Well , I can agree with that. but for me , lore trumps allIt's true I haven't read any of the ED books, but having a paragraph or two that name checks some physics principles doesn't make it any less magic, because it's a post hoc justification for a gameplay decision. I'm not complaining at all; gameplay concerns trump realism 100% of the time.
"It has to do with string theory" is a wonderful handwavium for all possible scientific extrapolations.
It reminds me of SFDebris who would point out the ridiculousness of Star Trek plots by explaining that something worked in the show "because quantum"
Has anyone ever considered the physics of the frame shift drive.

The dice exist on all levels of the multiverse.Eisntein was lazy in his further education studies and only received the equivalent of a third class degree at university which impeded his progress into a PhD or masters. Hence his working in a patent clerk office. Easy Tiger no one is being sycophantic particularly not in science, I frequent a few physics forums and brelive me it's like a bag of cats. A hypothesis is an idea that stipulates a problem that can be positively proven or disproven A theory is a well tested hypothesis that has been peer reviewd and confirmed by many different Scientists. A law is a theory that something is always the case such as the law of gravity. It is ironically weaker than a theory because you only have to show one counter example and it's toast, where as you might have to do a lot more such as to disprove the theory of evolution for example. No one's brown nosing at Einsteins black hole, least of all the scientific community. There's cleary something wrong with science atm, and most people think quantum mechanics is to blame, but not asll, some say Einstein is. I pity the moderators on these forums it's like herding cats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk7yqlTMvp8 There's a lot of extremely innured and indentured sometimes working at colliders, sometimes as tenured professors. Suffice to say people on the forums I frequent: none of them is the usual suspect. Science is not about the herd per se, although like in any thing people do herd. Make a name prove someone wrong, it's often harder these days than proving someone right on the back of already established work. Einstein spent his whole life trying to prove quantum mechanics was , even though he was a founding father. That is noble even if it was eventually futile. Schrodingers cat experiment was meant to be a mockery of the wolrd of quantum mechanics. "The only thing I regret is that will not be alive to see the demise of quantum mechanics" Erwin Schrodinger. Cowboy hat on.God does not play dice with the universe" Albert Einstein. "Stop telling God what to do with his dice Einstein" Niels Bohr.
When they are rolled, its simultaneous. Life is a RNG that is truly random, because we all know a machine cannot truly generate randoms from a seed.
In a thousand years, will we be worshipping Chance? Ponderous.
I like Physics too!
Google my pal Rudy Rucker. Brilliant man, excellent prof.
