No one exploded like that! You're silly.

Pronouns can be confusing, but they are often very important to people, and the forum shows which pronouns to use for people who care about them, so it's better to make sure to use the right ones.

(In other worlds, ordinators have been more successful than in ours. My friend from university would be excited.) Do we have the same fundamental particles, in the worlds where there are fundamental particles? I know MagicPhD mentioned a particle, the "mageon", which sound similar to Rusakov particles, but not identical. Do your worlds all have protons (relatively medium-sized positively charged particles), neutrons (similarly sized uncharged particles), electrons (very very small negatively charged particles), and Rusakov particles (relatively large particles, attracted to each other)? Some of them might go by different names between worlds.

We have protons, neutrons, and electrons. I don't remember hearing about any fundamental particles significantly larger than protons and neutrons; the closest thing I can think of would be atoms, which are made out of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and which tend to cluster on large scales due to gravity.

That's bizarre. You might be able to check if you have them: if you take a photogram on film and surround the negative with a magnesium-titanium alloy or something similar to stop it from being over-exposed, and mix the gelatin the silver nitrate is suspended in with tree oil, Rusakov particles should show up as specks of light, especially around adults and things made by people. I'll attach more specific instructions: Emulsion Formula.txt (211 B)

...Okay, that's weird. I don't get any specks of light, but there's a soft aura around Linking panels. I have no idea what to make of that.

Oh that's exciting! Linking panels are like windows to other worlds, which take people to the worlds when they are touched, right? In my readings of the window I was able to measure, it seemed that Rusakov particles were being drawn into the window and so the window was actually darker than its surroundings, although this might have changed if the window had lasted long enough to reach an equilibrium. I've never heard of something glowing like that! I wonder if it's a result of how it was made, or of an ongoing process. It's odd that you aren't seeing specks of light though. I'm not entirely sure how your tradition of spoilers works, but here are some experiments you might try: Do the materials for creating the linking books, such as Ink, appear differently in photos developed with the Asriel emulsion? If you can find someone in the process of creating a linking book and take several photos of their progress, or a film, are there any changes in the moments near the appearance of the linking panel? It's rather morbid and possibly insensitive, but if you can find someone willing to be photogrammed as they die, there is usually a very high concentration of Rusakov particles where someone's soul dissolves, appearing on most developed pictures as a blob of overexposed whiteness.
Also, I have a Rusakov counter, which gives a count of particles passing through its tube, and a Rusakov tracer, which is a small electric holder for a piece of paper over carbon paper, and a net of small metal balls. If there is a piece of paper between the carbon paper and the net when the holder is turned on, it makes marks showing the direction of the flow of particles over the area of the paper. I do not have any Dyne, and the OTC seems to be unavailable, but if eXchange eNgine can mint them, I am willing to mint enough Dyne to lend them to you, assuming there is something you could trade for it, and we can come up with a different set of descriptors to send it back, if you would like. It should also be possible to describe them as a Dust counter, or a Rusakov or Dust detector, and a Dust tracer, or a Rusakov or Dust Mapper, respectively. The counter is black-painted metal with regions of unpainted grey metal, the tracer's holder is olive green, and its net is grey metal. The counter weighs 2.18 kg, and the tracer (with both the holder and the net) weighs 5.72 kg. I am willing to part with either or both for two to four weeks, depending on the experiments being made with them.

It doesn't count as spoilers if you're as confused as I am. :)
The materials don't seem to do anything interesting on their own. The aura does kind of make the panel look like it's darker, but it's more like it's backlit than like it's actually absorbing the light. I'll look into your other suggestions, but I doubt I'll have results any time soon.
I wouldn't expect the specialist equipment to be very informative given the weird behavior of the photograph, but I guess it might be worth poking around a bit. What kind of metal is used in the net and balls in the tracer?

We are equipped with a remote Dyne minter. Please note that as a security measure, each of the two parties to an exchange must contribute half the Dyne.

Ahrotahn oh, good to know! I wonder how much variance there is in things like that. Hopefully I'll be able to measure more windows and see if any of them behave like your linking panels, or if there are other differences between them. Good luck in your investigations! The balls are made of magnesium surrounding silver copper cores, and the net is an aluminum alloy, I believe. eXchange eNgine, thank you! If I do need to exchange anything, I can probably ask my friend to help me finish my work while sleeping or something.
