i’ve written the following paper. what do you think of it?

    infinite energy would require an infinitely large spool to unwind.

    yeah i thought about that too, thanks for bringing it up! i forgot to write it in the paper

    the idea is to generate a matter-antimatter pair out of the energy that you generate with the generator, and then you turn the matter into new Mithril thread. This way, you can add new wire to the spool similar to how one would put additional chain links on a chain link chain (). You can even see the smithing sections, where the chain elements are smithed together to close them after attaching them to the chain. If you do this, you make the wire longer as you go.


    Connecting the two bodies imposes a constraint on them, disrupting the Hubble flow.

    I’m not sure if i understand this correctly. In an abstract sense, we’re already mechanically associated to very distant planets (and stars), in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Since electromagnetic radiation carries momentum, one could ask what’s the fundamental difference between electromagnetic radiation and a long wire? Both transport momentum. Why would one disrupt the Hubble law but the other one not? I don’t see a good reason for that.

      It’s important to distinguish between interaction and constraints. Electromagnetic radiation is a connection, in a sense, but it is not functioning as a constrain, I. E. it does not mechanically link the two bodies. While they do have an effect on each other, their interaction with spacetime is still separated.

      Hubble flow is only disrupted if two bodies in a system have a spatial constraint. Radiation does not provide such a constraint. Gravity can, under some circumstances, but it is not considered a rigid constraint in most cases.

      General relativity is weird, I know.

        Wire doesn’t actually provide a constraint either, we just tend to pretend it does when we’re sure it won’t break. At hypersonic speeds metal acts like a liquid, and at relativistic speeds matter particles do act like radiation.

        Zoom in enough and it’s all just waves. Presumably the mithril too, if it’s at all compatible with relativity.
