Them knees got him ready to bust a fat nut.

 

[banjomarx]

exhibitionist madmen sounds about right

 

[LiAuN]

I thank you ever so much.

Myne might say it's difficult to explain, but it's actually really easy. She could just say the lightbulb works by the power of lightning passing through metal and leave it at that.

Yeah that's the explanation given in the LNs but she gets distracted and it ends up a big mess

Poor Ferdinand...

It’s…theoretically possible. I was gonna say it can’t work but they have spells to control air and fire so it’d be possible to keep a warm air bubble around the user.

Probably tried, but it either got too cold, air got to thin, or they ran out of mana. It's pretty far to our moon, even when it's directly overhead (about 248,000 miles). I doubt even Ferdinand could fly his magic beast stone that far in one go even without the other 2 problems (no air and no heat).

Mana armor does keep the user from getting cold so he’d probably just need air. Space is about 100 kilometers up. Not sure how fast high beasts go but I’ve seen estimates that the country is somewhere between the size of Argentina and Africa. Africa is about 7,500 km across. One character travels about half that distance in a day so that’d be a travel time of about 300 km/hour. So it’d take him 20 minutes to reach space And about 16 days to reach the moon. Though math isn’t my specialty

Surely in a magical society where ppl can fly (esp head priest), sm1 has to have tried flying to the moon?

You guys are probably mistaken. It's likely that the moon in that world isn't a place that can be travelled to or landed on. That is to say, there might not be a giant astral object orbiting the planet. Outer space might not exist. For all we know, the world might not even be round. Astronomy there doesn't work according to our logic.

In a Q&A fanbook, the author stated that the stars in the sky wander around aimlessly without a pattern, instead of being glued to their position in the rotating "vault" like on Earth. <-[World nature/physics spoiler]

As someone who has read the entire LN series and understands some things about that world, it's seems to me likely that the night sky was created for the experience of the night sky and is purely cosmetic.

 

[Noskal_Borg]

Me reading Ferdinand's bonus assessment:
No lies detected.
That sadly checks out far too much.

 

[Noskal_Borg]

yes but not to the degree you'd think, since they don't even understand flight they will not appreciate the scale of how much harder going to the moon is

Yeah, proving that you can will just lead to him wanting to plot a flight using a super-highbeast/building.

They could even put a special magic circle up there for teleporting in "air-tight highbeasts". An entire society could be built on their moon

Oh, well that's kinda sad. Makes me wonder if maybe electricity can't even work in Yurgenshmidt.

 

[Noskal_Borg]

To be truth thou, our current technology and culture would be viewed by people in the middle ages as black magic and insanity. Ferdinand's reaction to seeing it thru Myne's memories of her past life is very normal.

Yeah, in our past, even if you believe that scriptures are true, you would have to admit that divine beings revealing scriptures would be limited in would be limited in what or how they reveal information, simply because of these sorts of reactions. Even if you had a prophet see future inventions and perceive the workings of atoms and biological cells, they wouldn't be able to explain it even if they understood and were permitted to by their diety, at least not without getting burned as a witch.

Just saying some food for thought about symbolism and such.

Hard to say. Myne stumbles on some issues in the future when she tries to make color ink because the colors don't mix anywhere near what she'd expect. We later learn that it's because every ingredient has mana affinities that mix and match according to theology.
