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’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…

        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.
