Sufficiently Advanced

by Lord Of Dorkness

A Small Preamble From The Author

I have tried to keep the science of this as hard as possible, but for the tale I wished to tell I needed three decently sized fibs.

In this story, it is the year 2310 and humanity has mastered quantum-physics to the point that certain quantum-effects may be applied on a macro-sized, aka, daily-life level. This is a theoretically possible phenomena, but there is no current even hypothetical way of causing them, let alone in a predictable and controllable manner.

In the same field, a way has been found to cause vacuum energy to last long enough to be used or converted. This is currently hotly-debated if even possible, as well if such zero-point energy is actually potent enough to be worth the effort it would take to ‘tap.’

The graviton is one of the current hypothesis for how gravity works and is currently completely unproven. In the SA universe that particle has not only been proven, but mastered almost as well as electricity.

The short version: I wanted teleportation, ‘telekinesis’, force-fields, energy-constructs and anti-gravity in my story about pastel-colored unicorn-cyborgs with detachable heads meeting pastel-colored magical ponies.

In other words, anything that involves the devices with the name HORN or mentions of gravitons is to be taken with a bit of salt, but with all other sci-fi things I’ve done my utmost to keep them grounded completely in the sci part of the pool rather than the fi one.

If you notice anything (except the above) being wrong, then please inform me in the comments and I will do my best to either correct it or add it to the above list depending on how much it impacts the story.
