| Mar 26 at 22:50 | comment | added | Pelinore | @sh4dow the "existing trope" doesn't stop working when it's 'another world' or universe, it's the same stars and constellations you're used to or it's not, that's all there is to it .. so it doesn't need "expanding" to fit other universes or realities, the question is, to put it mildly, a bit dumb if the OP really thinks it needs any expanding beyond that for 'other' worlds .. and deciding precisely how it differs is story based so entirely up to him and off topic for here anyway. | |
| Mar 26 at 13:45 | comment | added | sh4dow | I thought the OPs question specifically asked to distinguish being able to tell "somewhere not on earth" from "not in any place that fits our known laws of physics" (or, to quote, "they are likely not even anywhere in our reality"). So this isn't about applying the existing trope, but extending it. | |
| Mar 26 at 9:27 | comment | added | Pelinore | Not only logical, but blindingly obvious, basically the OP is unreasonably ignorant not to understand that this is all there is to this particular 'trope' to the extent that they even thought this was a question worth asking. | |
