Imagine it like space is a sheet of material and objects are resting on it, thereby pulling the material down and making other objects fall towards them. the bigger the object the bigger dent it makes and the more it attracts.Lullabye said:
Although it's far more complicated than that. Yeah we really don't know why objects attract - possibly due to the Graviton, a hypothesised particle.
Or maybe because of onions
As explained in the Hobbit, the eagles are picky about where they can and cannot fly. Some areas they get hunted.. so yeah um.. Yeah it woulda been easier..opportunemoment said:

him claiming it does the kessel run in 12 parsecs does denotes speed and power.RatRace123 said:
the kessel run is defined as any route between kessel and formos, commonly used by smugglers and privateers. it is not a popular trade route because it is rife with gravitational anyomolies and hazardious obsticals.
the average ship is described as taking 18 parsecs as any closer and the ship would be drawn in by a gravitational well or the like and be lost. however if the ship is capable of going faster then normal it is then capable of navigating closer to these wells more safely as it would then be capable of escaping the pull of said wells more reliably, in turn having a shorter 'run' than normal.
so to state that it is capable of doing the kessel run in less than 12 parsecs DOES speak of the vessels speed.
a light saber uses a series of crystals to focus light on a point to generate plasma gas. this plasma gas is then contained with in a magenetic field. as the magnetic field intersects with something, the plasma gas colides with what ever object is in the way and in turn instantly incinerating it. the depth of the wound is entirely dependent on the length of exposure to the gas.atalanta said:
this is why quick slashes often create only surface wounds which don't go very deep while slower strokes part things in twain.
It has never been officially stated, but since it has been published this way by a few authors it is generally accepted.stabnex said:

Well my logic says that if you can build one, you can build two. DUHHHHHZ.
Huh, and here I thought that The Escapist forums users would generally be MORE mature than GameFAQs. I guess I got unlucky here.la-le-lu-li-lo said:
Anywho, in order to counteract your illogical logic, I will say that my question clearly states that you have a single time machine. A second one was not introduced or even mentioned, hence it does not exist, and if it did, it would take another fifty years to build.
Seeing as you said to create two time machines, and the first one took fifty years, the second one would also take another fifty years, by then the inventor would be long dead. Also, take into account the fact that the creator is not going back in time until after your second time machine has been built.
Your scenario is not possible in my stated question, thus it remains impossible.
Or perhaps I'm thinking far too much into this at five in the morning.
You certainly might have been thinking too far into it... I was certainly kidding, and I apologize for being ridiculous and not taking your question seriously. /:ThePostalGamer said:
I won't disagree with you on that first part. No need to apologize for not taking it seriously, it wasn't meant to be in the first place. As a matter of fact, I don't think this topic was supposed to have anything in it taken seriously anyway. :^P
I should be the one apologizing about my first sentence in that post, I went a bit overboard there. I won't make the "five-in-the-morning" excuse here, that was just out of line.
(If you're wondering why it took me so long to reply, it's because my internet was recently upgraded and my modem seems to be unable to handle it, which led to it not being able to connect for more than a minute per day.)

Upon considering that, I figured it meant that the Falcon was powerful enough a ship to compress the space between the points of the Kessel Run to 12 parsecs.RatRace123 said:
