Science Rules! The Science and Knowledge Expo Kicks into Full Force!

[stringmods]

▼ Consider the Following......

 

Who: Anyone
Where: The entire city
When: June 8th-15th
Summary: Science and Knowledge Exop in the Leo Ward.
Warnings: That depends who is there. Remember to mark your titles clearly if any warnings need to be issued!

▼ You know what rules?

 

Science. Science and the inquiring mind has kept humanity on the path of progress for hundreds of thousands of years. What could make science rule harder?

A science showcase, of course! What better way spark the curiosity of the young and old by showing off the scientific achievements of the community. You have your things for the kids, your potato batteries and baking soda volcanoes and what-have-you, you have your higher-brow showcases of what the Department of Wands has been working on, your informative panels delving into biology, physics, chemistry and astronomy. There's even free food, including some molecular gastronomy creations for the...adventurous. There are even topics your average Visitor wouldn't think fell under the realms of science.

Such as? Why, like how Personas work (with explanations that aren't just "It's Magic") or discussions about demons, where they might come from, how they're different and similar to humans, how they use magic, and so on.

What kind of things will you and your friends discover? Perhaps you or someone you know is setting up an exhibit?

Regardless, enjoy the science fair and have fun!

[OOC: You are allowed to start a thread if you want your character to have a booth / hold a topic in a private room, or just do threads where you go around visiting. Projects and seminars are varied! Share your knowledge! Enjoy the science! Eat some really strange food! Try not to mix too much baking soda with vinegar!]

"Hmm... well. If the pokeballs can be transferred with the creature inside, then it's just a matter of making a reliable wireless signal to be able to transfer them properly. If we're talking about swapping them inside the pokeballs, it's a matter of encoding their data to the correct file type. That's what I did with my program."

They're not Digimon, Naoya.

"Well, I think the main problem with making a portable client to access the main server is size, really. Trainers go all over the place, and anything portable enough to not be a massive burden simply can't run the Storage System program in the first place - a two-way transport machine is about the same size as a vending machine."

A pause to think.

"...there are teleport tiles, but that's fixed transference between two points, so they're mostly used as a security feature."

"Those things shrink... it shouldn't be that difficult to scale the machine sizes down. I suppose it depends where your world is in regards to computer technology... are laptops available? Like this one?"

Gesturing to his laptop, yep.

Nod.

"Yeah, we have those. Like I said, the main issue is the size of the transport machine - there's no reliable way to miniaturize one without losing the ability to change the destination on either end."

"That doesn't make sense, though. If you could hook it up to perhaps an arm-mounted device that could connect to a server, theoretically it should be possible, given what you've said so far."

Hmm...
