Science fiction often starts with science facts. It can also inspire products created from one of those science fiction ideas, ala mobile phones. To me, it seems they put a decent amount of thought into the science side of this story. Rather than what most do and say, 'it just happened and works, don't question it and consume next product.' Things like the repulsive gravity of the wells in the columns, is theoretically possible. Using black holes ⚫️ as a power source may seem like lunacy, but the math says it could be possible. Whether humans could ever have the capacity to make the math work for them is another story 🙄. We only just recently proved that black holes aren't just theory. We knew the math worked, we just didn't have a way to prove it beyond said math. Until we learned, not to look for the hole itself. They emit no visible light, at least using the methods we currently have. So, how do you find something that's fundamentally invisible 🫥 to you? You look for it's influence on the objects around where you theorize the hole to be, like stars 🌟. When you find stars that seem to be orbiting, nothing, and doing so at speeds, distances, with orbit radii so tight that at the speeds they they're traveling, the math says these stars should be projectiles. Flung out into the cosmos at incomprehensible speeds, but they don't. Something is massive enough for it's gravitational pull to overpower the centripetal force on the star or planetary body orbiting it. We now know all this was correct and can 'see' our supermassive black hole ⚫️ at our galactic center. Whatever supercomputer, hyperintelligent Ai, or my fave excuse. Adastra Lingua style brain implants, that can tell our brains 🧠 to experience whatever the fuck they tell it to. Just like what it did to Marco, nothing after Amicus stabbed him through his eye socket (which is a thing btw) can be trusted. You couldn't possibly decern reality from brain manipulation, because that's exactly what our brains already do. Takes in sensory data, sprinkles some witchcraft 🧹🪄 onto the accumulated data, then it builds us a reality in our minds we can interpret, 😆. I still say, Marco's and possibly even Amicus, are having their emotions manipulated by the brain implant in order to 'fall in love.' How could you know otherwise ? They almost immediately manipulated Marco's motor functions to have him strike the big fluffy cuddly wolfs neck. Rather than having him turn the wolfs skull into a T ball, while being the first human to ever experience FTL travel.
Can you tell I'm a single millennial, with ADHD who lives in an isolated shithole‽¿ 😆
