Nice job Halo Empire; great theory, I like it.

yeah, and since Alpha Halo was destroyed, this object cannot come together, so my guess is that if my theory is true, something will go terribly wrong. and since each ring is so far apart, cant they just slip through slip-space right around earth?

and another though accured to me just now as i was typign this. what if each little halo can come apart, then come together again as one giant halo?
if one of the rings were missing, the others would surely make up for the lost ring.
after seeing Alhpha Halo be destroyed, it looked as though the thing could come apart in little sections. sorta like the space inbetween the spokes of a giant bicycle wheel.

I'm pretty sure when alpha halo was destroyed, the chunks broke off at random places not at set intervals.

Just curious. Maybe already covered. But who says there are only 7 Halos? We start on Alpha Halo 4, then move on to Delta Halo 5. Maybe I am thinking too military but..... Alpha should have 7 Halos. As does Baker, Charlie, Delta, etc. Meaning there could be 7 series of 7 Halos, for a total of 49.... Or just a thought. Maybe there are only 6 series of 7 rings with Earth being the 7th. So 6 series of 7 for a total of 42 Halos. And as everyone should know. 42 is The Answer.

I think the design resembles the platform on High Charity where the foreunner ships sits on........

I came up with this along time ago. so I agree. mine wasnt as detailed of course, but the general idead of a halo under earths crust was there. it makes perfect sense.

and like i have said in another thread, First mission of halo 2 when you step outside into space, take a good long look at earth. Your looking straight down on Africa. thats the first thing i noticed, when i played halo 2, the location of the battle was peculiar. then in the multiplayer map midship, look outside the window at earth. you still looking at africa.

Earth is the Ark. Most likely Africa. My friend and I were discussing this. I think if anything, it might be another Halo. If I remember correctly, if you listen to Guilty Spark(what a freak) in the library level in Halo 1, He says "Oh I am so glad that SOME of the forerunners were able to find a planet and reproduce" or something like that.

I guess it's pretty easy to ignore an idea that essentially refutes the theory behind your entire idea. Another thing is someone noted that these idea are applicable due to the visual emphasis placed on Africa through numerous cutscenes and other shots. However this seems more likely to transfer to the fact that this is a cingular installation, not an under-crust halo.

My earlier post on the possibility of the buried Halo.
Very interesting theory, however I think there are several flaws and numerous other more applicable theories. I think ghostvirus's theory of this as being a type of key or revealing device is very powerful.

The theory of the alloys of the earth being of similar composition to those of this installation and therefore leaving it un-detected are a bit fallible. Underground detection is done through numerous methods such as mass density variations (quite noticeable on an overall earth-sized scale) and induced sesmic testing. While the variation created by this structure may go unnoticed in such a remote location the ability for it to be undetected along the diameter of the earth is a bit of a long shot.

The belief that a structure could radiate the circumference of the earth is quite far off when considering plate tectonics. The African Tectonic plate is an overall lighter density then the plate to the south, and to the north along the Arabian plate it is forming a tectonic ridge (mountains). This plate isn't prone to subduction and most likely (especially the dry-land portion) has existed in one form or another since the formation of the Earth. Unlike oceanic plates which through subduction will descend through the athenosphere and into the Earth's mantle as it is heated into a molten state around 1500km below the surface. Knowing this knowledge it can be understood that an underground installation could exist long before humans inhabited earth, and it could have remained in this position unharmed for millions and millions of years.

However a ring just under the earth's surface would be almost impossible to build. While it is understood that traditional construction techniques are not being used the ridges and movements between plates (several inches in relative movement per year) would disrupt and destroy anything constructed in the Earth's lithosphere (especially oceanic lithosphere).

Another fatal flaw to the ring theory is the fact that this hole is theorized to be only a couple miles deep. The variations along the earth's surface in diamater vary greatly especially along portions such as mid-ocean ridges. A halo ring would be constructed with a perfect diamater, and likely would fail this possiblity as well.

well mabye the halo doesn't have to leave mabye it just has to shoot something like the main gun of the halo. also in the trailer it looks theres a large light coming from the suface of earth which could be the halo fireing and also cortano says that ( she has seen the future and this is how the world ends) so possible the halo is shooting earth to bolow it up. or something?

I'm fairly certain thats the Ark, not a halo.

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

Wow...this is one of the best theories I have seen and I actually believe it!

I was wondering why Fred recignized the designs unde Menachite Mountain.

Yes this really does make sense to the halo 3 script i have, so if you are doubting this i will support some evidence from the halo 3 script. if you would like a copy of the scrip you can possibly ask me, and i MAYsend it to you via email.


POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT FROM HALO 3 GAME!











twords the end of the scrip it reveals that cortanna has betrayed you, and is intent on destroying the halo rings, what the monitors have tried to show you before, master chief ingame resists the truth. Cortana has now revealed to you that she has sided with captain keyes in an attempt to ensure the GRAVEMIINDS survival (the huge flood blob in halo 2 that catches the master chief and arbiter) Why? because the gravemind is the originator of the flood, and can take many different forms to ensure survival. in this case: Captain keyes from halo 1 (remember in halo 1 were there was that nasty ole blob of the remnants of capt. keyes that you punch out his face for the neural implants? yep thats gravemind from halo 2.) well anyways cortana is intent on destroying the rings so that the flood can elimnate all existing life humans, covenant, forerunners, anything that posses as a threat. And the only way to ensure death to all living flood are the halo rings. now back onto topic....
the forerunners used there highly advaned teleportation system to teleport on of the rings within earth to help hide it from the flood, and anything else that would destroy it because the foresaw the flood taking over the universe. Rember cortana so persistent about destroying the rings? yes that is foreshadow for betrayal.

Personally I believe that all of the halos are of the same size and structure, and that structure obviously the control room for the ark [Earth]. I don't think there's a halo under the surface because of the fact that all of the halos so far have faced inward... geographically, it wouldn't make sense if a halo was facing inward inside the Earth.

Posted by: Halo Empire
10,000kms from inner rim to inner rim + 22.3x2 for the Halo's structural thickness = 10,044.6kms. Still fits inside Earths diameter


Yeah, but then that would mean 145.6 lbs x 55mm + 6734.7mg = a large number, thus, the Halo would not fit in the Earth, which has a circumference of C = 22 x 8009 kilometers. y = mx + b represents Stephen Hawking's theory of space time contiuum which would also make the Halo ring impossible because of black holes and stuff.

"Do it right the first time" - Unknown

OMG!

That was the best Theory ive ever read! You're awesome,man!

Hey by the way, ive just played Halo 2 with a friend on co-op, on this Outskirt level and i just realized something...

You know when you first drive in to tunnel that leads you to the other side of the New Mombasa town and cortana say's something about the covenants?

She say's: I've been analyzing the Covenant tactical chatter. They're surprised, confused... I don't think they expected us to be here. Not... you and me, all of us... humanity, on Earth. Odd, I know, but it does help explain why they came here with such a small fleet.
