=The actual guide for Telescience is written horribly. I'm remaking it.=


Welcome to Telescience, the room where you teleport things/people/bombs you aren't supposed to have into places said things/people/bombs aren't supposed to be, or use it for [[Beyond the impossible|legitimate purposes]].

Not so fast. It would be way too easy to use telescience if the equations were that simple! To compensate, Nanotrasen has added some features to make telescience more inacurate! Basically, there are little "offsets" that get added to the values you input. For now, we're just going to deal with two offsets, because that is how the teleporter currently is. Here they are:

Basically, there are little "offsets" that get added to the values you input. For now, we're just going to deal with two offsets, because that is how the teleporter currently is. Here they are:


*The Power Offset. This is a number x such that -4 ≤ x ≤ 0. This will be added to the power that you input for the teleporter to use.

To make things even more fun, every 20-40 uses the teleporter will have to be "recalibrated," which randomly creates the offsets again!

And we end up with a value of 1.432245340659903. Multiply that number by -1, and you have your bearing offset. It's either -1 or -2!
 
==Steps 3-4, in detail==
Now to solve for the power offset.
 
First, plug in your values. We know the distance is equal to the square root of 1601, so no need to calculate that again. Elevation was 45, and the Power was 20.
 
[[File:Telescience plugged distance equation.png]]
 
Well, the sine of 90pi/180 radians, or pi/2, is 1, so we can cut that shit out of the equation
 
[[File:Telescience plugged distance equation step 1.png]]
 
Multiply both sides by 10
 
[[File:Telescience plugged distance equation step 2.png]]
 
Take the square root of both sides
 
[[File:Telescience plugged distance equation step 3.png]]
 
Well, we know that PowerOffset must be a negative number. Therefore we can remove those bars and multiply the left side of the equation by -1.
 
[[File:Telescience plugged distance equation step 4.png]]
 
Add 20 to both sides
 
[[File:Telescience plugged distance equation step 5.png]]
 
Which is equal to -0.0031242678450383. Therefore, the power offset is 0.
