Fusion are separate entities...until they are not, which is went they fight or disagree win something, in a way they very elastic metaphors from relatioship, to comitment to sex to even have a daughter and so on.

Also Garnet have stoic personality but is clear by her way to fight is brash and to the point, and at time she does belive violence is the anwser, is clearly part of Ruby as in her own word "Im eternal word Baby"

LeGarcon: It's actually two clips, but no one has recorded the second yet.

Out of context, all they really show is what we already knew; that there will be another episode wih Peridot... eventually (which episode it's from is just a guess).

I believe the guide book said things like the Ruby part, Sapphire part and the love part. Love being the most important part of Garnet.

Yeah what is the consensus here on that? Like they are through the official CN app but they're not from any kind of TV promo or otherwise.

And we don't know what episode that's from or when it'll air.

Oh really when?

It's not a promo for a scheduled episode, it's a random clip that was put on the app, probably without knowing the episode hadn't aired yet.

The spoiler thread is for unofficial stuff, leaks and mistakes . While that includes early releases, promos for future episodes released to everybody are entirely fine, even those of the "random clip" variety. If the clip here is from an app officially licensed by CN, then it's safe to say it was there intentionally. Especially if it was on CN Anything.

Or in short, this isn't a leak - it's a release/advertisement. We're supposed to be able to see it.

It was definitely commendable to link it (rather than youtube-in-thread it) and clearly label it for what it was, though.

Alright, just watched episode 22. One thing that has always bothered me with time travel is how different timelines are connected. Destroying the time machine before past!Steven could use it destroys all of the other Stevens cause, y'know, paradoxes and stuff. What i'm wondering is why past!Steven didn't get rebooted as well. I mean, after all, the Other Stevens were able to erase themselves by shattering the time machine so as to not make past!Steven make the same mistake. But since the Stevens used the time machine go back there in the first place, destroying it makes them vanish but not be treated as having never existed? But instead melt into powder?

So then, when they go back in time, it's maybe not so much that they mess with the past of the same timeline, but instead they create a different timeline that isn't so much as an alternate branch to the huge tree which represents all possible timelines, but instead creates an iteration of the previous timeline where the major difference is that the Steven who used the time device has now traveled over to this timeline instead? And for that matter, does traveling back in the past/create another timeline then mean there now exists multiple timelines without Stevens? Are those timelines still intact? Did they vanish when the first Steven destroyed the time device as well?

Welp, looks like i just let my mind wander for a bit there.

Though honestly, none of this probably matters in the whole grand scheme of things.

Unless there's more plots about time travel.

Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey is Time Travels.

The past Stephen never went back in time, so he wasn't effected.

Good explanation.

[up][up] Timelines - or rather the same timeline in different states. The timeline where the time machine was destroyed was "past Steven"'s timeline. Since he hadn't time traveled and wasn't anywhere he wasn't supposed to be, he wasn't erased from existence.

Or in other words, the time machine destruction didn't reverse all the time travel that happened, nor did it retroactive undo the effects of its own prior use (otherwise nobody would even remember what happened afterwards). It simply stopped any anomalies from continuing to exist - kind of like a triggered version of what Futurama did with its time-duplicates. Since all the other Stevens were from timelines that were no longer valid, they disappeared, but since past-Steven was valid as of the state of causality at the moment, he got to stay.

Gems can control gravity. (Moon walking)

Which means they have FTL travel. (c.f. Bob's return to HW and back).

Which means they have time travel. (c.f. "Future Vision"(t.m.))

no they control their mass weve been over this

no one was questioning that time travel is a thing

[up][up]Actually, their FTL is based on Alcubierre Drive (at least the ship was). Alcubierre Drives don't make matter go faster-then-light, so there's no time travel.

Every example says gravity instead of mass.

Giant women who don't leave giant footprints?

Falling at the same rate on the Moon as on Earth?

Falling up into the warp field as they leave a warp pad?

Yes, changing mass would not explain how they move the same in varying gravity. As Galileo demonstrated, an object's acceleration from gravity is independent of that object's mass.

(Double post to deal with the above.)

This is one case where Star Trek gets the physics right. You don't use a space warping drive to warp in time in flat space. You use the warp drive inside space that's already curved by say a star's mass to travel back to any point when that mass existed.

Added:

Their "warp bodies" add negligible mass to their gems, but they use these to anchor themselves against local objects through gravity control. So when they're swept off their feet they can be thrown great distances with only a local disturbance at their landing area as they regain their balance.

When Stephen aged himself up, he got fatter.

Cluster in the center of the Earth didn't need Coordinates...so it wasn't.

How much does Steven mass and how much does he weigh?

Yeah, an Alcubierre Drive doesn't use ftl at all. It kind of cheats and compresses a bubble of space and accelerates it with anti-mass that must be of lighter gravitational force than the vacuum of space. Try not to think about that too hard.

But yeah, no time dialation here.
