Some can come away from reading "War and Peace" thinking it a simple adventure story, while others can read the ingredients on a gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.

This is my theory Now what do you find most likely? You can't excuse time travel, I even supported it for awhile. But my theory has many more details and finds to back it up. There's just to much to be coincidence and replaced by OMG ITS REACH! And not even pretend to explain how it could happen (which it could).

You can post in either that thread or this one. Doesn't matter to me.

EDIT: Plus different colored suns. =P

Supernova? First of all thats before a sun goes super nova. Second of all a sun doesn't go from yellow to Blue in 20 years if at all.

O and you spelled retarded wrong...

JUST because the Suns are differently colored doesn't necessarily disprove the theory that the Halo 3 Legendary planet is Reach. I'm not saying I believe it is Reach. But think about this: what if the solar system shown has TWO Suns? One red/orange, one blue? I know that we probably haven't discovered a solar system with more than one Sun, but for those who take that argument - have we found freakin' bipedal aliens with advanced plasma weapons and Slipstream-travel capabilities? Last time I checked, that would be a "no." Again, I'm NOT saying I agree with the theory that Reach is the planet. I really couldn't care less actually; I'm trying to be surprised and speculation (especially THIS early) is pointless and tiresome. I'm just saying. Don't just discount the theory based on the fact that the Suns are differently colored. This is a science fiction story. Looking at other sci-fi (notably Star Wars), there's at least one solar system with two Suns (I'm not a Star Wars fanatic, but I'm pretty sure Tattoine was in a solar system with two Suns).

We have found systems with two stars. However, in the Halo universe, Reach's system has only one, orange colored star. Relatively the same size as Sol.

my idea is it's the planet 85 Pegasi-914A from ghost of onyx since tom said the sun was supposed to be a faint yellow sun but it was an electric boiling plasma blue sun and the legendary ending planet reminds me of this description. but that's my thearoy i will never think it is reach

*shakes head*


A sun dosen't go blue unless it has enough fuel. Blue is the hottest a sun gets (or white?). A sun like reaches wouldn't do that in 20 years. Because that would mean MC drifted towards it. If he went back in time it would still be yellow (obviously). If he just drifted towards there the planet would be glassed.

Dude I would be pissed if this thread got locked because of your stupidity.


And yes the suns are different colors. That alone should be enough.

Yes, but it could be argued that whatever energy was used to transport chief through time could have displaced his position as well.

Alright I'm going to argue for both sides, most notably time travel

Reasons Not:

Time is believed to be affected by gravity, but not just any amount of gravity, gravity that is a million times that of the sun, like a black hole. When the chief is flying towards the portal to go back to earth there is no body of gravity that large, true the Ark is there, but I'm pretty sure its mass isn't more than a black hole. I've also heard arguements that the crystal made time warp and therefore that is time travel, this isn't true. The crystal found on Reach only created a time DILATION effect, only causing time to go slightly faster. Time is slightly accelerated by a few hours, not days, or years...hours. But this could be because that they are in slipspace, where they technically rip a hole in space and therefore it is also believed that it also rips a hole in time, so the dilation affect could be caused by a rift in slip space

Reasons For.

The portal that lead to the ark could technically referred to as a worm hole, a hole in one part of space that leads to another. Travel through wormholes such as these is thought to be extremely unstable, meaning you could end up in a different galaxy if something bad happens while travelling through this worm hole. Wormholes are also believed to have the same mass as a black hole, there for causing ripples in time, maybe while the arbiter went through and the portal closed something happened where it sucked the chief cortana and debris from the ark through a "timehole" and sent them to a different time, or even an alternate reality, but thats a discussion for a different time.

as for my personal beliefs i don't think it is reach but only bungie can tell

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Actually, solar systems with two suns are more common in our galaxy than ones with only one sun. But Reach orbits a single star, Epsilon Eridani. It's based on the real life Epsilon Eridani located 10ly from Earth, a K2 Spectral Class star which is has an orange-yellow color.
