I believe I'm permabanned from SDN now... it took me less than an hour. Beat that!

Based on what, TJHairball's assumptions?! We can't tell what would be small to the people of the star wars galaxy. We can tell, however, just what big means to them. But, we can't use that for any basis. That'd be stupid. Besides, small to them is probably very huge to us, slower-than-light speeds are really faster-than-light speeds for them and fire cracker sized explosions to them are enough to destroy a star system because the big boom stick is colored green.

It easily happens when you bring in a versus debate. When you want to make it the ultimate patheticness, it should be about star trek and star wars.

Babylon 5 versus Andromeda wouldn't measure up?

Nah. Fivers v whatever andromeda fans are (Rommies? I don't know) isn't as extensive and doesn't have the same mockery tied to it. There's been so much attached to Trek-Wars that nothing can compare for a very very long time...unless you want to count my pro-Trek/anti-The Culture arguments. :-P

There have been people for trek and for wars that have thought I was nuts for making them, though it is people on a certain board that has been named that have publicly derided me for them. I've found their flabbergastedness to that stance of mine to be very good for giving me belly laughs that the laughs almost hurt.

I have attacked Wong as completely untrained in philosophy and horribly wrong, as well as being completely ridiculous in his posturing in claiming that nobody with a real science degree would disagree with him.

I pretty damn well have a real science degree. Ergo, he's flat out wrong.

Don't you know? It has been decided that you are a liar. They figured it out so convincingly that they didn't actually need to have any evidence contradicting what you've said.

As those of us in science circles know, that's the best way to come up with a scientifically valid conclusion.
 
Exactly. For those that don't know (you have been in a cave for far too long to not know), fuel cells of thin cylindrical and hyper hard plastic are injected with ultra dense streams of tapioca. Once inserted into the handle of a lightsabre, the tapioca is released into a chamber with the excitation crystal, which makes the tapioca mass expand and causes the molecules to vibrate. The excited tapioca is shot to the emission end. That 'sheeesh' sound when a lightsabre blade extends is from a fast moving stream of tapioca being shot out, but the field generators are also fighting back against that force, so that tapioca isn't flown all over the place. The tapioca is constantly moved around the length of the blade, going back to the excitation crystal before being shot out again. The thickness of the tapioca when it's shot out is still so thick that you can't even see it flowing.

None of this explains the hum or its savory deliciousness.
 
You quoted it. It hum's because of the energy from the excitation crystal makes it expand and vibrate. That vibration hits the material of the lightsabre, giving it the metallic hum, aside from the mechanism for keeping the tapioca from escaping. The deliciousness comes from the additives that are either savory or sweet to the normal tapioca recipe.
 
Well, since there is limited movie canon evidence on all the parts of the lightsabre, you can make you own with the added feature of the excitation crystal adding extra energy to the molecules of the tapioca, which in turn stimulate the sweet and savory receptors in the tongue and mouth because of how it is vibrating.
