View Full Version : World Records and physics changes

I understand some people are using the High nose exploit to get faster top speeds/laps on the winged cars. Will the world record times be reset when/if the physics are changed to stop this exploit?

*runs* :P

Well, it will depend on whether it's possible to beat those times or not. If the new physics engine makes the cars faster, the records dont need to me deleted.
We'll see ;)

We know the location of the car when it crosses the finishing line, so it is impossible that we know the time at which it crosses the line, so the worldrecords are all meaningless anyway. (to be read in a Heisenberg manner)

Yes, because all other replays will go out of sync. They're not valid anymore with the new physics so you can't just leave them up there.

Next question:
With the new physics introductions, is it going to be colder at night than outside?

If a Car starts in a garage yet nobody is around to here it. Does it make a sound? (To be read in a Nitzche kinda way.)

Talking about avatars, can you make me a new one please ?! :D
"..constant, relentless taunting.." Pfff... :noob: !

I feel like I've missed out on a hilarious German joke now

Germans and hilarious in 1 same sentence ? lol

It depends on what the car is starting... More information please. (to be read in a pedantic tone).

The whole "if nobody is around to hear it - does it make a sound" thing is pointless anyway because the sound waves will effect other sound waves and cause wave interference which, in accordance with Einsteins theory of special relativity, will relativilistically distort time within the garage when viewed from outside the garage by a very small fraction. The distortion in time, albiet relative, according to chaos theory will effect the garage's spatial relativity to other adjacent matter - and adjacent matter thereof.

What this all means is if a car starts an engine in a garage and nobody is there to hear it, it does indeed still make a sound, because courtesy of the butterfly effect there's a good chance that the direction of a major storm front will be effected.

Some storms can kill tens of thousands of people, I therefore recommend that you do not try the car starting in a garage test.

Screw physics. We're getting all quantum and paradoxical here. Someone mentioned butterflys, now the whole world is gunna blow up . . .

I once found out what the butterfly effect REALLY is:


Did you know that a cyclone can make a butterfly fall over even when it's 10 miles away?

Did you know that 3 bites from a horse can kill a hornet?

Yes. (In a Hawking-like voice. He would really take a long time for this simple answer, I guess. Partly because of his poor physiological skills :( and partly he might think about the whole physics of LFS for a while. :tilt:)

I'm wondering, how many physicists are playing LFS, since there have already Albert Einstein and Heisenberg been mentioned in this thread ...

You're saying then that, as the nose is higher, you earn some tenths in the lap? I thought that the game uses only one pointer in the car, so if it's a bit more to the front, the lap would start earlier and finish earlier...
