Re: Babylon 5 Mod
When 2 waves of energy pass through each other, they add or cancel, depending on their relative frequencies. But this is only when they are in contact. Once they pass through each other, they return to normal, unchanged. This can be seen by shining two flashlights in crossing paths. Where the beams meet, there will be up to 2x as much light. But after they have crossed, the individual beams are the same as they were before they met. This also happens with sound waves. I am not sure about other types of waves (such as waves of water), but I think they follow the same physics.

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
OT:
If you have a square wave of height 10cm, going left, say. And a square wave of 15 cm, going right. When the waves begin overlapping, you get a height of 25cm (they add linearly means 10+15=25) where they overlap. After the waves pass, you end up with a 10cm wave on the left and a 15 cm wave on the right, still the same shape. IE: the waves do not affect each other, since after the "interaction", the waves are still the same as they were before. For an animated example See: http://Users.erols.com/renau/wave_interference.html Ball lightning sounds like a plasma of N2/O2 sustained by a concentration of microwaves or just slowly fading away after being generated(by lightning, say). No matter the source, it is hardly pure energy, since it operates in an atmosphere. BTW plasma is not pure energy, either, it is just really hot matter, such that the electrons have been stripped away from the nuclei, and it forms a soup of electrons and protons. |

The Shadows never man their ships, so their actual form is not meaningful for mod purposes. Incidently, I just was watching the B5 season 3 DVD, and Garibaldi, in the "Shadow Files" extra bit, mentions that there are only 6 million Shadows. So most of what the mod regards as the Shadows is really their allies and slaves. |
Re: Babylon 5 Mod
Haha... nice responds. Except on the part of the ideas about the beloved Ancients.
I think we best drop the thing about the waves. I think we all bear some truth but none has the whole truth. Ah well, let's call it a drw. "A draw?! Come back here you coward!" "What are you going to do? Bleed on me?!" Hehe... Come on people what about the Ancients? What do you think of my ideas? |

Re: Babylon 5 Mod
To beat a dead horse, there was one episode speficically that showed the Shadows to be energy beings. The humans made a military base on some planet or moon or whatever. Some "demon" killed off all but a few people, then follwed them in the sleeper ship they set off on. It was a soldier of darkness left behind by the Shadows in the Last war or some such, and was an energy being. So either the Shadows are energy beings, or they have the ability to create energy beings. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif Take your pick. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
