That's your own interpretation of things that aren't in the quote you showed.
I mean they made a game by creating an universe using maths as the basis rendered by voxels .. How the heck are they supposed to explain it without compairing to a real life equivalent ?
Man I been trying to go down this avenue for like an hour. Maybe you'll have more luck, but I wouldn't recommend it.
There is no need for personal attacks. Some confusion has been caused by multiple conversations so I will start over.
In this quote
They claim that in order to simulate green skies they had to redesign the periodic table to create particles that would diffract light at just the right wavelength.
I have cited several sources and explained that diffraction CANNOT CAUSE GREEN SKIES on any planet, in any situation. If you want the science explanation why, please see my posts on the previous page, which include sources.
Sky color is caused by Rayleigh scattering.
Therefore, at the time of the quote, the quote was a lie. They never simulated physics in order to generate sky color.
I hope that makes sense, I am actually just trying to explain optics which I am passionate about.
It wasn't intended to be a personal attack. I apologize! I'm just genuinely trying to understand why you don't understand.
Newtonian physics, okay? Previous to this post, every time I mentioned it, it was ONLY referring to classical mechanics. This is because the other guy was doing the same thing.
So when you tell me you have proof that classical mechanics were NEVER in the game, I question it because you can NOT have that proof unless you have access to every previous builds of the game. It's entirely possible it was there at one point, and taken out for performance reasons. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that WERE the case, especially given how many performance issues the game currently has. I bet they had to cut a lot of desired features!
So that was a miscommunication between us. Oops!
...
Okay, back to sky colors. I understand when you say that is impossible for a sky to be green. I did not know that! That's interesting. Thank you for educating me!
Now, I'd argue that it's possible they tweaked the rules of their universe so that it WOULD allow for green skies. In fact, that's explicitly what Sean says. And we have evidence of that, with the green skies. (...are there green skies in the game?? Non blue at least!)
Is...that more clear? I hope it is. D: I'm really trying here, man. D: it's hard to keep up with ten different people jumping on everything I say without understanding the context. Especially from my phone lol
