The thing with this plot is that the momentum starts up and goes full force and then!.....stops dead.
The tricky thing about momentum is the energy component. Since relativistic physics defines total enery as: E^2 = (mc^2)^2 + (pc)^2, we have to assume that all the energy/momentum gets changed into mass. Plugging in wave-particle duality (E = hf = hc/λ), we get (hc/λ)^2 = (mc^2)^2 + (pc)^2. With no momentum, all our energy becomes more mass and smaller wavelength (since everything else is constant). That also means we change color since smaller wavelengths means a nice blue shift. Since we can still see our bodies (I know at least I can), that just means we get bluer, indigoer and purpler, but not too much UV. Ah! The physics behind all of this is amazing.
One comment on your physics. You used E = hf = hc/λ ... which assumes a massless particle. (c = fλ only works for massless particles ... since only a massless particle can travel at the speed of light).
If you want to assume the plot progess has a mass ... you could relate the momentum with a wavelength by using the de Broglie wavelength ( p = hbar / λ). Then you don't have to get into sticky subjects of relativistic energy. If you want to find a relativistic momentum from a speed though, you will need to be careful. p = [(1-(v^2/c^2))^(-1/2)] * m * v
If you want to assume the plot progess has no mass ... then the correct relativistic equation would just be E = pc.

As for progress ... I assume TNT is working on coding something in the basement ... and are waiting to open up the stairwell for us to continue on in the plot.

We are TNT, what's in our mind?
Let's assume we are the TNT and we are preparing the Lost Desert Plot.
let's presume what are the goals :
- Our goal is to make the job harder for this plot to be resolved. (granted)
- Instead of having a common answer that can be passed around to attain a certain point, individual effort are needed. (mapping the temple, getting the tablet translated, finding the right door to Statue).
- People will have to figure things for themselves (riddle of temple doors, riddle to get past the guards in the repository, getting Foreman his souvenir inexchange of apparently useless cristal)
- People will not able to choose sides during the war. (we've seen this)
- Group effort will be emphased during the LDP (as shown in moving sand, blocks, furniture)
- Time factor, the plot has to last a certain time and finish before the release of the video game, November 15) and numerous clickies (for commercial reasons) are a consideration (temple doors, sand moving, block moving, furniture moving, scroll reading in depository).
- The LDP will not be finished until us (still presuming) TNT wants it to be finished by us, therefore waiting time will be included for people to catch up, ponder upon possible theories.
- a Comic is released concurrently with developments of the plot thereby giving hints.
- Battling in the Battledome has taken place and whoever was able to win at least against the Spirit of the Ruins will gain points for this. (a sad thing, forgetting the weak Neopets is that maybe a weaker opponent will have give them a sense of pride, hopefully it will be corrected).
...
Our handfuls of sands are so far the only new elements that we were allowed to keep. (sniff, I too wanted to keep the T-shirt). Will the handfuls of sands play a role?
...
How about making a concoction? Kauvara? Edna? Oesophagor? Kitchen Quest?
It would make sense since the Foreman/chef speaks about having mislabeled food and not being able to cook yet.
FOOD, Food will be an issue soon.
Food, or food labeling maybe within our trajectory to do this plot. But how and why remain.
I recap :
We're all in it for the clickies (and the rewards)
A group effort into a final cohesive action will take place.
The waiting time is something purposely planned.
Food is an upcoming issue.
The end might not be as evident as the story might show.
I don't hold the truth about this plot but boy, am I looking for it...
Truth is the first casualty of war - Churchill
I like the "backthinking" arguments alot. I think this is how we will suss things out for the future. Food will somehow play a role. Perhaps we will have to run around the repository delivering food to random people who are studying the scrolls.
