The Emperor didn't view technology that way, but he knew the dangers of unfettered technological advancement. Its even postulated that he purposely created the Ad Mech ahead of time as means of preserving technology from what he knew was going to be a hard crash and technological regression.

Technological advancement of humanity could be viewed as a graph reaching a massive dizzying height, then plunging down again. Then the Reunification happens and tech level rises steadily, then the Heresy and the following thousand years see a small drop, followed by a relatively flat curve that is increasing by an imperceptible amount over time. Because for every 10 steps forward they take 9.9 steps back.

Mankind far surpassed even the Eldar in terms of technology not involving psychic powers, and they weren't bad at that either.

Only the Necrons have better tech than mankind during the DAoT. The Tau don't even compare at all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/614264/7186142.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/614264/7186142.page GMT Re:2 questions about the Dark Age of Technology

nice....i just read that the STC, created during the Dark Age of Technology are so advanced then current imperium 40k tech that if they found just 1 complete STC it would revolutionize the imperium

dang thats impressive...

The Eldar Empire was defended by a legion of machines, much like the men of iron I suppose except that they were more powerful and did not rebel.
That they were so perfect led the eldar to not need to do anything to ensure their survival, which led to the decadent ways that gave birth to slanesh. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/614264/7191346.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/614264/7191346.page GMT 2 questions about the Dark Age of Technology http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/614264/7191353.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/614264/7191353.page GMT Re:2 questions about the Dark Age of Technology

That points to stagnation, not advancement, which would rather point to their defenders being incredibly weak.

Also, I'm fairly sure its inaccurate, but can't cite.

But Eldar war machines aren't the only reason DaoT man couldn't challenge Eldar. There was also Kaela Mensha fething Khaine. Not the relatively-laughable avatar that is but a sliver of his might, and still wrecks armies. The god himself.

And the rest of the pantheon. And no need for any of them to hold back their power down to Farseer levels. And their tech.

So the fact that DaoT man couldn't challenge them doesn't prove Eldar tech was superior.

I do think the 9 vs 11 vs 15 is the right scale.

DaoT tech might have shot black holes, but post-fall Eldar still have, without a manufacturing base, small arms that *literally* tear the Materium itself. They don't field them often, but that's because of what it does to the Materium (Iyanden does, but they're dicks). A much more advanced weapon than shooting black holes.

Seeing we do know what Eldar D Weapons do... no. They're not remotely close to or as impressive as black holes.

"Looping targeting arrays for weapons he had never imagined the Speranza possessing and others that he did not understand flashed up before the astrogation and engineering hubs. Azuramagelli and Saiixek backed away from their stations, confused and not a little frightened by this unknown power rising up around them. Stark against the red of the main display, the image of an alien starship resolved itself. It was smooth and graceful, its hull like a tapered gemstone and topped with a vast sail that billowed in the gravitational tempests. Its image flickered and danced as though attempting to conceal itself like a teasing courtesan, but whatever matrices were at work in the heart of the Speranza saw through its glamours with ease.
...
The flanks of the Speranza shuddered as a weapon system built into its superstructure ground upwards on heavy duty rails. A vast gun tube rose from the angled planes of the Ark Mechanicus like the great menhir of some tribal place of worship being lifted into place. Power readouts, the likes of which had rarely been seen in the Imperium since before the wars of Unity, bloomed within the weapon and a pair of circling tori described twisting arcs around the tapered end of the unveiled barrel. Elements of the technology that had gone into their construction would have been familiar to some of the more esoteric branches of black hole research and relativistic temporal arcana, but their assembled complexity would have baffled even the Fabricator General on Mars. Pulsing streams of purple-hued anti-matter and graviton pumps combined in unknowable ways in the heart of a reactor that drew its power from the dark matter that lurked in the spaces between the stars. It was a gun designed to crack open the stately leviathans of ancient void war, a starship killer that delivered the ultimate coup de grace. Without any command authority from the bridge of the Speranza, the weapon unleashed a silent pulse that covered the distance to the Starblade at the speed of light. But even that wasn’t fast enough to catch a ship as nimble as one built by the bonesingers of Biel-Tan and guided by the prescient sight of a farseer. The pulse of dark energy coalesced a hundred kilometres off the vessel’s stern and a miniature black hole exploded into life, dragging in everything within its reach with howling force. Stellar matter, light and gravity were crushed as they were drawn in and destroyed, and even the Starblade’s speed and manoeuvrability weren’t enough to save it completely as the secondary effect of the weapon’s deadly energies brushed over its solar sail. Chrono-weaponry shifted its target a nanosecond into the past, by which time the subatomic reactions within every molecule had shifted microscopically and forced identical neutrons into the same quantum space. Such a state of being was untenable on a fundamental level, and the resultant release of energy was catastrophic for the vast majority of objects hit by such a weapon. Though on the periphery of the streaming waves of chronometric energy, the Starblade’s solar mast detonated as though its internal structure had been threaded with explosive charges. The sail tore free of the ship, ghost images of its previous existence flickering as the psycho-conductive wraithbone screamed in its death throes. Blue flame geysered from the topside of the eldar vessel and the craft lurched away from the force of the blast. Its previously distorted and fragmentary outline became solid, and the circling captains of the Kotov Fleet wasted no time in loosing salvo after salvo of torpedoes at the newly revealed warship."

Sounds like a very primitive version of a Distort weapon. Or possibly similar to the Cobra's main gun.

The DaoT weapon here sounds like amazing uses of quantum mechanics and relativity. Distort weapons deals with manipulating the mechanics themselves.

Given that gravity effects time, that would just be the effect of the black hole itself.

The immense gravity around black holes causes time to move slower relative to the rest of the universe.

Eldar don't have real time travel in the traditional sense.

It's not done because after the fall it's incredibly dangerous and is a very good way to commit suicide and possibly even cock up the time-line. It serves as a giant glowing beacon for Slaanesh (like all psyker activity on the Eldar's part), and if you're important (like Eldrad) and you travel back in time.... and then Slaanesh consumes you. But because you either died on your way to or in the past... anything you would have done that was really-really-really important would have never happened. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/614264/7192814.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/614264/7192814.page GMT
