Oddworld history

[Patrick Vykkers]

In reply to your question, I calculated it, starting with the scientific age of the universe (13.5 billion years, equals diameter, divided by two equals radius, times itself(forgot that step on my first try), times pi EDIT: (Thanks to Primus inter pares) times four equals universe area in square light years which is;57255526120000000000 square light years

[Bullet Magnet]

The total area? Is that the whole universe, or just the visible one? Area, a 2-dimensional means of measurement in four-dimensional space? Did you account for 11th-demensional positive curvature? The rate of expansion (faster thenc, the speed of light) inflation theory and the problem of Dark Matter and Energy? Me thinks not, Mr Smarty-Pants!

Have you seen the map of Mudos? It shows the locations of AO,AE and MO.

[Primus inter pares]

Good calculation Patrick Vykkers, but you forgot to multiplicate it with four, the formula of calculating surface area is: 4*Pi*r.^2.
But here is the distance on Abe and Munchs travel according to the map:
Rupturefarms-Monsaic Lines: 379,579321 K.M., Monsaic Lines-Paramonia/Scrabania: 108,4512346 K.M., Monsaic Lines-Necrum: 131,5513475K.M., Necrum-Mudanchee/Mudomo Vaults: 94,89483025 K.M., Necrum-Feeco Depot: 511,1306685 K.M., Feeco Depot-Slig Barracks/Bonewerks: 271,1280865 K.M., Feeco Depot-Soulstorm Brewery: 379,5793211 K.M., Soulstorm Brewery-Raisins Cave: 542,256173 K.M., Raisins Cave-The Big Well: 433,8049384 K.M., Place where Munch was catch-The Big Well: 759,1586422 K.M., Raisins Cave-Windmill Temple: 325,3537038 K.M., Windmill
Temple-Magog Motors: 162,6768519 K.M., Magog Motors-Splinterz: 108,4512346 K.M., Splinterz-Flub Fuels: 216,9024692 K.M., Flub Fuels-Vykkers Labs last position: 108,4512346 K.M..
That means that Abe has traveled alone inclusive teleportations and that stuff: 5034,957017 K.M.. Munch has traveled alone inclusive all that stuff: that i do´nt know, but look on distance from were Munch was catch-Big Well to find out how long Vykkers Labs have traveled with Munch in.
Abe and Munch traveled together with all that stuff: 1355,640433 K.M..
Summa Summarum: 6390,59745 K.M. or about the same as earths radius.

[Patrick Vykkers]

The whole universe, as I stated. Thank you for correcting my mistake First among equals.
EDIT: By the way, by distance, I meant time, not literal physical distance. Good calculation though.

[Lord Vulcher]

Hmmmmm....... do we actually know why the Glukkons named the Magog Cartel the Magog Cartel?

[magic9mushroom]

Firstly, Magog = a demon in Revelations (not that I believe it)
Secondly, Primus, if Oddworld's radius is 10 times Earth's, its surface area is exactly 100 times Earth's and its volume is exactly 1000 times Earth's.
Thirdly, planets over twice the Earth's mass(which oddworld definitely is) tend to accumulate a thick atmosphere and become gas giants like Uranus or Neptune, so Oddworld would be a gas giant in any case (clap clap for Bullet Magnet, the genius). I don't know whether Lorne refered to the mass of the planet without or with atmosphere, though.

[Mudoko_Jedi]

they called it the magog cartel because in the bible it sais that the magog is an army from hell.

What if the Magog Cartel is an army from Hell? Have we hit something here?

[used:)]

No, you have not. Oddworld uses a variety of religious terms. That doesn't mean they use them literally.

[Bullet Magnet]

clap clap for Bullet Magnet, the genius

Awww, you noticed!

But the mathematics of spheres means that ten times the diameter does not also mean ten times the volume and ten times circumferance and surface area. Apparantly Lorne was actually talking about the surface area, but Primus' calculations do seem to be a bit... extreme.

[Wil]

I repeat that if it takes ten times as long for fire to reach the polar opposite of the point of its origin on Oddworld as it does on Earth, then it's the circumference that's ten times bigger. The technology having to fill out a bigger surface area doesn't slow down its progress along a hypothetical straight arc.

That makes the surface area 100 times bigger and the volume 1000 times bigger than Earth's. Simple powers.

[Patrick Vykkers]

Yeah, Oddworld does seem to have deities and religions which have been shown to be real (Shrykull and chant power). No real life deities or religions exist in it as far as we know. Then again, Abe is like a mix of Christ, Abraham, and Moses.

The Shrykull is sort of like that, mixed up from differnet beings to form a god.

[Bullet Magnet]

And remember the Grubbs and their Nature Spirit/Mongo River.

The actual existence of ghosts.

Supernatural powers.

The god Moolah and its hordes of worshippers.

[Lord Vulcher]

The god Moolah and its hordes of worshippers.

Yeah, hordes of Glukkons that is.

[magic9mushroom]

Yeah, hordes of Glukkons that is.

Unnecessary spoilage of a joke Vulcher...

As I have repeatedly stated, science does not rule out some of the things in Oddworld.
