| Sep 29, 2018 at 2:56 | comment | added | Justin Thyme | @Peter A. Schneider I am looking for a way to talk in chat, but haven't found one until we are swept into chat. I do due diligence on posters who comment on my posts and comments, checking their profile and history.. You must admit, that compared to this answer, 'It doesn't...' is quite unimaginative. This answer? It is interesting. | |
| Sep 29, 2018 at 1:56 | comment | added | Justin Thyme | @Peter A. Schneider The definition of baffledegab is nounINFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN noun: bafflegab incomprehensible or pretentious language, especially bureaucratic jargon. "the smooth chairman who had elevated bafflegab to an art form" I think an exploration of the term would result in the conclusion that it is worthless and meaningless, meant to obfuscate and confuse, but certainly to not provide any information. It is very often used in a complimentary fashion. I do not doubt it took considerable effort. When I use it, it takes considerable concentration to make it seem meaningful. | |
| Sep 29, 2018 at 1:27 | comment | added | Peter - Reinstate Monica | @JustinThyme Oh I see that I dismissed one of your questions as unanswerable (perhaps wrongly) and you appear to be miffed by that.-- I would not consider this answer meaningless or worthless; IIRC I spent considerable time formulating it. More speculative SF (like, how to survive a supernova) requires some scientific "inventions". It is nice if they attach to and integrate well with known science (like Higgs Bosons and gravitational waves). "Normal" media are known to behave funny under certain circumstances; why not spacetime? | |
| Sep 29, 2018 at 1:20 | comment | added | Justin Thyme | @Peter A. Schneider let me see, admit to technobabble, admit to the answer being meaningless, admit to the answer being worthless. Even an admission that it is ridiculing the OP's question. Which of my assertions have you not admitted to? I don't seem to have used the term 'unimaginative' OR 'overimaginative' in this case. But technobabble DOES require a great deal of creativity. | |
| Sep 29, 2018 at 1:05 | comment | added | Peter - Reinstate Monica | @JustinThyme So you criticize one answer of me as unimaginative and this one as, if I understand correctly, overimaginative. You do realize that the OP asked how to survive a supernova, an event that will kill you, famously, just by its neutrino radiation. Paraphrasing a common scientific principle: Bold problems require bold concepts. Of course this is technobabble, if you want to use a derogatory term. This is an SF question, not an S question. | |
| Sep 29, 2018 at 0:23 | comment | added | Justin Thyme | @Victor Stafusa it is absolute technobabble, worthless as an answer. Absolutely meaningless. One wonders if the poster is just ridiculing you. | |
| Jul 17, 2016 at 10:25 | comment | added | Peter - Reinstate Monica | @MarchHo Yes, it is "technobabble". I tried to find a hook in known physics (Higgs Bosons) where very advanced physics might find interesting things. If we know more about what constitutes space-time, we may or may no find interesting properties of it. | |
| Jul 17, 2016 at 6:09 | comment | added | March Ho | @VictorStafusa This answer is technobabble as far as I can tell. | |
| Jul 16, 2016 at 20:12 | comment | added | Victor Stafusa | I think that I am too dumb to fully understand your answer, but it is a very interesting one nonetheless. I will need some time to digest it. Anyway I think that claims like "But excited by a specific resonance frequency of gravitational vibration, the bosons stop interacting conventionally" needs some citations. Also, does "Interaction between different tempo-spatial locations are near-"instantaneous"" imply the existence of some sort of faster-than-light phenomena other than quantum entanglement wave-function collapse? | |
