Question Sundering's 'blast radius'

We know that the Sundering stripped the Essence from Earth and shattered Time like a mirror, but did it effect the other planets of the solar system? Could the asteroid belt have been a world held together by dwarven magic so thy could mine it safely. But when the Sundering came the planet shattered from being over mined and the spell holding it together getting stripped...

Just a random thought I had today.

Sure, go with it. Write that story.

The current standard model of the early solar system, the Nice model (named after the French city, not that the model is nice) has significant changes in the gas giant's orbits about 4 billion years ago, causing the Late Heavy Bombardment. Neptune and Uranus may have swapped places, although that seems less likely than not.

Court, are you really concerned about scientific rigour in a fictional universe with magic elves, mutant superheroes and impossible pseudoscientific devisors?

And aliens - can't forget them!

But that's the best bit, when authors can convince their readers that, yes, the elves actually do make sense. I mean, that's pretty much the whole Lovecraft schtick. "Horror, but now with scientific plausibility*!"

(* For early 20th century not too closely examined values of scientific plausibility.)

No, I am thinking that since the planets actually did move, you can say that elves caused the planets to move, and look, they really did move.

I'm thinking that I'll throw it into one of my elseworlds and let the reader speculate if it also applies to the Prime-verse.

Well, that and humans are unable to fathom the cthonian depths of what a Great Old one even thinks.

I'm also trying to figure out how to work Oak Island and it's money pit into things as well.

So - are you suggesting that when that happened, the dwarves doing the mining froze instantly in the cold vacuum of space, and the water on the world agglomerated on them, and since the force of the 'explosion' blew the lighter bits - which would be the ice-covered dwarves - out of a regular orbit - so if we ever mine a comet, we'll find a frozen dwarf in the center?

So is it OK for me to write about the Time Monks now?

Will they have given up frozen dwarfcicles for Lent if it ever happened?

I don't think anything that shattered time had a blast radius limit.

I'm trying to protect my sanity by limiting it. Star Trek Destiny series showed me how bad a temporal f up can be. We don't need a WU-Borg analog showing up.

I'm thinking the timewarp jetted the freeze dried dwarves forward in time and the Mi-go scavenged and reconstituted them as slaves.
