Greetings, people of OA

Past the first few thousand years from today or so most Terragens have the option to simply upload and download themselves into new bodies whenever they want to change their bodies, so the limit is simply how high temperature one could design a functional body template for. Exactly how hot it could go is something we don't know, but we do have descriptions for organisms living in magmatic environment - see the Rheolithoids - and even more extreme environments.

The edge of the Terragen Sphere, IIRC, is some 7,600 ly away, although I don't think this takes the displacement of wormholes further from the center into the future into account. Either way, no matter how far away you may be, it's dubious that there is anywhere in the Terragen Sphere that's truly devoid of archailect influence. At least that's how I understand the situation anyway.

Hello The Astronomer,

Thank you for the information; I was referring more to the maximum temperature of lifeforms based on something similar to traditional biochemistry (proteins, etc.). Still, the page you linked was very interesting and informative.

Sincerely,

Rho Ophiucihi,

Welcome to OA!

You don’t have to write your posts by using only the tools provided by the forum software. You also can write a (plain) text file on your computing device and then copy and paste the results into your post. Indeed, editing a long document in the forum software over the network can be unreliable. I know people who’ve lost hours of work due to a network or server glitch.

Instead, you can use  whatever text editing tools you are comfortable with. Note I used the terms “plain text” and “text editing”. The binary formatting codes generated by tools like Microsoft Word, iPad Notes, etc. are not compatible with the forum software. You should use something like emacs or Microsoft’s Notepad. (There are many others, some unique to each type of computing device.) To control formatting, the forum software does textual markup by using (a subset of) BBCode. There are extensive documents available on the Web describing the BBCode markup language.

I hope this helps a little.

Hello Selden,

Thank you so much! I found an online guide to BBcode and figured the quote function out - I am extremely glad for your assistance in this regard - Thank you, again!

Sincerely,
Rho Ophiuchi

Welcome to OA! 


but Selden's advice is definitely good for longer posts. or save a post as a draft halfway through writing it. 
the more casual conversation happens in Discord

Hello Dfleymmes1134,

Thank you for your help - I should note, however, that I have had concerns over Discord's privacy policy for a long time, and thus am not inclined to use that pariticular service.

Sincerely,
