gather solar panel more efficiently? This is doubtful because nations on earth have to build gigantic orbital solar harvesting stations. Next, by the same logic, I could apply to the previous mentioned post about where inertia, where in the futre they invent elements that will nulify intertia thus bulk mass have no effect. This kinda goes on and on without reaching any conclusion because we're discussing something fiction in the first place

- Why exactly creating super soldiers is treated by the CBs as "inciing a war" but manifacturing tanks, missiles, mobile suits is totally fine? Gotta say their definition for inciting a war is quite loose. |
My tow favorite question
for the first one, I think the show is not only tryng to convey how naive Marina is, but also reminds viewer what a religious-fanatic Azadistan is. The oath itself is about as effective as the oath of truth in court of justice. You can swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, but witnesses that took the oath often lies to protect themselves and still for the foreseeable future people are ask to take the oath before taking the stand. t's more of a religious factor than for efficiency.
for the second question, the same reason building weapon of mass destruction can incite Bush to go to unnecessary war but left nations that produced weapons and tanks alone. Having weapons of that scale invokes fear that will lead to unnecessary confrontation. This question also reminds me of an old episode of the Simpson where people of earth actually achieve world peace only to have aliens invade earth with people having no ability to defend themselves
Also I think CB's quest for eradicating war doesn't include eradication of the 3 major factions at all. What they want is to stop war. My prediction is that the series will end with the destruction of CB with their mission "complete" in a way that not all wars eradicated but at least a smoother way is paved by their actions. That's what I think

I agree with Funkatron and Mangaka-chan, unless Allelujah actually had a way wherein he could block out all those kids screaming, he could pull the trigger wherein Hallelujah wouldn't appear and make him do even more sadistic things than necessary, and we have no idea if Allelujah was truly as gentle as he seems to believe that he is. True that the HRL scientist said that Hallelujah was borne out of the experiments that they made on Allelujah, but it doesn't mean that the Hallelujah personality couldn't be buried deep within Allelujah's psyche for that matter. Unless of course, it just appeared out of nowhere.
