Fire for Effect. Fire and Forget.

I don't remember how, or if the books ever said how the rings actually kill all life in the Galaxy. Anyone remember how?

Discuss.

It's in Crytpum. The Halos fire a burst of neutrinos tuned to a certain frequency to destroy sentient central nervous system, if I remember correctly.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I belive it destroyes all neural links in sentient beings.

Something like that.

Pretty much.

I wonder if it would be possible to figure out the correct frequency to cancel out the resonance frequency of the array and negate its effects...

Intolerance is the highest level of stupidity and inbred thinking.

I haven't read Cryptum yet, but this is correct, at least from what I know. This is why things like plants and bacteria can survive the Halos, while we for example, couldn't. So it kills life, but it's selective, and doesn't totally kill the galaxy.

Tune an adjacent Halo's blast to the inversion of the first?

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

In a nutshell: Kills all sentient life. Starves the Flood of food.

The "Official Halo Encyclopedia" said that they launched a signal with a certain resonance that would cause the nervous system to break down.

I personally prefer the theory one that involves burning all carbon molecules and atoms in the body.

Pretty much, or to create a device like that but on a smaller scale that could keep a planet safe from the effects of Halo. I bet the prophets would have loved to have something like that...

"Find where the liar hides, so that I may place my boot between his gums!" - Rtas 'Vadum

This is what I can make of it:

In Cryptum, a pulse of cross-phased supermassive neutrinos.

In the Encyclopaedia, a resonance pulse.

So these "cross-phased supermassive neutrinos" are acting like a wave with a particular frequency that matches the resonance of certain molecules in your nervous system.

A resonance frequency being a particular frequency in which a vibrating system cannot get rid of additional input energy from that particular frequency. The input frequency and the frequency of vibration in the system interfere constructively, essentially shaking the system apart. So the molecules in your nervous system are broken apart.

However, I do not know what "cross-phased" means, nor what the significance of it being made of supermassive neutrinos is.

not useful. if you managed to tune another halo's frequency, you could just as easy disarm it, and survive the rest, since the halos blast ranges barely over lap.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

Twice in one day a question about how the Halo Array works. Once again I direct you to this thread and the discussion contained within. Read it all great discussion after the OP.

Did Cryptum not kinda disprove that one? Its been a while since I read it so I'm a little foggy on the details.

I feel like the Halos that were planetary and solar system level destroyers were different that the final entire galaxy wiping clean version. I could be wrong though.
