Finally some quality content.

I'm not sure what it would be used for but this is a brand new compound into humanities toolbox that advances physics at the same time. Unexplained phenomena that is also confirming a particle theorised 16y ago. Give Nobel please.

This is how we get to warp drive... Make it so number 1.

We might be able to make a warp drive within the crystal structure. 🫠

An uneducated hypothesis: have a bunch if these particles move back and forth in unison => directional force using only energy => space travel with infinite fuel

Only caveat is that we have to change everyone into fermions temporarily lol

Just a minor scientific hurdle, I'm sure they'll figure it out in the upcoming weeks.

I like quality content, even if I can’t understand sometimes
