Causality fracturing. Partly because observing Mandala effects. Basically causality has inertia and plasticity like matter, so soft changes bend and big changes tear, and inertial mass is also proportional to the time between the incursion and excursion points.
Lol, good point. So what I hear you saying is... instead of a simple hard limit, there is a kind of 'tipping point', and we will be fine so long as bones are produced at a lesser rate than they decay. Since the bone production rate is [probably] proportional to population, as long as the population is not increasing without bound...
Imagine this... let's all carry around pocket computers that sync with atomic clocks, they can the use low power radios to set cheap clocks... cough... bluetooth current time service... cough...
I imagine they rely on file extensions too much, and when they tested a file with an "empty" extension something great and terrible happened to make that rule instead of cleaning up the carnage.
Good on them. Put those theories to the test! As long as they pay for it, I don't care if it takes an orbital ride or a trip to find the great wall of ice. This is oddly truer science than one would expect.
Those eyes!
