Eventually, she stopped thinking.
Wtf this is terrifying
Is it though?
You’ve died, what’s there to be afraid of? You’re no longer a bag of chemicals what is there to feel?
In the comic you are still conscious. Forever. Not being able to move in any direction, the universe around you slowly drifting away. You will be swallowed by the darkness between the stars for a hundred billion years, all the while fully aware that you are completely and utterly alone with your own thoughts.
This implies there’s an absolute center to the universe relative to which the earth moves but spirits do not.
Or you just maintain your velocity at death. With no other forces, that’s the way you head forever
But this character died stationary on the floor. Unless it’s the Earth moving away from her as part of its normal orbit, in which case she’ll get to visit it again soon
No because the sun and the earth are always moving in a line and an orbit in addition to their orbit.
The actual absolute position would resemble a curving helix or something. Nothing in the universe is ever in the same general location twice for our current understanding. Everything is moving.
There absolutely is a coordinate system like that, in the comic it would be the spirit’s coordinate system with them at the center. There actually is an absolute center of the universe and it is you and me, and everything else in the universe is at the center of it’s universe (depending on your definition of the universe). That’s what special relativity is all about, each thing is at the center of it’s own universe and you have to translate any measurements between coordinate systems.
All the comic implies is that a sprit doesn’t follow null geodesics, but that’s general relativity.
There actually is an absolute center of the universe and it is you and me
I think that’s the observable universe, not just a specific definition of the universe. I believe the consensus is that the observable universe is only a part of the universe centered on each observer, and there’s no center to the “full” universe.
I think they simply became totally massless and is no longer affected by gravity.
Yea, you are right, I didn’t take the two extra seconds to think about it.
Thank you, just what I needed. More existential horror. 💀👍🏻
