Dr. Petroff has also shown that the Higgs boson signal was actually sparks from someone microwaving grapes, the EHT black hole photo was a frozen bagel someone left in too long, and the LIGO detection was just someone slamming the microwave door too hard.
I don’t know why but that [citation needed] caught me so off guard and made me laugh far too much
I’m fairly sure microwaves float in space. I don’t think there are completely different laws of physics, just for microwaves. A microwave in a bistro however…
Microwaves travel through space at the speed of light because they are photons
If you want to get pedantic, as far as photons are concerned, photons don’t exist. At C time dilation hits infinity, while length contraction approaches zero. Therefore photons travel zero distance and experience zero time. Therefore, from a photon’s perspective, they don’t exist!
Bistromath was such a beautifully strange concept for a ship. I freaking love SEP fields the most from that book.
The combination of the infinite improbability drive leaking, and the SEP (somebody else’s problem) field is amazing. It provides an in-universe explanation for the various weird and unlikely things that happen.
I was reading one of his the other day and he got me with the same thing. It was:
