I just made stuff up about the Eternal Plains. It was an idea I had for a level but it never pulled through so I put in Caedis' recollection of level they climbed in the past.

"sigma" is the greek symbol that is used to denote "standard deviation" in science and mathematics.avouleance2nd said:
The problem with subatomic particles is that they cannot observe them directly in most cases. instead, they need to observe the effect the particle would have to predict the existence of particle itself. A good example of this is the neutrino, which cannot be detected directly because of it's speed and ability to pass through most forms of matter with ease (it would take 2 years of a neutrino passing through lead before it would be stopped) Instead, they send it through water and watch for the effect it causes (Cherenkov radiation) to "see" it.
The Higgs is even harder to detect, because it has no active effect (it "gives" mass to matter). So, what CERN did, is that collided millions of particles millions of times, which split the particles they shot and recombined them into other, different, particles - the Higgs included. They couldn't control what they made, so they just let probability do what it does best. They shot tons of particles and measured the results so that they could look for the distribution of high energy particles. Because of the theory of the standard model (an equation that predicts what particles exist), they knew what the distribution should look like if the Higgs existed and what it should look like if it didn't. Then, they mapped the data they got from the LHC and tried to match it up to what they predicted.
When they say they "predict the Higgs-Boson's existence within 5 sigma" that means that the variation of their results is so close, they have 5 sigma's (standard deviations) of "buffer." That means that, statistically, there is only about a 1 in 2 million chance they are wrong. The reason that 5 sigma is so significant is that 5 sigma is the accepted mathematical-variation-standard for particle physics (i.e. they can say they found the Higgs-Boson with such a degree of certainty that they can use the data as scientific proof)
I actually want to reboot the game after this level. I'll just have everyone rest at the next large city. If you have a current character, you can keep them or make a new one. It'll also give other players a chance to join. The people who have yet to DM will be set on priority.
Also, no talking giant spider companion/mount for us.

A reboot you say?! Preposterous! Blasphemy! A good idea!
Or you could have an "arc" sort of deal and since this is what, the third arc? We can add/remove people every arc. And every level we have a new arc but I reboot is fine.

Thinking about a reboot? Uh, I-eh, I'm just gonna let others talk about that before I jump on that.
Not gonna lie, I was kinda planning on killing Vertias and Zavier at some point. I chose to spare Stonefuse because NastoK just got his internet back so he's probably busy getting reacquainted.
And don't worry about mounts Asc, I have something in mind.
