MFW Jonathan Blow says that which I solved in 10 mins is actually in the 1%.

Edit: It took me until near the end of the game to realise what the obelisks are for. So yeah, I'm simple.

So there's not much to the "click" sound whenever the windmill latches onto the next X position? That sounds oddly inconsistent with the meticulously placed sounds in the game.

Is the area behind the windmill a homage to Alan Turing?

Great game, Jon. Keep it up. Proud of you.

I'd think that a hundred PhDs in physics would know better than to cross the streams. See what happens?!

But seriously, it seems like a wild idea: someone in a meeting says "two black holes are about to merge" let's use that as our wave generator. What was the actual series of events/ideas that led to today?

Can we create a detectable artificial source of disturbance?

IMO it's taken from the concept of a certificate ) (aka witness) in computational complexity.

Makes sense if you see the game as a "witness" hunt. And personally whenever I "captured" one was among my favourite moments in the game.
