If Carl Sagan were ever to RP.
14 years ago
So I was listening to Carl Sagan in my background while RPing recently and I had this thought. "What would an RP by Carl Sagan look like?" As a note if you don't know who Carl Sagan is, he explains science in an amazing fashion. So here is my attempt at writing what an RP action by Carl Sagan would look like
***My arm is composed of trillions of cells and bio-electrical impulses from my brain cause the muscles cells to contract. Ambient light photons within the room strike my arm and partially dissipate their energy against the vast molecular cosmos that is my skin. The remaining energy of the light reflects off of my arm and travels radially outward as both a straight line particle and a contracted waveform. Multitudes of these photons travel at a near instantaneous speed, so close to zero as to be imperceptible, and passes through the semi-permeable surface of your eye. The globular distortion of this surface alters the path of the photons contracting them so that they lens and strike the back of your eye upside down from their original trajectory. Your retinas absorb this constant stream of light and sends it to your brain which processes it into a four dimensional image. Our four dimensions being length, width, height (the three physical dimensions of space) and time (the measurement of progression towards universal entropy). Within the folds of your brain this constantly updated image is quantum processed allowing you to perceive that I am oscillating my arm in a what is a shared cultural experience of me waving hello to you.***
Then whomever he was RPing with would likely post: LOL ***I wave back***
And Carl would likely ragequit because being a scientist it not so much just the what, when and where as the why and how of the event that captivates his interest and imagination.
