“A Star, A Star” sounded like a memetic kill trigger to me. It seemed like a way to underline the ruthlessness of the Foundation in dealing with this issue
Due to the way it's notated on the document (A*), I'm led to believe it is referencing the black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*. Astronomers pronounce the * as "Star"
Seems like it has a delay and/or mind control aspect to it too, given that he tells the reader to ask their deacon about it, which would spread it amongst fifthists
@@daltongarrett3393 that makes sense- that line made me think it was just something embarrassing or meaningful to the Fifthist church.
I'm suddenly thinking about what would happen if SCP-134 (Stella, star eyed child) overheard it. Would the terminus in her eyes correspond with her thoughts or would it be a collective of thoughts from everyone focusing on the stars from the fifth world perspective since the constellations don't correspond to anything we can see from Earth. Since Stella's father was a physicist that dabbled in the occult and later was told he had a sparkle in his eyes before ultimately descending into madness (a parental sacrifice perhaps). After noticing Stella's eyes, her mother saw it as a bad omen and abandoned her, which is an interesting take on Japanese folklore and an interesting way to have the stars 'reflect' on themselves through her eyes.
Funnily enough A* is a real world search algorithm!
It's always so crazy to hear how convincing these voices and accents are, I get so used to the main instructor voice being the "normal" that at the end of every video I'm blind sided by your real voice. Amazing voice acting skills!
Same! When I told my sister he was actually Scottish (I really hope I'm not wrong there), she freaked out and was like "why have I not listened to the outro!?" Lol
I believe he’s Irish? Did he use his natural voice for the Potato Bag SCP?
@@UGNAvalon Yeah, shoot, you're right... I'm bad with UK accents because they change every 25 miles. And it must be "Northern Ireland" specifically since his RUclips location is set to the UK (the Republic of Ireland is decidedly *not* the UK lol).
well he's day job is being a voice actor
Your local north-west Scot telling you that the lovely gentleman sounds Northern Irish - not brusque enough to be Scottish.
But bloody hell does he have a calming voice when he switches off character for final notes at the end. ❤️
I hope this series never stops
Me too man
Well get writing SCP entries before he reads them all!
Word up
@Isaiah George I think he should do more log focused ones like this, I liked the puppy killing machine aswell. Diving into a mysterious object/thing and testing it has always been my favorite scps.
Yes yes. Never stop. Never. Stop. Never stop. The series. It can't stop. Ever.
Ooh, Volgun’s on a Fifthist streak.
I can only assume this is the second out of five Fifthist videos.
Was there another one I missed??
@@wesjeselnik2974 the last one, 3005, also has hints that it's heavily influenced by Fifthist concepts
There is also 3125, which is supposed to be there god
@@williemerkerson5215 Their god may be connected to the Scarlet King as well.
My headcanon is that the Fifth God is the Scarlet King's _crown._
This series really makes the foundation feel so real with the quality of voice acting and content
💯
Volgun and Eastside bear the brunt of the entire community in my eyes
I've been following for years now, and how much you've grown your fanbase is astonishing, and the content is still just as crisp as ever. I believe "the stars do not wait for you" was one of my favorite 'tale-like' stories so far, but I don't think there is a single video on either of your channels I haven't enjoyed watching, except maybe the copyright shit that happened a while back, as it was more infuriating and worrysome than exciting. I really hope you remember to value your time and mental health above all else as burnout is very real. I am thinking about finally joining your Patreon. I haven't had a chance to financially support you, as I've been homeless for a few years, but things are getting to the point where I feel like I can do more than just talk. Have a great night dude!
as long as you're enjoying what I make, that's the most important thing! :)
@@TheVolgun always will. I really hope you remember to value your mental health, please don't overwork yourself for your community, as I imagine most of us would prefer you be in a good state of mind whether you are uploading or not. Goodnight dude, immersive video as always by the way.
Hope you're living in a good place now, Original Poster.
@@ReticentSparrow not yet, eventually though. Appreciate it
Keep your head up. You can only Rise Up from where you were I'm going through almost the same thing but with different problems having to start over with a few things. I wish you the best of luck and I hope and pray for you that God lays a gentle hand on you and allows you to see the path you need to take to stay fed to stay warm and to share all the blessings that you receive.
Extra credits is one of the best things to be added to these briefings. Never stop, unless you're keeping the mystery intact.
1.2k???!! This doing numbers😎
I think the extra credit could be done as a separate video but I do like it in the same video
@@borttorbbq2556 what about both? Incase someone knows about the scp entry and just wants the explanation?
@@avrex100 oh I agree with you I just mean admittedly for his channel videos that don't have full watch time can end up hurting your Channel. I personally do like it because it's more of just a ambient background that I'm listening to. Like I'm playing mindistry right now but I enjoy listening to the scps and a little bit of an explanation kind of gets a bit of additional light you know
Check the exploring series channel it follow the story but with explanations. It is like extra credits are merged together with story
@@bezimeni2000 That’s actually why I don’t like exploring. It ruins the flow and atmosphere. The complete lack of atmosphere in exploring is why I can’t listen to it at all in honesty.
The best thing about this SCP is that it's so plausible.
Even the title of the book is one I could swear I heard of or saw either on bookshelves or on a talk show.
Beautifully read and again, so convincing.
Look up Scientology, it’s very plausible!
@@Snuffaluffachris Yeah, I know about them. The mention of actors etc. being members was an obvious reference .
I meant specifically the book. It's the perfect mishmash of self help and New Age faux spirituality. The title is also perfect.
Yeah man, reality bending is totally plausible!!!!!!
.......
@@stevenhetzel6483 i think they were talking about the book itself, not its anomalous effects. the author of the scp perfectly captured the language & advice of new age spirituality/self help books.
@@stevenhetzel6483 A lot of self help literature proposes to teach you techniques akin to reality bending. Look at The Secret. They tell you to visualize what you want until it shows up, literally imposing your will on the universe to change your reality. It’s not a big stretch to write a story where that premise is realized.
Extra Credit is one of those sub categories that help substantially when discovering some of the more mindbending elements of the SCP Multiverse. Fifthism in particular as I can't think about Fifthism without risking a journey to the depths of hell.
On another note, the idea of popular or powerful politicians of any kind isn't new in regards to typical cults. Fifthism being the latest in that trend. It is serviceable though, especially with the quality of the reading and the accents. Well done, Volgun. Well done indeed.
True. The idea of unmooring from an agreement that we at least experience some sort of consensus reality while still being individuals is definitely a one way ticket to existential crisis town.
@@moonlight_scribe It's things that make you think. Really question the idea of "Reality" and in this case, the dangers that even Safe anomalies can be.
I like how both the fifthist scp hes covered mentioned " did you know some stars we see are dead? ". It could be a way the church finds other members without raising suspension
Meanwhile I just find the idea funni of "You too can become like the stars" being interpreted by someone as "is this a [self-cancelling] guide???"
Seems like this SCP is like what might happen if "The King In Yellow" Got a scientologist like religion to surround it.
You're single-handedly what drew me into SCP over the years. Your content really is fantastic and I selfishly hope you never quit.
"Does the phrase A* A* mean anything to you, fifthist!?"
_worried AI programmer_
42:52 What? We can DEFINITELY see light from individual stars more than a hundred light-years away. Just this year the James Webb telescope detected a gravitationally-lensed star that's something like 28 billion light years from us, we see it as it existed roughly 12.8 billion years ago (it's more distant than 12.8 billion light years because of the expansion of the universe since that light was emitted).
Unless you're specifically talking only about stars that are visible to the naked eye, instruments can almost certainly resolve light from short-lived giant stars that are currently expired.
Was about to say this, we can definitely see stars that died millions of years ago through special instruments. We are able to look back all the way to the start of the universe, although not perfectly since our telescopes aren’t up to snuff yet. Typical of a reddit user I guess to think themselves smarter.
TheVolgun for atmosphere and The Exploring Series for serenity, the two best voices on RUclips for this. Thank you so much Volgun
At first I thought that Extra Credit for this SCP was unnecessary as it sounded like a fairly easily understood entry to me, however it was really interesting to hear the parallels between Fifthism and Scientology and how the organization operates. Thank you for this.
Director Erlenmeyer's entire note strikes to me as a Sun Tzu's quote:
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."
He's a Top Brass that studies his enemies moves and tricks before actually doing any sort of offensive and won't stop to learn whatever it is that will make his enemies ticked
The "A 🌟, A 🌟" could very be possibly an Sleeper code. He said that after he mentioned "Command said that the sleepers have been eradicated, but it is to my belief that the operation was not local" and "We rooted out the moles in England so hard that It will make your head spin".
As far as I am concerned, No, He's not a Fifthist... Even if he is, He's an asset of the Foundation, not the Church of Fifthism. He just said something that would make a Fifthist tick
In the world of warfare... Whether it's through the lens of battle or the lens of espionage, the enemy will not just agree that they lost... Until they're convinced they're lost... Demoralized.
Erlenmeyer will only stop until every single Fifthist came to the Foundation, surrendered and said that they are surrendering themselves through their own mouth. He's the type that's ruthless to his enemies and will systematically use their own trick to do it...
The phrases "When you wish upon a star" & "Do you read Sutter Kane?" come to mind when I listened to this.
I never thought I'd hear Hugh Laurie mentioned in a SCP article. Also the extra credit section has been a really nice addition.
Yeah, that perked my ears up too. Especially because I've been on a House kick lately.
Also notice how the guy who wrote the text for «Extra Credit» is called Rock D. House
A «Dr. House» if you will
This extra credit stuff is really dope, I hope it continues 🙏
On a light-hearted note to anyone reading this, I'd recommend checking out the tale "Patrick Star Becomes Enlightened", a spongebob episode script that got infected by fifthist influence.
"If you've read this book correctly, and you have, tomorrow with be the start of your weekend" not me listening to this on a Friday before the first weekend I've ever had off from work
I'm so happy that you're covering these, fifthist scps are some of my faves
37:05
A *Glasgow smile* is a scar coming from the side of ones mouth towards the cheek. It looks like an enlarged smile.
It was a popular move among Glasgow Razor gangs. It sends a message, and its very brutal.
It must have been them who got to that one actor... Chibs from Sons of Anarchy.
@@DashaLeigh
You are exactly right. The actor is from Easterhouse in Glasgow and got sliced up one dreary night.
I think this has become my favorite channel for SCP content, you always go above and beyond to make the story come to life and feel believable. Fantastic work my friend, keep it up.
Volgun is unparalleled in SCP retellings from the point of view of a researcher who is educating someone about the archived data. Dr Bob has the best tales from the perspective of an unknowing victim. Both are great and present contrasting perspectives, both chilling and immersive with very different styles.
Loved the extra credits! Would love to see more of these!
Star Signals and the 5th Church in general is what first got me into the SCP Foundation. Good ole 4Chan lol..
I really enjoy the Extra Credit things you’ve been doing. Thank you so much!
The Volgun *covers a SCP that mentions Machine Elves*
Every one who's seen them on a DMT trip *shutters in emotional damage*
I'm really confused by the "some of the oldest light we get are only about a hundred years old". We can see the andromeda galaxy and that's millions of light years away, meaning the light is millions of years old, right?
Photons don't age though, so to get light of any 'years old' we would need to take it from the future. Obvious when you think about it.
When a star 'dies' it can become a black hole. Light can't escape a black hole.
@@sheakennedy-ordway1156 and? light from its early years would obviously still have escaped.
Fifthists are kinda dumb
@thisisastrobbery363 sounds like SOMEBODY hasn't praised the starfish today ;)
I need to point it out that in the extra credit when it says light reaching us is only a hundred years old is blatantly untrue. If a star is a million light years away, it takes a million years to reach us
You don’t need to point that out, as none of the stars seen with the naked eye are millions of light years away (aside from the andromeda galaxy in extremely dark conditions)
But it is relevant, if poorly explained if one considers how a star might die. How can we 'see' the light if it can't escape a singularity?
I don't think they meant the light was literally only a hundred years old, but instead that light we currently *see* is about one hundred years old, basically that our view of visible stars is only lagging by about a century, not as much as the book was implying
@@Zolanark There is no "lag by a century" - the further we look into space, the farther you look back in time.
When you look at the sky at any random night, each star is a snapshot of a different time. Two stars that "appear" next to each other can be thousands of light-years apart, and as a result, the time the light from each star takes to reach your eyes can be tens of thousands of years apart.
One particular star - Betelgeuse (in the constellation Orion) - is the only star aside from Sol (Our Sun) we've been able to take a picture of and have something other than a single dot. It's got the right combination of big enough and close enough.
It's near the end of its life, and frankly, it may have already exploded. We won't know until we see the explosion, and only then will we be able to say "yeah, it exploded 642 years ago."
On the other hand, because nothing can move faster than light, that means whatever we see is for all intents and purposes happening simultaneously. It makes no possible difference for us to consider it to have happened ages ago.
When you're about to look for some new SCP's and coincidentally TheVolgun uploaded a new video just a few seconds ago.
43:15 the oldest light we get is way older than that.
The CMBR is from recombination iirc, which is within spitting distance of "in the beginning." The furthest star ever detected has light that is 12.9bn years old.
It does raise an interesting question- if you look at the sky, and somehow were able to pick out just the stars that would be visible with the naked eye- so no quasars, no galaxies, just the stars that have a +6 or better apparent magnitude (about the dimmest you can see with the naked eye), what would the sky look like?
Regardless, there's a bunch of visible stars that are further than 100 light years away. Betelgeuse is 500 light years away, and it's visible with the naked eye.
Not sure where they got the 100 years number. I'd say a majority of the light hitting earth from non-sun stars is probably from dead stars. Not that I would have any idea how to do that estimation.
Pushing back a bit on what seems to be the general consensus in favour of extra credits, I do agree that it's helpful for contextualising stories, but if it's prone to individual errors, especially since the analysis can be wrong, it might be more trouble than it's worth. Like in this case, around 50:00 they point out that Class B amnestics are effective because they make you forget, but don't dwell on the fact that Class B specifically are used to "wipe back," so to speak. Class A would be useless here, because you would need to be able to prompt the memory you were trying to remove. That's the sort of thing I'd find useful to have pointed out- when people say "class B," they mean "we're going to nuke the last two weeks of your life."
Just feels a bit iffy to me. Might be overreacting, especially since the Scientology angle is definitely interesting. I didn't know most of that. But yeah, idk about some of that information.
I trust you on this more than me though- I don't have much experience with this sort of thing.
Photons don't age though, so to get light of any 'years old' we would need to take it from the future. Obvious when you think about it.
Read this before but never realized the connection with scientology. Extra credit is great!
Thanks!
Dude I’ve been watching you for like 7yrs and you keep getting better I love the commentaries. One of my favorite parts of exploring series was him explaining the super complex hour long SCPs at the end.
It really wraps it together and makes it easy to remember 🤘
I love the extra credit stuff. It gives me most of the extra research I want and in a neat little “wink at the fourth wall” way.
I was just looking for a reading of this a few days ago! I guess if you wish upon a star dream truly do come true. I love the Fifthists and this is my favourite of their SCPs.
I kinda had a rough idea what was going on at the end of the debriefing but the extra credit really did me a solid by solidifying some of my thoughts while pointing out other features that I had missed. Thanks again for adding that tad bit.
i’ve missed you Doctor thank you for always keeping us educated.
Given that the researcher says "ask your Deacon about it" at the end, I'm thinking the latter as well, that he was not completely removed himself. Very good entry, and another great entry into the "extra credit" stuff! Thanks again, Volgun!
Or it could be that Sagittarius A* is a super massive black hole and a devourer of stars making this a kind of threat.
@@prophet8724 that's clever lol
I kinda figured it was an infectious and/or mind controlling memetic kill agent. Given he tells the reader to ask their deacon about it, the intent would be for it to spread amongst fifthists
@@daltongarrett3393 that is also a really good idea. I guess either of us could be right
I literally cannot watch any other SCP readers because of the quality of this channel.
I like the longer videos. I appreciate the effort.
The one where Clef writes a book after main-lining DMT/Datura/mushies while looking at the stars.
man ive heard star signals like three or four times but this one is the best- mostly because of the end analysis, excellent work there. Really sets this apart from all the other videos I really really liked that part.
That Liverpudlian accent was chef's kiss, my guy. Class!
Extra credits work so well! For some SCPs it is so necessary to be able to get the full enjoyment out of it.
Appreciate these extra credit episodes, Doc.
Love extra credit. So many people contribute and add so much to each SCP its so nice to hear more. If you started adding on Tales connected to certain SCPs that would be awesome. Extra extra credit.
My favourite SCP from one of my favourite series and I'd still never made the connection to real-life parallels until your Extra Credits reading - tremendous work as ever in parsing this eerie tapestry, can't wait to see you do more.
It’s refreshing to hear a new take on this SCP after TheExploringSeries’ reading, and your voice acting is, as usual, phenomenal
Keep up the great work!
I've been watching these for a while and the extra credit bits are great! Please keep doing them, TheVolgun!
Omg! I loved TES' reading of Star Signals, I can't wait to finish this one!
Absolutely love extra credit I love hearing the scp explained without having to look up extra stuff since I'm usually at work while I listen
i was almost falling asleep when i heard “hugh laurie” and got really confused for a second like why is beloved doctor in this scp document hello
Fifthist SCPS are the one that probably benefit the most from a section like Extra Credits. Amazing work Volgun!
I need to leave the house and run around but I just saw this and am excited as hell for when I get to listen! :D
It would be hilarious if the "indecipherable consonant heavy language" that readers started speaking was just Welsh.
"unlike nearly all self-help books, this one actually tries to assist the reader's personal goals"
God DAYUM, shots fuckin fired xDDD
Using mind control to rewrite the noosphere.
I mean, most 'advice' in self help is just framing obvious crap to make it seem profound. Of course "honesty is the best policy", artifice and deceit are humanity's greatest enemies.
I’m digging the little explanations at the end. It helps to contextualize the more confusing elements. Keep up the good work man it’s good
You've really stepped up your channel recently. I've been hooked got a long time but recently I've been watching episodes multiple times just for the quality
TheVolgun is really earning his subs, this is quality!
Fifthist church got my homie Dr. House. Fight it, Hugh.
Mate
Speaking as someone from England I'm so impressed with your voice acting. I can't believe your range
I like to think that the book itself actually isn’t that anomalous. instead is mostly just very good at indoctrinating the reader, and the reality bending comes from so many people believing the same thing simultaneously. No one individual has full reality bending powers but instead reality is being slightly bent in hundreds of thousands of ways or by the amalgamation of every readers subconscious into one reality breaking entity.
I also totally think this was one of, if not the first, real uses of scp 2000
The ideas of this reminds me of warhammer 40k. The powers of chaos and the belief in them being cults
4:40 hear him accidentally slip into his native southern accent
Keep doing extra credit! Sometimes when I’m listening to these I’ll forget details or misunderstand something so the story won’t make sense and the extra credit helps alleviate that!
This is a great one for the extra credit, while it doesn't necessarily need extra explanation itself, it's a core piece to understanding a lot of other scp. "Required reading" if you will. (But remember, not on weekends)
You’re the reason I came back to the SCP universe
Volgun's videos are pretty much my entire experience with SCP. Nothing else keeps my interest in it as much, even just trying to read them.
Was just wondering about the program and then The Extra Credit answered many unanswered questions. The Extra Credits is a wonderful addition.
Man I hate to be late to this but @thevolgun you should know the a*a* reference is actually a reference to A∴A∴ or "Astron Argon/ Argentum Astrum" a 'thelemic spiritual' organization founded in 1907 by Aleister Crowley and George Cecil Jones. The wikipedia pages on the org, parent orgs, child orgs, both men, and various other followers read like real life SCP's. Would recommend. Lots of possibly drug or mental illness induced deliriums, voices from beyond, and cultish insanity.
This entire series has come MILES from what it used to be and im LOVIN it
"A Star, A Star"
For some reason this makes me think of Sagittarius A* (where the asterisk is meant to be pronounced as "Star")
The supermassive black hole at the very center of our galaxy.
Black holes, especially supermassive ones, are kinda the epitome of "dead stars". It fits with the "some stars in the sky are dead, but we still see their ancient image" as we can detect it even though we can't see it, etc. Idk, sounds like exactly the sort of thing this star based fifthist sect would be all about.
This has been a great return to me actively listening/reacting to your videos. I have always loved the longer ones, and this one did not disappoint. Thank you, it was nice to return to this universe - and get a new chance to listen to the absolutely screwed-up lengths that The Foundation will go to.
Absolutely astounding. I love your production style and values. Cheers!
Has anyone else here been subjected to 5,000 political campaign ads for one goddamn candidate -and zero ads for the other? Am I the only one?
sickening, was it not? never would I have imagined there'd come a day when I seriously considered quitting RUclips.
The “A * A *” thing had me thinking of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
Near the end of the article the word "lethe" is mentioned as part of some classified scp that they used to help contain the situation and is having unfortunate aftereffects. I wonder if this is a reference to scp 3848.
Thanks for the extra credit Mr. V! If you get any flack from the scientologists, I've got your back!
Just got my student loans paid off, love me Archons, love me fifth world.
Your correction makes only some sense to me, but I think you mean what we can see with the naked eye comes from very close? (according to google, most objects we can see are relatively hear however the value is all over the place seen between 1000ly and 10,000ly on just the first page of results). This still wouldn't prevent the effect of seeing "dead stars" as it were - tho the occurence rate is low enough that it could be very possible we don't see any with the naked eye - with various telescopes and specialized space-telescopes though, we can see much further, and that indeed means we can see stars that have already collapsed, changed form, gone supernova, and etc, because we are still seeing that light as it was when it was emitted, which functionally allows us to see back in time.
We've actually learned quite a bit about the early universe this way. The further we look, the further back in time - I think Hank Green had a whole 3-part yts/tt responding to someone having an existential crisis about this that's real neat. The occurrence rate of, shall I call them "undead stars" is about 0.0028% - idrk what I'm talking about as this is just some cursory googling and what I remember picking up from various sources over the years as a pop science weakling. There are also a handful of objects we can sometimes see with the naked eye that are quite far away, like andromeda (although whether you could classify that as a singular object is its own discussion).
anyway, the story does describe people seeing a star dying, so there is some discrepancy there I suppose.
EXTRA CREDIT RULES SO MUCH thank you volgun the ep was awesome as always 👏
Just what I need. I love falling asleep to story time
Love the extra credit stuff, but the whole “the oldest light we’ve ever seen is only hundreds of years old” is incorrect, which is kind of hilariously ironic given the whole “they must be slightly uneducated” comment.
A* A* sounds like it likely references Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of The Milky Way.
Wow! Now THIS is a well written SCP! Very well written.
I love how this gives so much great world building and really documents the real things the Foundation does. And I love when the Foundation collaborates with irl civilian or governmental agencies..
Also, loved the extra content at the end. I hope its a reoccurring thing?
EXTRA CREDIT ROCKS. Never stop please :) Helps make this great content even better
I really loved the extra credit on this one. Really brought more light to this SCP.
If you are considering doing extra credit for previous SCPs, I feel SCP-093 Red Sea Object would be perfect
This is one of my favorite SCP’s. And the 1000’ series really starts to pin down the sparse, strange, horror of the SCP universe.
Please keep these Extra Credits going. It helps a lot.
So, this was another amazing article, you're killing it Volgun!
But I did want to suggest possibly indenting the Extra Credit to denote sections that are taking verbatim from the original text. For example around the 42:00 mark there's the statement "Access to the document is to be... ... or an O5 personnel." Or "Did you know that... and then become like the stars!"
It's not a massive change, but it'd be helpful I think. The change in voice is an excellent touch for the purely auditory watchers, but I honestly get a tad impatient and read ahead occasionally.
LMAO I was not expecting the Simon Cowell impression, well done
The Liverpudlian you did at the end was top notch as well
I have always wondered if that “A * A *” was a memetic trigger meant to do something to a Fifthist reading the article, like a trap to expose them.
There is no godamn way you called those folk uneducated right before saying the oldest Starlight we have is 100 years old.
I wanna know what that favor the foundation did for the FCC, that shit has me intrigued to the max
i was just done watching the last week's video a few minutes ago and now i have more! keep up the good work!
It’s always interesting actually coming across origin entries to some of these SCP entries. Never thought too much about the Fifthist but now have a big interest as it’s part of that memetic stuff I love about the SCP multiverses. I thought there was a parallel to Scientology but this definitely goes in a Memetic direction!
As for the church it seems someone thought it was a good idea to publish this book only to realize its effects were cause a lot more trouble then planned. Hence why they helped with information suppression. This book is obviously designed to rewrite the mind into what the church desires, but hides it as a self help book. Often the case with any cult wanting new members. Would like to speculate more but I don’t know a lot of the fifthest church so definitely would love to hear more entries on this topic
From what I gather, when the first big convergence failed due to Foundation interference, the Fifth Church decided to cut its losses and abort.
I actually didn’t make the connection between the Fifth Church and Scientology until they brought it up in the Extra Credit section. Good thing you decided to do that!
43:24 I hate to nitpick your nitpicking, but I don't see what's wrong with the back cover statement? There's no star besides the sun close enough to us that we can observe it in anything remotely close to real time. E.g. when we watched Sanduleak -69 202 go supernova in 1987, it didn't happen as we were watching it, SN 1987A occurred 168,000 years ago, but we only knew that SK -69 202 was dead in 1987. There are probably a handful more like it that we'll observe before the end of the year, but they've all been dead for millennia without us knowing.
I'm guessing you mean with the naked eye though? Even then, we can see stars over 16,000 lightyears away, so doing the math with ~3 SNs occuring in our galaxy per century, as a ratio of galaxy to area around Earth up to a radius of 16,000 ly, you still get an expected value of 1-2 stars that have gone supernova in the past 16,000 years, visible to the naked eye, that we won't know about until some time in the next 16,000 years. Obviously this is lazy math, not taking into account that space isn't flat (or is it? 🤔) and the density function of BSGs in that radius. But still, given we're in a relatively dense part of the galaxy, that EV is probably higher, if anything.
Just going to put this one out there, 'space' isn't flat. If it were, all math would cease to make sense. But, if you have the time, check out Mage the Ascension lore on the Virtual Adepts. Their whole thing is about breaking the laws of physics in a way that almost makes sense in that kind of model.
Extra credit is awesome mate keep it up
Also the audio fade out made me think my headphones were fucked
