A troll heals by continuously transforming into its form. Does this mean Hermione will never age, because she will always transform into a 12-year-old body? On the plus side, she wouldn't fear old age...
I don't there's a mention of trolls not aging.
I wonder if she will be able to sense all of Voldemort's horcruxes right away when she wakes up
Given that Voldemort doesn't know how many horcruxes he has, I don't think he senses all of the horcruxes.
And unless it has a limited store of energy, he will have defeated Death at that point.
Even without an unlimited store of energy it's not clear that the process is fast enough to keep 6 billion humans alive.
I don't there's a mention of trolls not aging.
Okay, now I want to read an Arithmancer/HPMoR crossover fic, wherein MathWiz!Hermione figures out the differential equations underlying the trolls’ constant self-transformation and then goes on to create a magical equivalent of genetically modified trolls …
ETA:
it's not clear that the process is fast enough to keep 6 billion humans alive.
In fact, it’s clear that the process is not fast enough: Search chapter 111 for mentions of the word “minutes”!
This is a new thread to discuss Eliezer Yudkowsky’s Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality and anything related to it. This thread is intended for discussing chapter 111.
There is a site dedicated to the story at hpmor.com, which is now the place to go to find the authors notes and all sorts of other goodies. AdeleneDawner has kept an archive of Author’s Notes. (This goes up to the notes for chapter 76, and is now not updating. The authors notes from chapter 77 onwards are on hpmor.com.)
Spoiler Warning: this thread is full of spoilers. With few exceptions, spoilers for MOR and canon are fair game to post, without warning or rot13. More specifically:
