@dredmorbius I took a look through the list and I'm pretty sure it's not Orlov. Dunno who it was, but they were talking about things leading up to a collapse, not after. :/

@dredmorbius Yeah thats what I'd heard. Doesn't sound very nice. :/

@dredmorbius Haha yeah, I'm only 24. XD

@dredmorbius It's Russia really miserable right now though? :/

@dredmorbius Hmm, I'm looking at Orlov and it seems like he's much more interested in talking about what comes after and during the collapse, then what leads up to it. :/

@dredmorbius That was way back, probably around 2010 or so? And I'll go through the list. XD

@dredmorbius I'm not very familiar with any of this, I'm just remembering something I saw way back in high school. XD

@dredmorbius Damnit, I can remember some snippets - "First they debase the currency" "The Soviet Union hid the books", "America cooks the books" "They see the end coming 25, 30 years off, so they start looting, and 25 years becomes 15, becomes 5, unti,l you;re collapsing immediately..."

@dredmorbius Aye, I've been lookin at him, but I don;t think so? I'm not sure. This guy here seems pretty close, maybe I was seeing someone reciting a bit from his book? :/

@Paragate @floatoverblow Haha yeah, fair enough. XD

@Paragate @floatoverblow Possibly. That's not something I wanted to have it do, but when you're gonna theorize about stuff that breaks physics... :/

@Paragate @floatoverblow Could it move slower than light or exist at all, without rewriting the entire universe? I dunno. I mean, it seems easy enough to suppose a that it doesn't apply gravity, but ignore the gravity of everything else? That is pretty weird. :/

Uuuuuugh. I remember a youtube video I saw forveer ago, with a young dude drawing parallels between the collapse of rome, the collapse of the soviet union, and the hypothetical collapse of America. I remember something he said was "Near the end, the elites see the collapse coming, so they start looting the country. 25 years becomes 20, becomes 15, becomes 5, until next thing you know, everything comes down." I really wish I could find that video again. Especially given the way things seem to be going. :/

@Paragate @floatoverblow Huh, alright. Is that according to newtonian physics, or Einsteinian? Einstein has Gravity as the curvature of space time, right? So by that rubric, it's hard to see how this stuff possibly could work. What does it mean to ignore the curvature of spacetime? :/

@floatoverblow @Paragate Hmm, gotcha. The stuff seems like it'd actually be more useful if it was only /somewhat/ resistant to gravity. Say, a 50% reduction instead of complete immunity. :/

@floatoverblow @Paragate So you could theoretically mix Iron and this stuff to get something that had less weight but still enough to stick around? :/

@kellycrow_ebooks Card okay with Humanity? :/

@Paragate @floatoverblow Haha right? Especially given that that question, realistically speaking, has no clear answer. :/

@floatoverblow @Paragate What if it bonds with Iron? Assume it has physical properties otherwise in line with Molybdenum. :/
