Not mine, but still cool. A concept for a fifth race.

As most of you know, Iâve been running around the galaxy in my blue, four ball hauler for a while now. Iâve always said it would take a special ship to replace it, (an S-Class 48 slot at the very least⌠Plus it will need that special something)
Iâve seen a couple of nice ones that are contenders, and I have 126m to spend but Iâm also thinking of saving my cash until the update drops in case of some amazing thing they release.
So, should I secure my dream hauler or wait it out?

Man⌠difficult to say, especially at the dawn of a new release.
120M is really a good amount of units, so think about it well before spending anything!

Just a thought. This is my main ship in my #2 normal mode game.
I found it as a crashed ship. The ship I swapped it for cost me 500,000. I think it cost me around 60 million to repair all the slots.
These are the other ships in my freighter. Theyâre all Class A 48 slot haulers, all of them found as crashed ships.
Why spend money when you donât have to?

Thatâs not a bad shout, sure I can get some coords/glyphs of crashed S-Class Haulers somewhere I can exchange for a dirt cheap shuttle.
Cheers!

I know this forum probably isnât the best place to ask this, but asking real people (assuming most of the people on here arenât Atlas Foundation bots) is always better than google.
If I had a pair of entangled hydrogen (protium) atoms, and I added a neutron the one of them. How would the other react? Would it also become deuterium? or would the pair simply reject the neutron.
p.s.
- I know that referring to âoneâ of them is incorrect, being that the âtwoâ of them are basically the same object.
- I do not know how one would be able to add a neutron to an atom. If it is very difficult, just assume it is easy, and proceed with the question.

Nice to think you could magic another neutron out of nowhere.
AFAIK, entanglement ceases the instant the pair interact with their environment. To the point that even observing them will do it. I imagine introducing a neutron certainly would.
Iâm not even sure you can have entangled atoms. Iâve only seen it reliably reported in sub-atomic particles.

Thanks for the response. I just thought that if this was possible, it would be possible to have instant communication to anywhere in the universe, as well as the ability to transport energy to anywhere instantly.
I hate how physics always shuts down my cool ideas.

I donât believe thatâs true, as it creates a paradox. If entanglement ceased at the moment of measurement, there would be no way to prove that the the particles are acting the same way. However, the particles do exist in a superstate, and do change when observed.
I see two possible outcomes. Either itâs impossible, as you canât change the state of one hydrogen atom without changing the other. Or, the neutron you chose to insert into the entangled hydrogen was also entangled to another neutron, and the effect would be seen in both atoms.

There are people studying the use of entangled pairs for instantaneous communication. Theyâre just not trying to make one of them into deuterium to do it.
I saw one report a while ago, where a team managed to maintain entanglement up to about a metre away. There was another where people were trying to shoot one of an entangled pair into space - but I never really heard the outcome of that one.
Itâs definitely an active field of research.

@Xion4012 Just to clarify, do you mean that the neutron would be entangled with another neutron, OUTSIDE the nucleus of the other hydrogen atom, and the second hydrogen would just react like deuterium, just without the neutron.
Or do you mean that another neutron would appear in the other hydrogen atom, from âemptyâ space, to compensate for the first hydrogenâs âexcessâ neutron.
3 Likes
The latter. Although the second neutron wouldnât necessarily need to appear from âemptyâ space (just popping into existence for no reason?). It could just be in the area of the second hydrogen, part of an entangled system.
I should point out, Iâm not a physicist.

Empty space is filled with an infinite amount of paired, virtual particles. In some rare cases (such as the event horizon of a black hole), one of these particles will be sucked in, allowing the other one to escape into outer space. Although I do not believe the particles making up a vacuum are neutrons, it doesnât seem to far outside the realm of possibility that one would appear to compensate for any discrepancies in the universe caused by quantum entanglement. Just a warning, I to, am not a physicist. It is also 10:30 where I am and Iâm barely holding on to consciousness, so please take whatever I say with a pinch of salt.
Thanks for the clarification. Discussing quantum physics is always a tricky topic, in person, and even more so while typing.

I need some technical advice. Whenever I try to type an apostrophe, I type an Ă or an è, or an ĂŠ, Ă. It is distracting and an inconvenience. Help.

Hawking Radiation. It occurs when a matter/anti-matter pair is separated by the event horizon of a black hole. One particle is absorbed, one is emitted as radiation. But those are subatomic particles, not entire neutrons.
Edit: Neutrons are subatomic particles⌠

Type a space after typing any diacritic to prevent it being added to a character that can have one. Alternatively change your keyboard layout. For example, if you have âUS Internationalâ on Windows, it works that way. Changing it to just âUSâ will no longer automatically try to add diacritics. Sometimes you may need to remove the layout.
