I don't believe that anyone could have caught this one on the board, but for all of you out there taking electrophysics in physics class, the sign you made (a trident like shape) stands for luminocity (I know im a nerd) in the equation E= \|/ / A, where E is illumination of any sorts, and A is a measure of a uniformly illuminated surface, with the \|/ standing for a "luminous flux", which may be hard to explain to some of you (or you already know). Basically, they're just calculating real time physics and lighting in a digital game world, which is something that fascinates me as much as the game itself, and in this case it may be a realtime estimation of the amount of light given off by an interior light in a building.
Or maybe its just the trident symbol from Halo 2, who knows, but I know that this may be a sign of things to come in next-gen games, where real estimations of luminoscity and light capacity are fused into a digital world, which would mean actual "physics" in the sense of study type physics in High School and College, in a game world... if im anywhere near right to what you meant on that board Bungie.
Besides that, im gonna chill till Halo 3 comes out... actually its pretty late so i gotta go sleep... the rest of you take chill pills, slowly read what was in my post again, and in the update, and think about what i just said...
