I don't know when you'll next get to log on.

Me and GD12 are considering technologies that might involve Brans-Dicke theory: GD12 tells me you two were working on an ultra-relativistic weapon that created black holes but couldn't find a way to accelerate. Brand-Dicke theory would allow us to create a disparity of the gravitational constant, which I think at high enough momentum, would create the black hole. Basically a trips say, a starship into a runaway pitch drive. GD12 wanted to bring back false vacuum weapons, I've discussed how it would be impossible to prevent it's expansion, and that universe might not even be metastable, but he seems to really want it and I don't want to be mean. But then I considered what might happen if the false vacuum was sealed in a collapsing wormhole (or something like it), to create a Pp wave metric, which are a solution in the Brans-Dicke theory. The problem here is that there would be no need for a false vacuum in the first place, but of course there is the rule of cool.
 * Pitch drive weapon
 * PP-wave of death

However, Brans-Dicke theory in quite a change from General Relativity, since you studied relativity (I think you said you did), can you think of any problems or contradictions it might cause with currently accepted physical models we have for the SporeWikiverse? I haven't found any.
