The Parallax forum is the latest forum for the discussion of the new OpAphid story arc. Related threads from the "I in OpAphid" forum have been moved here, and older ones have been moved to Prologue. Please let an Operator know if you have any questions.

For those of you who were like me and didn't know what Parallax means, here's the definition:


par·al·lax (pr-lks)
n.
An apparent change in the direction of an object, caused by a change in observational position that provides a new line of sight

From Wiki:

Intro:
Quote:
"This parallax is often thought of as the 'apparent motion' of an object against a distant background because of a perspective shift, as seen in Figure 1. When viewed from Viewpoint A, the object appears to be closer to the blue square. When the viewpoint is changed to Viewpoint B, the object appears to have moved in front of the red square. It is most commonly used in astronomy."






Use in distance and measurement:
Quote:

"Distance measurement by parallax is a special case of the principle of triangulation, where one can solve for all the sides and angles in a network of triangles if, in addition to all the angles in the network, the length of only one side has been measured. Thus, the careful measurement of the length of one baseline can fix the scale of a triangulation network covering the whole nation. In parallax, the triangle is extremely long and narrow, and by measuring both its shortest side and the small top angle (the other two being close to 90 degrees), the long sides (in practice equal) can be determined."


Sound familiar? *cough*LoseSomethingvideo

Finally, to add to Ziola's post: Parallax as a metaphor.
Quote:

"The apparent displacement, or difference of position, of an object, as seen from two different stations, or points of view. In contemporary writing a parallax can also be the same story, or a similar story from approximately the same time line, from one book told from a different perspective in another book. The word and concept of "parallax" feature prominently in James Joyce's 1922 novel, Ulysses. Orson Scott Card also used this term when referring to Ender's Shadow as compared to Ender's Game."



Here's ze link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax

I'm giddy with excitement!

The change to the forum was made at the request of OpAphid.

BTW, homies ... I'm going to be doing some housecleaning throughout the day. I'm going to make sure all archives are in the new arc and stuff like that. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
