Default Re: How do you explain it?

Sounds to me like the kind of twaddle a scifi writer would come out with- Asimov or Clarke from the sound of it.
Asimov wrote and published over 400 books in his lifetime, including textbooks on mathematics, science and physics. I would hardly describe his life's body of work as "twaddle". There is nothing wrong with inventing hypothetical technology in the context of telling a story.

He also hated the term 'scifi', preferring science fiction, or S.F. for short.
