Further Notes

Testing on SCP-004 reveals that ten (10) of the keys open SCP-004-1 on a dimension where the laws of physics and topology are significantly different than those of our home dimension. Test subjects meeting these hostile conditions are torn apart, their body parts deposited in various locations, only three of which have been verified to be on Earth. Material deposited at two of these points appears immediately; material deposited at the third appears exactly [DATA EXPUNGED] years into the future. The other seven locations are currently unknown.

Current testing focuses on two avenues of research. The first is finding ways to survive SCP-004’s hostile topologies. The second [DATA EXPUNGED] suggest that SCP-004-2 through -13 may open doors other than SCP-004-1.


Appendix A: Mental Health Effects of SCP-004-12

All Class D personnel using SCP-004-12 return in a catatonic state, unable to speak. Some may have enough energy left to try to claw out their eyes. Of the 16 subjects, only 4 have survived. Only one has regained speech, following long-term psychotherapy. He was able to tell the psychiatrist that he saw a massive green creature, so large that much of its body extended beyond his field of view. He reported innate fear and sudden recognition, “as if it were something buried deep in [his] primal fears,” and forced implantation of “incomprehensible” memories. Subject displays acute anterograde and retrograde amnesia.

Re: X Marks the Spot
Eating is a highly scalable metaphor.

One can also customize the texture.



As for the physical equivalent, well.... I feel I could do just fine without ever the notion. Is bothersome and a real trap, to my sense.

Sometimes. Not always.

The point of the saying is that the eater eats by being sweet. And by letting you eat that sweetness, in exchange for your meatness.

I eat at McD's a lot recently, because it is a strategic choice, but the buns all taste like sugar, the meat doesn't taste like meat, and I wouldn't call it something I enjoy, it is tactical.

Shaping What Is
Jan 14, 2014

Galaxies are the luminous children of electrical parentage, not the darkling spawn of invisible forces.

“Hear one side and you will be in the dark. Hear both and all will be clear.”

— Lord Chesterfield

“Galaxies come in many shapes and sizes, but until recently astronomers have been at a loss to explain why. Now scientists have used dark matter theory to predict the menagerie of galaxies found in the Universe.” The mathematical description for dark matter is plugged into computer programs that create models of galaxy formation.

The quantities vary depending on the source, but consensus astronomy assumes that dark matter makes up approximately 25% of the Universe. So-called “dark energy” is said to comprise more than 70%, with the remaining 5% being the baryonic matter that is visible to the naked-eye and detectable with instrumentation.

Astronomers use the term “baryonic” in reference to all celestial objects made of normal atomic matter—that is, matter composed of protons and neutrons. Note that electrons are not baryonic, they are “leptons”, but they are ignored on the astronomical scale because protons are usually accompanied by electrons.

Dark matter is described more by what it is not than by what it is. As stated above, it does not exist as stars or planets that can be seen. It is not dark clouds of normal baryonic matter, because baryonic clouds can be observed when they absorb radiation. Dark matter is not antimatter. Since gamma rays are said to be created when matter and antimatter annihilate each other, dark matter would glow with that high frequency light.

As the press release states, researchers used the “Lambda Cold Dark Matter” theory to write a new supercomputer model that was able to closely approximate the number of spiral and elliptical galaxies that can be observed.

Including dark matter in their calculations was deemed “crucial” because galaxies are thought to be surrounded by “haloes” of dark matter. Such large concentrations of invisible material are essential for galactic clusters to hold together, as well as preventing individual galaxies from “flying apart”.

The confident assertions about the model’s accurate predictions must be balanced against the fact that the equations have been created to match observations. In order to offer “predictions”, many assumptions must be considered literal. However, as has been pointed-out in previous Picture of the Day articles, there are many things the models cannot anticipate: the large scale structure of the Universe, for example................
