Brandon Sanderson / Re: Roshar and the Ocean. (very minor spoilers)
« on: January 11, 2011, 10:39:36 PM »QuoteOn a side note, I'd add that many of the creatures so described can't exist in our world, simply because an exoskeleton becomes impractical when it gets scaled up too large (the muscles have a hard time supporting the bulk; muscle strength goes up linearly in size, while mass goes up as the cube). It's probably not a coincidence that all those creatures have gems in them. I'm repeating the speculation of others here, but I find their arguments convincing.Adding to this, Brandon confirmed somewhere that Roshar has less gravity than earth. I believe it was 85 percent of earths but i could be wrong.
Also, how is Roshar not in the spellcheck here?
70 percent actually. But even with that, there's some magic going on as far as the really big ones are concerned.
