(Discussion) Enworld Physics and World Concept

[Someone]

Is the elephant male or female?

There's four elephents. As to the question of male or female: do you really want to know?

Pratchett has four elephants. Here in Enworld, Enworphant carries the load alone.

I tend to think Enworphant is androgynous, and "he" is only used for convenience.

Heh. IIRC they were two males and two females.
I wouldn't make it too similar to Discworld though.

It´s important when it comes to bring more little elephants to the universe.

 

[Thels]

Uhh, that would still require a 2nd elephant, despite it's gender.

 

[Someone]

Maybe even carrying another world on its back. Then, the ones in the world on the female elephant´s back will have a rough time.

Enworphant is androgynous and immortal. There is no need to worry about baby elephants.

 

[Someone]

That solves a lot of problems regarding cosmopachidermology. If you still admit suggestions, you could make the world not to be carried by an elephant, but to be the elephant.

That means that if you walk long enough, you could end reaching, say, the head.

Since Gary likes the Enworphant so much , I'm going to use it to explain time incongruences.

Time flows because Enworphant eternally walks. Should it ever stop, everything would freeze in a stillness of death. As it walks, with every little step it takes reality vibrates, and it sends slow waves of time upon Enworld. On Enworld's surface these waves collide, creating small ripples in the tissue of time. Wherever smaller crests rise, time starts flowing faster; wherever they ebb, time slows as the place is slowly left behind.

Wha do you think of it? We could use this in many ways, ther could be enchanted forests where you go to be forgotten by the world, and busy cities whose artisans deliver craft in half the time, and also it would save us lots of headaches calculating if an adventurer can be back from his adventure to the tavern on the 3rd rather than the 5th of october.
