This is a leap - Guinan indeed left an echo of herself in the Nexus but she did not die. Kirk died. How can we know that the echo of a dead person remains in the Nexus? | |

| Oct 5, 2015 at 18:18 | comment | added | DevSolar | @user001: Check "Roche limit", "spaghettification" (yes, that is an actual term), "accretion disk". Just to name some of the gravity-related problems that half-baked sci-fi tends to skip on. | |
| Oct 5, 2015 at 16:27 | comment | added | user001 | @DevSolar I know but gravity should only affect you in relation so another object. In free fall who knows? Not dying would be good | |
| Oct 5, 2015 at 12:51 | comment | added | DevSolar | @user001: I never cease to wonder how people come up with new ideas of what might happen to "yourself" at the event horizon. Given that we haven't solved the problem of, you know, not dying. | |
| Oct 5, 2015 at 9:11 | comment | added | user001 | Ha, it's actually like a new black hole theory out there. One where you pass through the event horizon unharmed and a copy (or original, however you want to look at it) remains at the boundary getting pummelled by the effects of gravitational distortion. Only considered it now. It doesn't disobey the law of matter/information conservation, as they can not interact (the inner one can never leave) | |
| Oct 5, 2015 at 7:07 | comment | added | PointlessSpike | Guinan also said that she couldn't leave- Picard asked her to go back him and help him but she couldn't. An echo of them will exist in the Nexus, but no-one outside of it will see that. | |
| Oct 4, 2015 at 15:36 | comment | added | Valorum | Guinan explictly calls her 'nexus-self' an "echo'" of her true self. | |
