I read a sci-fi short story about that once. A scientist brings back a guy from the future, but the guy either can't explain how things work or does so using a vocabulary the scientist doesn't understand.
It was like:
"How do you make a teleporter?"
"Well you take a zargnix and put it on top of a floon."
Actually the floon goes inside the zargnix. Duh.
Aren't you thinking of the floov compensation harpon? People typically get them confused.
Nah, it's floon, the "n" stands for non-"v" which is definitely what you want if you wanna know where you're teleporting too...
Oh sure, if you have one of those carglaian models. But only a total marspopple would have one of those.
You can hack it by bypassing the torrax with a blaqu'ue injection, then you can easily teleport, even with the carglaian model by putting a zargnix on a floon
Oh, yeah, with the torrax you could do that, but if you just upgrade your porz ejector, you can make the whole system cleaner than a Triceptian Fo.
where did read it? do you have a link?
Years and years ago in some anthology or other. Sci-fi short stories are my favorite literary medium, so I've read far more than I could count. I wish I could tell you the name or the author.
