[Request] If you had a 100ft wide circular tower & a 10ft wide circular tower each with equal height stairs circling the perimeter on the inside, both 100ft tall, would you travel more distance in the larger tower to reach the top?

[Request] If you had a 100ft wide circular tower & a 10ft wide circular tower each with equal height stairs circling the perimeter on the inside, both 100ft tall, would you travel more distance in the larger tower to reach the top?

The heights are just placeholders, wondering if a smaller stairwell would change the distance. I am reading a book where they keep complaining about the distance it takes to reach the top of a circular tower. If they built a smaller spiral staircase within the larger tower, would it be more efficient and take less distance to reach the top assuming the stairs are the same height? Sorry for the crude drawing lol

Spider-Man will be a massive FLOP! The good people of New York don’t want to see a masked vigilante terrorizing our streets! We need JUSTICE!

I am told Bill Simmons is OUT for Thursday’s podcast. I have it on good authority that Joe House will be in attendance for the procedure

Endymion / De Soya question

De Soya is describing his worse fear aboard a ship being getting vented into space. So, like Dure’s numerous resurrections, would a vented soldier carrying a cruciform eternally resurrect as they drift through space… FOR ETERNITY? Or is there a clause in the resurrection that I’m forgetting?

Heartbreaking: You read an excerpt of the book you’ve been wanting to read and it did not seem enjoyable at all

I have been seeing so much praise for Between Two Fires that I’ve been itching to buy it. Read the first 30 pages online and the writing style did not seem enjoyable to *me* at all. May have to stake out at Barnes and Noble and just read half the book the there first. Bummer after making myself read through my shelf a bit before buying another freshie. Nothing against the book!

“The guilt will crush you”

This has to be the defining quote of the series. I know we are set for doom and despair, but maybe this cope, but I can’t help but feel like this will be the defining moment of the L******* arc and ending of the series. Please god pierce

Just finished FoH - WOW!!

Down to discuss anything! Loved every page of it. Immediately watched and read a bunch of reviews, I can’t believe how split the opinion is??

I thought Simmons did a wonderful job of alternating viewpoints, the chaos of multiple POVs per chapter near the end really conveyed the frantic state that everyone was in. The addition of Severn was a bit rough at first, but he blended into the story incredibly well.

When I started Hyperion last month, I read a comment on this sub saying something along the lines of, “Simmons never introduces something he doesn’t later come back to explain”. And that was absolutely true! My favorite part about this, other than being a satisfying conclusion, was that nearly all of my questions were answered in very interesting fashion! Really scratched my sci-fi itch!

Now onto The Book of The New Sun before diving back into Endymion.
