Unobtainaium is an engineer's term for a material that has the ideal properties for a function in a design before you start factoring in materials that actually exist.

So maybe this substance is prefect metal for a lot of shit?
>>
>>84340393

No you pathetic fucking retard, it's an alien metal from an alien planet. It does fucking nothing, it's just pure novelty. People pay big bucks for it and go "Look at this shit, BIIIIITCH! I got a fucking rock from blue naked people planet, motherfuckaaaa" It's worth nothing in real life and it does nothing, but the value of an item is whatever people will pay for it.

I'm sorry this went over your head in this children's-level-story SFX vehicle.

you can't obtain it, hence the word 'unobtainium'.

>It is a room-temperature superconductor for energy

>Unobtanium proved to be the most baffling of scientific discoveries in the area of superconductors as it had an extremely strong magnetic field, reversing prior knowledge that all superconductors repel magnetic fields. Furthermore, unlike the fragile crystals of human-created superconducting compounds, the substance found on Pandora was a stable quasi-crystal with its atoms arranged in a never-repeating but orderly pattern with fivefold symmetry. This matrix was not only structurally rugged but also has microscopic voids in the quasicrystalline structure that contain the magnetic flux lines (see Type II superconductor). Unobtanium has a unique magnetic field and properties of superconductivity, causing it to levitate in magnetic fields under the Meissner Effect.

Since the late 1950s,[a][1] aerospace engineers have used the term "unobtainium" when referring to unusual or costly materials, or when theoretically considering a material perfect for their needs in all respects, except that it does not exist. By the 1990s, the term was in wide use, even in formal engineering papers such as "Towards unobtainium [new composite materials for space applications]."[2][3] The word unobtainium may well have been coined in the aerospace industry to refer to materials capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures expected in re-entry.[1] Aerospace engineers are frequently tempted to design aircraft which require parts with strength or resilience beyond that of currently available materials.

You stupid fucking retard.

but how did they get to alpha centauri in the first place then?
>>
>>84346032

How much must the expedition to Pandora have cost in the first place? Those attack helicopters and walker suits would cost tens of millions to apiece to manufacture at today's prices, and the shuttles tens of billions. Each member of staff and crew would probably cost you half a million a year in salary alone, and it takes something like five years to get there. The ship itself is enormous. Costs would surely run into the trillions.

maybe automated mining and manufacture makes equipment cheap, but the critical unobtainium is so vital no expense is spared.

i'd do the only right thing, use it for it's intended purpose. Building a giant train looking "ship" that will drill into the earth's core, not so i can save the world, but just 2 people.

how do you even sell it without someone killing you for it?
how do you even find a buyer?

if you bring it up, some guy with the connections and security can just hire someone to kill you and then sell the unobtainium through a black market dealer, pay the authorities, and no one will know

the only people that can afford it is rich people, unless the value of earth currency has depreciated dramatically.

>In the year 2148, explorers on Mars discovered the remains of an ancient spacefaring civilization. In the decades that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed startling new technologies, enabling travel to the furthest stars. The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time. They called it the greatest discovery in human history. The civilizations of the galaxy call it... MASS EFFECT.

>>84339566
It's a room temperature superconductor. Theoretically it's not possible for such a material to exist but if it could it would definitely be one of the most valuable things we've ever discovered.

Is that very useful ?

Is there some connection between the computer tree and the unobtainium? Do the trees need this mineral to be connected?

I always thought it would be pretty cool, and pretty fucked up if there was ancient shit on mars, literally right next door to us this whole time.
Can't wait till we actually get some people there and start digging around. Hopefully i'll be able to see that shit in my lifetime, as long as the world doesn't nuke itself out of existence by then.

GE wouldn't allow it, because there's no profit to be made from that.
Its also why light bulbs are manufactured to go out after so many hundreds of hours. The first light bulbs lasted nearly forever, but you can't sell that to people.

What makes a lightbulb wear out is rather that you can turn it on and off. It will last longer if it's always on.

Early 20th century light bulbs probably had way more tungsten than necessary.

Also it might just be confirmation bias, you keep seeing the one in a million bulbs that lasted a century while all it's fellow siblings burnt out in the first few years.

Use it to create a bomb large enough to destroy Pandora and thereby make the mineral live up to it's name. Also fuck those smurfs.

I was wrong. Sorry. Traditional incandescent bulbs will wear out faster. LED ones wont though.

First movie
"Oh using the military was a bad move. The natives just want their trees and we just want the minerals that are already exposed there are ways we can get the minerals without harming the trees"

Sequel:
"Fuck they need every ounce of the mineral to maintain their culture"

Did he give a why he gave it such a wacky silly name?

I mean it's borderline George Lucas.
>Lucas agreed that this situation made sense for Sith royalty, and offered up two Darth titles for the team to choose from. “He threw out ‘Darth Icky’ and ‘Darth Insanius.’ There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say ‘just kidding,’ but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point.”
