[QUOTE="AlViking, post: 9536507, member: 6906980"] All I care about is whether the world my character is going to interface with works the same as the real world. I have never built a microscope in DnD and don't see how it would matter. If a person can sail to the edge of the world, I would mention that when setting up the fictional world. Even in the real world we don't really understand how everything works even if we have a lot of theories and math that seems to work. We still cannot untangle the difference between the macro level and the quantum level. We don't know if there is really dark matter or dark energy, they just make calculations work until they don't. You could still use the scientific method to determine physics and explanations of the world even if it doesn't result in the same answers as our world. I don't care if the world works differently at a level my character can't see. If the world is flat, let me know but otherwise I'm going to assume the world is a sphere. Dragons fly because they're magical beasties, ghosts are real because in that fiction they are. Beyond that I don't see why it matters. [/QUOTE]
