Subject: The Halo rings may be much closer than we think...

Waypoint Moderators aren't really Moderators, just power hungry and its goal is defend their beloved Halo at all costs. (Meaning that they wank Halo too much.)

BS Angel is alleged foe so, be wary of Waypoint and its moderators! Do not attempt to move to Waypoint. Enter your own risk.

*WARNING* IT IS MY OPINION.

Ah Quantum, your theory is plausible at best. However, there is a problem: Halo wiki are not 100% credible because no explanations on calcuations, where they got numbers from, errors and speculations.

Before Glasslands, we knew that UNSC's average LY per day is about 2.5 at best. Now after Glasslands, it is likely to be 10.5 to 250 light years per day due to various colonies and Shanghelios which it is outside of UNSC territory, it can be in hundreds of light years away from Earth.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Its been awhile, but I'm remembering something about slipspace weather and that because of this, the time that it can take can get to a location can vary wildly.

There may have even been something about how avoiding certain regions rather than taking a straight path (through those regions) can be faster when there is bad "weather".


For some reason i think you are talking about ion Storms in Command and conquer tiberian because that isn't halo.


No, Halsey mentioned that there were "tides" in slipspace. It was mentioned when the affects of the Forerunner crystal were first noticed in FoR. She conjectured that the crystal may have operated by harnessing these "tides."

I don't think it plays any major role. Just something brought up to allow plausibility.


Well that isn't weather,lol that is just saying there is more to slipspace.


I suppose, though I think it fits if you use the term "weather" loosely, but fair enough.

We should know better, because we are better.

I did the math once and it placed the Halos roughly 21700 light years apart and 25000 light years from the galactic core.

But that would contradict the known locations of the rings.

I think the rings may simply be in a line through the diameter of the galaxy, and Earth being inbetween Installation 03 and 04

To clarify, my calculation were based of the assumption that the 7 Halos were evenly spaced out and they were each 25000 lightyears from the galactic core so that there would be maximum coverage.

I can confirm this as well, I have calculated with someone for range of rings and its location. Logically speaking, it has to be 25,000 LY away from galactic core to order to have maximum effectiveness and they did wipe out all beings in galaxy in long time ago, no?
