 November 28, 2014 - 5:59pm | so. I'm thinking the inertia screen isn't some force field that litterly effects initia. I'm wondering if it is instead some kind of field that simply is a classical force field like a physical barrier of hard light or something and it is not some kind of proto Gravity tech field that pushes away physical objects. So in the threads about g force it would not be helpful How do you see these screens? ----------------------------------------------- |
 November 28, 2014 - 6:58pm | That's how I see them as well. I think of the force fields from Dune (the original movie) when I'm imagining inertia screens. I personally don't want them to be something that affects intertia and a proto gravity field as I think that such a technology would have a lot of implications that I don't want. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

 November 28, 2014 - 10:14pm | Agreed I also made my views of the inertia screen by watching Dune, the one with Sting in it. However, I do not mix in the slow blade stuff. The screen just slows stuff down that enters its field. The screen could be used to help keep a character from taking bad bumps and bashes from changing direction at high-G. -iggy |

I think there is even mention that an inertia screen will help absorb damage ina vehicle crash. Time flies when your having rum. Im a government employee, I dont goof-off.

November 30, 2014 - 9:19am | slowing stuff down... how? That to me sounds an aweful like gravity tech. I'm proposing it is just more a hard field that stops bullets like a shield... prehaps by changing the air itself into a hard mass. The main point of this is to expalain them in a way that isn't proto-artifical gravity. In this youtube clip of the slow blade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkQFhPJuxgk the screens don't seem to be slowing things down as much as deflecting them. Like the shield must be detecting the speed of an incoming object and hardening before it can penetrate the area protected. My guess is the "slow blade" is a way to explain how things like air can get in. I would think having a ptorective bubble around you that isn't specifically pushing things away from you would still help if you get banged around inside a vehicle or ship. ----------------------------------------------- |
