I'm no science guy, but I was just wondering, if Gah Lak Tus is a group of robots 100,000 miles long and not one solid mass, would it still have a collective gravity like was suggested by Reed in Ultimate Extinction #1? How is that possible?

Depends on how big the ships are, how close the are together, and how they interact. If they move as one, then it is probable
Think of it this way, the Earth is nothing more than trillions and trillions grains of sand, each interacting with each other, causing gravitational forces, and magnectic fields to keep them all together.
Hopefully, that example explained it.

Every object in the universe has gravity. Anything that has matter. The way gravity is explain is that the earth pulls on you and you also pull on the earth, but since you are significantly smaller it doesn't effect the earth at all. And if the robots have an appropriate mass to them then yes they would have gravity.E said:

Isn't Houde suppose to be a mad scienctist?

As I understand it, each robot has its own gravity.
They all pull each at other, so they would largely cancel each other. I guess they'd have a collective and detectable gravity field, but it couldn't be much stronger than that of an asteroid belt.
Should Earth send a spaceship toward Gah Lak Tus, the gravity would be mostly negligible when plotting an approach course and when considering the amount of energy required to leave its gravity field. IMO, anyway.

Actually, when E posed the question, I thought, "Well, essentially, the Earth is a bunch of molecules all next to each other. At the galaxy is many stars. If there were enough in close proximity, they'd create gravity."
Which is what Houde said. Makes perfect sense to me.

They aren't that big - what are they, 30 feet? I can't remember where that was said but I'm pretty sure it was.

Well E, to answer your question, it depends on the rotation of the parameter on Gah Lak Tus's axis of its orbit. Comparing its size, density and location of squirrels to the Earths continuim quantum frequency. Take into consideration the probability of mass radiation transmorphication and the formation of cosmic dangles. This could play a huge part in the gravitational output.
Taking all this into account, the answer to your question is, in fact, Eleven.

Well I guess so, something 100,000 miles long, depending on the density it does seem possible, but I doubt it. I thinkn they just heard that gravity is equal to the amount of mass and ran with it.E said:

I thought it was 42? Maybe I should check my math, but I'm pretty sure the answer is 42.ProjectX2 said:

If HHGG was good for anything, it was telling me that 42 is the answer to EVERYTHING.
It's also one of the six numbers in Lost.

This entire thread is strangely reminiscent of public education in America. Go U.S. of A. Whoo-hoo!
