Let me clarify...you CAN Travel to other solar system... Shannow Send a noteboard - 21/11/2009 03:39:36 AM
Planet hopping, which uses 72 channelers, may get you to Pluto. From there, you're more or less screwed: the next planet is millions of times further than your previous jump.


A relatively small circle - less than 13 channelers can reach any planet in our solar system.

A circle of 72 channelers can reach another solar system. Then they can planet hop across the galaxy. It is impossible to cross intergalactic space by Travelling. Even if you start at the planet at the farthest edge of our galaxy system and aim for the closest one in the next galaxy.

All if the above comes directly from RJ. He was surprisingly detailed on this. Clearly it is a mechanism he has thought through in some detail before.

If the Forsaken really wanted to defeat the Light - gateways at the bottom of the ocean... Shannow - 20/11/2009 02:02:59 PM 2134 Views
I've actually thought that would be a great way to make a power plant. Narg - 20/11/2009 02:48:21 PM 1135 Views

The Forsaken don't think like that Sidious - 20/11/2009 02:57:27 PM 1176 Views
I specifically referred to Ishamael, who shares none of those motivations with the other Forsaken... Shannow - 20/11/2009 03:11:26 PM 1379 Views
What in the world... outer space?? This is fantasy, not sci-fi *NM* BlackAdder - 20/11/2009 03:08:26 PM 580 Views
RJ has stated that channelers can Travel to other planets, even other solar systems... Shannow - 20/11/2009 03:12:37 PM 1093 Views
I didn't expect him to answer that question, it was just something I was wondering about Ryan - 20/11/2009 04:06:53 PM 1128 Views
OK... BlackAdder - 20/11/2009 05:15:32 PM 976 Views

No. Only if the knott is deliberately tied loosely... Shannow - 20/11/2009 03:20:18 PM 989 Views
This brings up an "Evil Wins, What Next?" scenario I've always wondered about Sandwich - 20/11/2009 03:39:14 PM 1147 Views

The DO doesn't have the motivations of the forsaken, he doesn't think like a human... Napoleon62 - 22/11/2009 03:38:15 PM 1120 Views
They would have to know the bottom of the ocean very well to create. *NM* LlordNakcor - 20/11/2009 05:02:50 PM 491 Views
Wouldn't be too hard, given Rand's trick. *NM* BlackAdder - 20/11/2009 05:12:22 PM 606 Views

You're kidding right? LewsTherin10 - 20/11/2009 05:31:36 PM 1041 Views
Yeah, this has actually been discussed Marshall - 20/11/2009 05:50:21 PM 1227 Views

Gateway "magic" accounts for this, or most gateways would have STRONG breeze Asha'man Warder - 20/11/2009 06:43:44 PM 1115 Views
Very conducive places, the bottom of the sea and outer space... fionwe1987 - 20/11/2009 07:01:56 PM 4473 Views
Knee jerk disagreement without thinking beyond: "I don't like the idea so let's flame it..." Shannow - 20/11/2009 07:12:38 PM 1279 Views
Actually... Rand al'Thor - 20/11/2009 09:15:39 PM 1101 Views
And your response is even sillier ideas? Think for more than three minutes before responding again. fionwe1987 - 20/11/2009 11:08:59 PM 1016 Views
I must say... this has been highly entertaining! *NM* BlackAdder - 21/11/2009 01:59:51 AM 1039 Views
Yeah... I've been chuckling at this whole thread Sidious - 21/11/2009 10:23:51 AM 1151 Views

Great question. These fundamental issues are the REAL challenges to be overcome, yes... Shannow - 21/11/2009 07:50:46 AM 1095 Views
Thanks guttering flame - 21/11/2009 08:03:28 AM 1107 Views
Fluids CAN move across gateways on their own. We saw it with the draft of wind in tGS. *NM* BlackAdder - 21/11/2009 01:32:46 PM 562 Views
Oh, and regarding the new Travelling skill Nynaeve mentions in tGS... Shannow - 21/11/2009 08:03:45 AM 1109 Views
Ah, thanks guttering flame - 21/11/2009 08:10:48 AM 1010 Views
Actually, I just reread that passage, and now I'm confused again... Shannow - 21/11/2009 08:30:17 AM 1028 Views
Its pretty simple... fionwe1987 - 21/11/2009 08:07:14 PM 978 Views
You don't learn a place when you Travel TO it... Shannow - 21/11/2009 08:23:11 PM 1063 Views
The same issue again... fionwe1987 - 21/11/2009 08:58:37 PM 1008 Views
No, you're wrong, and here are the quotes... Shannow - 22/11/2009 06:51:06 AM 1221 Views
That might mean nothing... fionwe1987 - 22/11/2009 06:37:33 PM 1089 Views
That does seem inconsistent... Legolas - 21/11/2009 09:25:52 PM 1298 Views
They might have shared Gateways, so only those who wove them know the area? *NM* Marshall - 21/11/2009 10:00:04 PM 506 Views
That has to be the first sensible question broached in this thread... Legolas - 21/11/2009 09:18:59 PM 1270 Views
Since Shannow seems to think disagreeing with him is EVIL... fionwe1987 - 21/11/2009 08:38:55 PM 1039 Views

Surely Moridin could channel enough of the True Power... *NM* BlackAdder - 21/11/2009 01:19:05 PM 473 Views
Moridin cannot channel any more of the True Power than he can of the One Power. Shannow - 21/11/2009 01:58:30 PM 951 Views
He managed to do great fits with the power he had. guttering flame - 21/11/2009 05:12:52 PM 946 Views
