Talk:Navigation in the Re-imagined Series/Archive 1
More actions
This article comprises the topics on navigation from a past larger article version of Science in the Re-imagined Series, broken out for later expansion and page size considerations. The Reaction Control System article and parts of the FTL article are also included. --Spencerian 08:13, 11 October 2006 (CDT)
There may be a significant error in the section on distances. The 30 minute communications delay between Adar and Roslin is most likely a total round trip delay -- 15 minutes each way, not 30. This would mean that all distances, times, and speeds derived from this number should be halved. --Girckin 21:22, 7 November 2006 (CST)
- When Roslin later speaks to 'Jack' over the wireless, there is no such delay whatsoever. Billy may have meant the time it takes to get Roslin's speech from the plane to the President's eyes, or some delay in that process.
Cleanup
I've tagged this for clean-up, it is a mess, for example it has self references, assumptions and original research, which are not encyclopaedic. MatthewFenton 15:44, 30 December 2006 (CST)
- Keep in mind, before you make changes, that Battlestar Galactica is a work of fiction. The information in this encyclopedia is self-referencing sometimes because it is it's own universe. Much of the research involves derived content, which is allowable if it is based on information provided by official information in the show. Be careful not to apply the original research processes os Wikipedia here; they do not fully apply. Please note what items you consider original research so all can review them and determine if the items are derived content or unsourced original research, also known as fanwanking, which is not allowable here. --Spencerian 23:53, 30 December 2006 (CST)
- "We know that Battlestar Galactica's universe sticks to the same speed of light constant as real-world Earth (and the universe, of course): 186,282 miles per second." - Who is we? Is we me and the wiki, if so how do I know, how does we know? - Basically you should never use the word "we" here -- Self-referencing isn't just writing down text, an example of self-referencing would be an episode page.
- "Given the velocities involved, extremely high accelerations must be used to attain them in reasonable (useable [sic]) time frames involved for in-system transportation. Such G forces would kill any humans involved unless some means of dampening them were employed. Given that the technology to perform "space-folding" FTL Jumps is also available, the technology to manipulate gravity would lie in the same area." - space-folding, when has space-folding been mentioned in the series?
- Just two things that immediately jump out at me. This page reads like an essay to me at least. MatthewFenton 17:34, 1 January 2007 (CST)

- I agree, Matthew. We can neutralize the writing to make it leas like an essay. If you don't get to it, I'll make the changes. --Spencerian 20:37, 1 January 2007 (CST)
- About space-folding: While it hasn't been stated on screen, I recall an interview with Moore and/or Eick, where they said that they wanted to actually show the spacefolding effect in more detail, but couldn't get it to look good. So at the end they settled for the current effect. Or it might even be in "33" or "Miniseries" podcast. --Serenity 05:39, 2 January 2007 (CST)
- It was from the miniseries DVD commentary, I believe. --Spencerian 07:00, 2 January 2007 (CST)
