Congratulations you have very nearly mimicked perfectly the intellectual dissonance of the initial contentious statement by Frank. Floating Islands are OK because they are Magic, Hollow worlds aren't because of Science!Starmaker wrote:The flying islands world is something I understand... maybe it's ...just magic.
...The hollow world, on the other hand, does not work, like, at all. The problem is not because of the lack of gravity (which, by the way, is not a matter of physics, that's motherfvcking MATH at work)
WTF?
In other news. "Really Big" is indeed a description.
Also the fact that You read one story that focused entirely about floating islands and another that focused entirely on a hollow world not only proves nothing, it is very nearly like saying nothing at all in the first place.
Indeed I am rather puzzled how "there was a story about it!" makes one acceptable while "there was a story about it!" makes the other unacceptable.
Especially when you add "and there COULD be a story not exclusively about one of those, no comment on the other" as further "evidence of... something...
Especially especially when this contradicts your initial claim that "there was a story about it(that focused on it almost exclusively)" was the way that it "should" be.
I also like how you take the time to talk about how the things you said weren't "the problem" with hollow worlds were in fact also the problem.
And I like how you wrapped up with a wandering three point summary about "1) There was a story about it, 2)There was a story about it, 3)There was a story about it" Thus because unlike floating islands (which there was a story about) they are all wrong-bad-fun.
I think you might need to thoroughly review and refine your thoughts on the matter.
