The planet lies near the eastern border of the Segentum Solar.
However, is it possible? (Wouldn't the majority of the Imperium have suffered if the Tyranids striked this deep?)

This might help, it's a 40k star map, fairly up to date

That is so ridiculously awesome it's awesomeness pases on to you.
Thanks as well btw.

Happy to help

Yes it is, but that doesn't mean it's weak. Like comparing artillery shells to an exterminatus. So what it won't destroy planets, but it'll still kill people.

Sorry what are you talking about?

Lol I missed this page, I intended to post this after your earlier comment about gravity being relatively weak to the other forces.

I only realized there was a second page after my post was posted

Yeah it'll still destroy the ship but that's only 'cos sci-fi in general says it will.

A planet could be larger and have the same effective gravtational pull. Things not in contact or part of the planet would feel the pull but things in contact feel the gravity less due to centrifugal force.

Centripetal or centrifugal? I always get the two mixed up.

so like the skaters problem? Where people on the ice form a line and start spinning. Those on the outside face the strongest force, while those on the inside barely feel it

Im not sure, but i dont think there is gravity in the warp, so suddenly leaving an area with no up or down. Then all of a sudden you have a gravitational pull that is pulling on the ship, I would imagine there are failsafes on a ship that detect when you are to close to a mass of gravity, and that they would kick in suddenly as well.

No I agree, I don't think the warp has gravity.

But the warp itself could have a force of it's own.

I think you're onto something though, going from a place of no gravity to one with stronger gravity, could cause some problems.

Hey,

New question:
Is it possible for a regiment to play loud music when going into an attack. So when travalling to a destination the entire regiment sings warsongs and when going to war songs about ancient heroes and loyalty to the Emperor can be heard. The idea of an entire guard regiment going into a full scale attack while playing mozart appeals to me in a certain way.
The music would be coming from the vehicles, which have the bigger equipment and some soldiers carry smaller, handheld (?) radio's.
Or does this too much look like noise marines, Slaanesh stuff and heresy?
On the other hand: Does the Imperium have the technology to do this? (Sort of 40k version of a cd or somethign similar?)
If not possible, I think I will choose drums.
Your opinions please.

Plenty of regiments sing hymns or something when they go into battle (See Gaunts ghosts can't remember which book it is though)
I expect a fw of the more disorderly regiments play lud music to scare the freaking daylights out of any vaguely scarable enemy.

Completely plausible, as long as it pertains to war and their homeland...

Singing about lost love on a battlefield? Not something I'd recommend

The hits the fan and all hell brakes loose

One thing though, Mars might quite possibly be a necron tomb world, which the Tyranids tend to take very large detours around. Just saying . . .

True. but the pull of the Astronomican (sp?) is probably pretty damn strong

Actually gravity is one of the strongest forces so far discovered in the universe, it causes galaxies to orbit clusters and clusters to orbit superclusters, so we are actually affected by the gravitational pull of something a billion billion billion lightyears away. Still sounds weak -.-?

As far as i understand it-
Gravity doesn't stop. Even if it loses strength it still has a tiny minuscule effect.
Considering a magnet can hold a paperclip up even with the entirety of the earth pulling it down that means it is relatively weak when compared with other forces.
Although i may be wrong, physics isn't my thing, i do biology.

lets not debate further about this thing, this is more of a is it possible thread. anyways il say, every force has its own relativity, it can be both weak or strong depending on circumstances.

Well yeah...
Anyway most of the things asked here are possible.
Thread has been pretty comprehensivly covered.

Gravity is the weakest of the fundemental forces. I can drop a 1 gram piece if Iron on the floor, and use a 0.5 gram magnet from Poundland to pick it up.Thus a tiny magnet's elecromagnetic force is able to overcome the gravitational pull of an entire planet!! It has ther longest range, but that has to do with the mass of the Graviton..

If you can pull yourself along with the gravitational force of a black hole, you could go near the speed of light. It really just comes down to quantity really.

Was that in this tread? Oh..Sorry...Yes, matter near the event horizon moves pretty darn fast, and yes it's down to the mass of the Black Hole destorting Space time and producing a huge amount of gravity...That said, in theory you could have a billion tonnes of feathers, you just need a lot.

Physics eh??

I prefer biology...
Physics always messed with my head.

NO more gravity people!!!

Stay on topic!

Although the topic is done for the moment until the OP needs more questions too be answered

The only detour the Tyanids have made that's been noted is around one system that is suspected to be the Outsiders Dyson Sphere.

Just a small side note: But does anyone read the stories I posted and if so, what do you think of it?

How about Necrons?
I mean: They harvest souls for their gods, but what happens when they attack humans?
Humans are said to have weak souls and are of no use for food then?

Yeh but there are lots of humans. Get enough souls and you have enough... soul food...
