Re: Creating a new Silmarillion -- some ideas...
You've missed my point completely (and I am not inserting personal opinions into the canon, I am giving examples of things which can or should be done).
You cannot mix science and Tolkien's mythology together successfully. Tolkien devised the mythology originally to be a
mythology. Mythologies are not based on science.
There is no deciphering involved in defining a canon for
The Silmarillion. A canon can only be devised from existing texts, not from unwritten texts and outlines of ideas which were never given full form.
