Title: The Physics of R'lyeh
Post by: Trippy on October 31, 2012, 05:40:37 PM
tl;dr Physicist writes paper showing how the fantastical descriptions of R'lyeh can be explained by a bubble of localized spacetime curvature.

Does that mean Cthulhu is real? You be the judge.

This is pretty fantastic.

I approve of the fact that the paper is written in-universe rather than being written as a "lol, Cthulhu" thing even though that's totally what it is.
