Being turrets, I think I just have the perception that they are scary.

I wonder if it would be possible (not necessarily plausible) to create a gravity telescope. :chin:'

ADDITION:
A quick search indicates that it is theoretically possible!

Not when they're cowering in fear when you try to pick them up! Valve made the Frankenturrets' eyes wide open when they're scared too.

To Alberia, awesome.
As for a gravity telescope, what would you use it for kevinjh?

A gravity telescope? *rubs eyes*
I thought I hadn't gone to sleep yet, what's one of those?

A telescope that uses a source of gravity (generally, a black hole) as a lens to focus light in much the same way refracting telescopes do it. It has the disadvantage of being nearly impossible to aim but likely provides some of the best images.

As for the usage, it would be used to satisfy the For Science! urges.

They should create a Dr. Frankenstein award for discoveries in which the discoverer regrets discovering the discovery but are cheered by the scientific community in general. I would have made more creatures if I was Dr. Frankenstein

Ok, I think it's too late for me to try and make sense of that one, for it is almost 3am and I am knackered

So goodnight, Dr Frankenstein Award Winner :)

With it, the Clean Chatroom will always be clean, even if physics and utility suffer unfortunate accidents and ends up in the fictitious mythology section...
