>>5271004>>5271003I would argue that while this is sound based on our understanding of physics, who knows if it is actually what the true scientific principle of the universe operates.
Orikan makes a good quote about how actually astrology, the use of signs and zodiacs, was correct and the orderly mathematics of celestial bodies can be used to predict and manipulate the future such as wars, victory or defeat. A scientific version of the Tarrot card. But most primitive races simply lacked any true technological distinction to perform the calculations of celestial bodies and instead wrongly attributed it to shapes and figures and constellations.
>Now, atop his astromancer’s tower, he watched the stars – sensing gravity’s pull on the transit of planets, its infinite algebraic possibility influencing even the smallest events in the galaxy. The astronomers of old, stupid and superstitious as they had been, had guessed at this connection. But their pathetic spirituality had little to do with the scientific precision Orikan now used to chart the pull of gravity and flow of particles, the bending of space-time around sucking black holes, the chain of bizarre causality that could turn a breath on one continent into a typhoon on another. And those lines of power, light, energy and time tended to snare around certain objects.So basically, just as a Techpriest might be more advanced than todays best scientists, possibly the Necrons understanding of time and space might defy even our own logic. Consider how their Inertialess Engines manage to achieve the impossible.
Tbh, if QM told us that if we could discover or get started on Interialess Drive tech with technomancy I'd switch votes in a heartbeat. Eitherway, I suspect if we do go with Chronomancy the very next thing we have to get is Technomancy and/or Datamancy. Whichever helps us unlock the ancient secrets.
Theoretically maybe Voidmancy might be the better one to understand Inertialess drives.
