Evo Lution posted:tl;dr Can anything like in the Animorphs books really exist? D: Exist. Er. Theoretically it's kinda-sorta-almost possible, I suppose. I don't think that anybody would be working on it, in practice. wid posted:Slightly morbid question for Mr. Boone, but it's purely out of curiosity for science/alien mindset: What is the most mass destructive weapon you have heard/known of? Could it be any of these: Logically the most practical weapon there would be hostile nanomachines, but I am not familiar with any situations in which they've been used as weapons. Certainly not on Ulath. And anti-matter does exist. I'm pretty sure you guys have found that out already. Man_Sauce posted:Mr. Boone, what about crop circles? Can you shed some light on that phenomenon? Nope, I know as little about it as you do. Logic would dictate that they are human-designed pranks. Cession posted:I can't imagine being able to tolerate us for as long as you have, considering the supposed intellectual gap. That may sound sardonic, but I really am curious. Certainly we would, though none have been forthcoming. I don't know how we would humour them, though - interesting question! forward pass posted:When you visit planets in Stage 3 development like ours for entertainment purposes, do you regularly ask questions and offer advice to a small part of the masses like you're doing here, or do you sometimes just have a look around and figure things out for yourself and then leave? If you don't regularly do this, why are you doing this on Earth? I reveal my nature to various groups on many planets - it's essential if I want to learn how to behave like a certain species. StoreManager posted:Mr.Boone, No. Taking pleasure in other people's confusion is a fairly... let's say 'human' trait. Reznor posted:I find it amuseing that the first alien we meet is a goon. Given what Mr. Boon has sad there are probably all kinds of alien warfleets people just don't know about them. I would love to hear more of an insiders take on their culture than Mr. Boon, being largely outside it, could provide. What on Earth and/or Ulath are you talking about? I am as much a part of Ulath culture as you are of Earth's. There are no warfleets. vac posted:So what, besides doing what they please, are Melrins interested in? Psychology is largely ignored, what's popular? Well, we are interested in... whatever we please. There is no pre-defined set of things that a melrin is expected to appreciate, which is much more pleasant a situation than there being one. Psychology is unnecessary rather than unpopular. |

Twillback posted:Seeing as you have traveled and/or are knowledgeable of different sentient lifeforms in the different stages of evolution that you outlined before, my question is what is your view on humanity that makes us unique or stand out from the others? Is there a predominate positive trait that you would say is specific to humans? How about a negative trait? Well, I've been from one side of the galaxy to the other. I've visited tens of planets like yours, and each one has housed a different species, but I'll tell you what. In all that time, over all those light-years, out of every species on every planet, I've never met another Stage III species which has anything as towering and indomitable as the human spirit. The way you guys, despite all the hardships and difficulties that you have had thrust upon you from all kinds of directions, whether it's the planet shaking, a volcano exploding, or even the oppression of your own governments, consistently shake it off and make progress, always looking towards the future with hope in your eyes, and song in your heart. Always ready to face a new challenge with the rugged perseverance that has brought you so far, and will continue to drag you into a brighter, better future - for all mankind to flourish in. And when that day comes, humans will be able to cast off the shackles of fear, doubt and oppression and work together to take their rightful place among the stars. Forever, and always, the human empire, representing all that is good and right, exploring space, with us, as brothers. Get out of here. The most notable trait you guys exhibit is that you've somehow managed to not nuke each other that much so far. Negative traits... well, they'll be in my report. |

Calaveron posted:Mr. Boone, physically speaking, what has been your most painful experience? Most painful ever? Hmm. Visited a planet called Bhyio about ten Earth years ago and stepped into what the dominant species referred to as a [untranscribable gnashy clicky sound]-hob, which translates fairly literally as a 'mouth of teeth'. It's a carnivorous animal which hides itself beneath ground-seeking vines like a trapdoor. It'll eat anything that falls in, and bite down on whatever is too big to go down whole, which is a category that my leg quite literally fell into. Ended up having to get back to my ship and completely rebuild my disguise, since what was left of the leg was not much use for walking. BottleCap posted:What are some of the leading causes of death among Merlins? Melrins. And the only significantly common one is old age - we're not particularly susceptible to disease, and there aren't many fatal accidents. Big Centipede posted:Two quick questions: Volcanoes occur on most planets. You do have some interesting rock formations, though, like the Giant's Causeway and the Goblin Valley. Hmm, both mythological names. Curious. Lethanialist posted:Likewise, what has been your most pleasurable experience? Hmm, tough to say - my life has been mostly pleasure. I'll have to think about this. |

Hey guys! Answering a couple of questions, although won't be picking up many more until tomorrow, but I have registered my email account on your Windows Live instant messenger program if anyone wants to talk to me one-to-one! If I don't reply immediately, I'm probably flooded (you guys email me a lot as it is, but hopefully I'll get around to chatting with everybody. It occurred to me earlier that I haven't really talked with anyone on the internet in such a manner, so please add boonefromulath@gmail.com to your Windows Live contact lists and send me messages about how smart you are!spidoman posted:Don't think this has been posted yet, but I apologize if it has. I have answered these, though I think I should clarify point 1, as I mentioned earlier that that melrin would be likely to be killed in self-defense, which, while not inaccurate, doesn't properly convey the fact that the situation is so rare as to be negligible. It's usually not genetic disorders that cause you humans to 'flip out and kill people', as you humans so charmingly put it. It's your plethora of other disorders that does the job. Melrin birth is much simpler than human birth, as melrin children are very small in size. Natural birth is very much the standard. bhig3 posted:Mr. Boone, Without telling you how to travel at lightspeed, this is difficult to answer. Just rest assured that it doesn't cause any extra wear and tear on the space-time continuum, whatever that means. wid posted:Which brings me to my question Mr. Boone: how would you deal with an individual whose mental state forces him to torture and mutilate other living creatures? Would you classify them as one of those with a different perspective? What if he is compelled to harm less advanced beings who cannot defend themselves (as in, not other melrins but wild animals)? Is your species compelled to defend a non-intelligent species being harmed by another advanced species? Or could it be there's none left of this type of mental state in your society? Because we still have people like that, though rare, they usually ended up as serial killers. No idea. I've never heard of anyone who went around mutilating animals for fun. Who would want to? Apart from humans, obviously. |

Moist Missle posted:Mr Boone, could you(or your network) theoretically genetically engineer a giant firebreathing dragon you could ride? Theoretically, yes. oh ok posted:Mr Boone, what's under all that ice on Europa? And can we attempt some landings there? I can't tell you from here, I didn't pay much attention to the data when I was landing, but I didn't pick up any life not on Earth in this system, so presumably there is only more ice. You can and should try landing there, though, just for the experience. Mystic_Squid posted:Did any other planet you visited have internet forums of some kind? Did you reveal yourself to them as you did with us, or did you do it in another way? If not, why did you choose humans as the ones who got to ask you questions? Oh, yes, almost all planets this advanced have a planet-limited network of some kind, and depending on it's structure or my personal feelings at the time, I revealed my nature on some of them. They all reacted in much the same way humans do, although there was a lot less of the humour-through-hostility so prevalent on this planet. Calaveron posted:Mr Boone, what is your favorite Earth movie/tv show/cartoon? Casablanca. No, wait, Citizen Kane! No, not that... The Dark Knight? No. Forrest Gump! Wait... I have a feeling that I do not get the same experience from human movies as you guys do. I found most of your visual media hysterically funny, for various reasons. My favourite movies are probably the script outlines I have been sent for a proposed movie based around me. They were all ridiculous. Tertius Oculum posted:Mr. Boone, do you think you will ever return? There are a few humans I would be tempted to check up on on this planet perhaps a few years down the line, just to see how they're doing, but I say that about every planet and never follow up. seppuku sensei posted:Mr. Boone, 1. It always takes a while, but I have had stranger bodies. 2. In many cases they did. A few humans that I trusted not to tell anyone about the experience received strong evidence when I let them accompany me on Earth travels and showed them a few tricks you guys don't know about. 3. I tried Thai Green and found it underwhelming. |

8 days until I leave. It's been a lovely trip, but I think I'm just about reaching the limit of exposure to your society that a sane being can bear. I'm currently doing a sort of fast rewind of my journey, not exactly retracing my steps but revisiting anyone I've had a lot of contact with while I'm here, which means I'm back in the UK until I leave (so yes, it IS a great time for you all to suggest other countries to visit and people to talk to! Thanks to everybody who has, but please stop). I think, if I can, I'll try to track down Boone the insurance salesman the day before I leave - after all, I have to go back to his town before I leave anyway. My report's coming along sort of nicely, though I'm no good at applying myself to these things. I still promise to let you have whatever I've done by the time I leave. Suitably abridged, of course. It's too late to ask to come back with me, and too late for me to come visit you and your amazing curry recipe, so apologies for that. Thank you for the IM conversations, too, they've been most enjoyable! Except the ones about religion, which are like trying to navigate a rat maze filled with molasses. soy posted:If a star is going to explode, is it possible to stop that reaction from happening? Has this been done? I can't think of any reason why not, but I haven't studied any anti-supernova techniques. Corsec posted:Mr Boone, Did you use the word 'brevity' ironically? A brief question is something like "Where's my shirt?". For one thing, your Cuban Missile Crisis was in no way down to the decisions of a few men. It took tens of thousands of people on both sides to create the situation that got those missiles to where they were, maybe even millions. Putting the blame on the people who were in power when the crisis came to a head is a bit like having a volcano go off and then blaming that bastard mountain peak for not being tough enough. So no, I don't think it is down to bad luck. And I've explained a couple of times why nobody's interested in coming down here and helping you out - you're still violent and warlike and it's you who have to sort it out, or you'll just try to do the same on other planets. If that makes us more 'immoral' than you guys, then I guess I'll head back to Ulath and have some wars. Spaceman Future! posted:Mr. Boone; Id assume that there are many variations of gravity and atmospheric elements on many of the planets you've been to. Generally speaking, in harsher environs the human body is relatively fragile. What traits have you seen on species in more extreme climates surprised you as being effective? Would you say those species would make a better space faring culture because of those adaptations? The most interesting one I've seen is in a species that lived on a very cold planet, colder than even Ulath. They were hard-shelled creatures who had a peculiar trait - they made the sounds for speech by vibrating their entire bodies against the insides of their shells, so they produced extra heat whenever they spoke. |

I like this so much I have to share it with everyone. As a lot of you know, I answer a lot of questions through email, some funnier than others. I have had several requests for my blessing to publish a book or write a movie about me, which I have declined. One human sent me an outline for the proposed Mr. Boone movie. quote:I imagine the movie starting out with showing around town doing your thing without any explanation. Specifically doing things that might be odd to us humans: like sitting in your room, watching TV. The neighbors are blasting their music with heavy bass. Through the wall it just sounds like a lot of muffled bass. Intead of getting irritated, you turn off the TV, put your head back and close your eyes, seeming to relish the sound of muddy bass tones. Which we reveal later is what music on your planet is like. Or we see you at a chinese restaraunt ordering curry chicken and asking for an ungodly amount curry and spices on it, then proceeding to wolf it down. I am not sure which part I like best. It may be the part where I fall in love with a human girl, or it may be the part where the mafia team up with the government. |

ParsimoniousNiggard posted:For reasons that are left as an exercise for the reader, a well-informed person would note that such a distribution of atmospheric gases is not possible in the same way that we, despite not having your (supposedly) otherworldly knowledge, could say with authority, for example, it is not possible that your planet is made of uranium. Well, I certainly wish I'd consulted more sci- oh, you! You almost tricked me! Ulath's atmosphere is as I described, and you have not sufficiently thought through your position. Studphish posted:Pretty nifty topic, space pal. Not really. The alternative to needing heroes is not needing heroes, which is a much better alternative. There's not a huge amount of danger, to be honest. It's not so much a thrill as just the general pleasantness of exploring other planets. |

Heya folks. Sorry it's been a bit quiet on my front, but I've been busier than heck. Trotting all over the damn place, meeting people and saying goodbye and things. I also tried skateboarding today and broke two fingers on my right hand, how's that for fun? Ah well. I'm only here for two more days, so it's a bit late to repair it, so I'll just tie it up with a stick. Incidentally, does anybody here live on the southeast coast of England and know an insurance salesman who dresses as a town crier? I can't think how I'm going to get in contact with him, but I'd like to. soy posted:Hey mr boone, a few more questions before you go: As I said to a similar question in my email, if you'd asked me two years ago I'd probably have had all sorts of advice, but your species is so stubborn I've just about given up, so yes, you're stuck with it and try to enjoy yourself. Do have a pop at not killing each other for a while, try to do things because they need to be done rather than because there's personal profit in it, stop eating red meat (and white meat and other creatures in general). Nihilanthic posted:Are we held accountable for the crimes of our ancestors, or those in power now which we are currently powerless to do anything about? I do ask that you at least make an attempt to read and understand what I've already answered. Tias posted:It can be done, however. Kevin Warwick, a cybernetics and transhumanism enthuasiast has connected a custom made implant in his nervous system to, among other things, a robot arm and a baseball cap and obtained some sort of extra-sensory input from them. However, by your definition such input could be called sensory as well, unless you're misunderstanding us. Yes, I call that sensory. Knoddus posted:Hello Mr.Boone! Love this thread as a lot of people have mentioned before :P. Have one question though in regards to the merlins (or any stage 6 planet i suppose). What happens to the old "people"? Do they go through the same stages of getting old and not being able to take care of themselves as humans do? And in that case who cares for them? There are treatments for every kind of physical ailment, so it doesn't get to the point where a melrin cannot maintain self-reliance until they are a short time from death, in which case, of course they will be assisted. And we don't have to employ care workers to do so, either. |

Morning, chaps.DOOMocrat posted:You mentioned your species had gone through what we'd call eugenics. What were the end results of this program? Are most of your species descended through this genetic engineering? Most importantly, are most Network planets the result of engineered beings instead of those naturally selected? The end results were, eventually, peace. Take from that what you will. And yes, most Stage VI planets have a large-scale genocide or eugenics program in their history (and when I say large-scale, I mean larger than Earth has ever known), but - and this part is important - not all of them do, and in many cases it is doubtful that it significantly helped progress. Daemonus posted:Mr. Boone, is there anything you're looking forward to doing during the journey home? Ever go land on a comet or something just to sightsee? Are there any incredible anomalies in space that are a "must see" for other travelers? Is there anything, anything at all, that you see or experience during your journey that takes your breath away? Daemonus posted:Mr. Boone, is there anything you're looking forward to doing during the journey home? Ever go land on a comet or something just to sightsee? Are there any incredible anomalies in space that are a "must see" for other travelers? Is there anything, anything at all, that you see or experience during your journey that takes your breath away? Well, it doesn't work exactly like that, because my ship is not one in which you can sightsee in space, as it were - I'll be heading directly back to Ulath when I go. But yes, there are awe-inspiring sights in the galaxy, hundreds of them. There is the Ranyiala, which translates roughly as the Woven Web. It's a beautiful solar system of many planets, comets and asteroids. The structure of many of the bodies means they leave far longer and more permanent trails than you might expect, and the system has an incredibly complex set of orbit paths, so that the entire system consists of interweaving 'strands' of dust, ice and asteroids, which, from certain vantage points, looks incredible. |

Boy, you guys sure know how to give a fella a decent send-off. I have trouble explaining my position for a number of reasons, not least the language you guys don't have, but if you guys want to insist I'm the scum of the universe for not bringing everyone on my planet back here to interfere with your planet and solve your social problems (and they are all social issues you can solve yourself, no matter how many different ways you try to cleverly reword the problem), that's OK. It would be rather snobbish of me to suggest that networked planets know a smidge more about the possible effects of interfering with lower-stage planets than Earth does, so I won't. Oh well. It's my last day here, so please excuse me if I don't carry on with the debate. On a more cheerful note, my report is coming along nicely and I am transliterating relevant parts back to that good ol' English alphabet for you guys to read, which is taking longer than I'd thought, so I'm trying to be concise. I've put a big focus on my understanding of human humor into it, so I hope you all appreciate just how hysterical I've gotten! No luck finding Boone, don't even know where to start. Will have one last looksie around this lovely city of Brighton for him before I head off tonight at about quarter to midnight, and unless I'm wrong about how your phone networks function, I should actually be able to post something here almost immediately prior to 'blasting off', as it were (no, there won't really be a blast. And if there were, it certainly wouldn't be visible from anywhere near Brighton Pier). That'll be a final farewell, and you'll get whatever parts of my report I can transliterate in time (I'm annoyed that I left it late enough that I can't do a bit more). And then I will blast off, beam up, reach escape velocity, teleport into my galactic space cruiser, rocket away and ride the light energy through a black hole to Ulath, or some combination of the above, or something entirely different! (My money's on the third, or it would be if I had any.) I'll miss you guys, I really will. A bit. Do try not to blow yourselves up, won't you? And don't let any other aliens push you around, OK? Don't take any wooden space credits. To Serve Man isn't a cookbook but the advice in it is awful. We're having a moment here, and if I was human I'd be able to feel it in my squelchy red heart. |

Apparently "after you die, your body falls over and doesn't do anything any more" isn't the correct answer, because unless we somehow prove that nothing supernatural happens we can never know for sure.

Assuming you could do that, then yeah, that would give you a massive prediction ability. I can't really imagine how it would work, but that's almost inherent in the definition of 'unknown tech'. Again, what you're talking about there is as good as predicting the future. If you can't model irrational behaviour, you find the best alternative you can.

Alrighty! We are at T minus 5 minutes, this is the endgame, baby. Things have come to a head, it's the final countdown and the bases are loaded. We're in extra time and there's not much more sand in the hourglass. Now is the winter of our discont- alright, I'll stop. Believe it or not, I am currently sitting in what you might call a starship, and have been for nearly an hour. I haven't taken off yet (a few more minutes!) and I am, in fact, underwater, as many of you might have already guessed. It's all ready to go, and all I have to do is hit the button at the right time and I'm going to zap right the hell out of here. Sorry I didn't get round to the last batch of questions, but you know, moving and all that. I really I'm going to miss you, and I say that about every species, but you guys are special, honestly. I'm running out of time much more quickly than I expected. You guys take care of yourselves, OK? I might not be coming back but if you turn the planet into a fireball I'll know about it and I will be very annoyed. Also, I was kidding about the suit and the bowler hat, you goofuses. But I wasn't standing around doing nothing for five hours today, must have been some guy having fun. Alright, as promised, here is a transliterated section of my report - it's not much, but I know you guys will appreciate it, even though the transliteration is sketchy as all get-out. Report! Alright, now's the window. I've got to get out of here in the next few minutes or I'll have to re-sort all of everything and that'll take another week. If I'm right, anyone viewing from the east side of the UK will see a shooting star near the lighter side of the moon in about two (edit: oops, got it wrong. Five more. Silly me!) minutes, but I'm not sure where it'll be viewed from anywhere else. Do wave me goodbye if you see it. Adios, aloha, auf weidersehn, goodbye!
