Correcting 52 Steps: Week 7

Another poster, another thread wrote:Regarding 52 Steps: Week Seven, it's not a loan shark that Booster is fielding a call from; it's Manthrax forshadowing/threatening his later appearance in the issue. Double-check the dialogue.


Not the only major mistake, either.

THE 52 STEPS: WEEK SEVEN[/B] ]
And back to the tale of our castaways (who're here for a long, long time), I'm concerned about the passage of time on this weird planet in elsewhere. Note that on the pages with the castaway heroes, there are no date markers as there are in the rest of the book, and while a week may have passed on our world, it seems that not even a few hours have yet passed on the planet. And yet Adam has a full beard by the time of this issue, though he was only stubble last issue, if I remember correctly.
Yeah, the planet is rotating slower around its star. Time passes the same (except it is daylight for weeks or even longer) for our stranded heroes. Think of our moon: one side always faces the sun. This planet isn't quite like that, but its close.

That first quote you quoted is from me. I didn't feel the need to make my own thread.

:-)

A second is a second is a second. Earth time is measured based on some system some ancient ppl developed based on the infinitely-minimal changing (leap years!) rotation of our planet around the sun. A second/day/week/year of time passing here is the same amount of time passing anywhere else (physicists will disagree around black holes or somecrap like that I surmise) since it's an EARTH second/day/week/year that passes on any other planet. Sure, the sun might not set, but time is constant.

By the way, since we're having fun here and I don't think anyone has ever mentioned it yet... nah, I'll post my comment in the Week 6 thread. Check there.

Wasn't it the Babylonians that worked out our planets rotation and years and that.
But anyway, a second is a second everywhere. Except for some parts of space, where space/time gets distorted.
