It would take an alicorn to understand it.. or simply someone versed in string/superstring theory, M-Theory, and/or metaphysics. But there are few enough of us (myself included in that number) that can delve into such fields with an open enough understanding of the material.

But that's why I love stories in which the author has the same understanding of the material and delves deeply into the inner-workings of the theory. But the inherent problem with such stories is that the audience that can appreciate the story becomes more and more limited the deeper you go. I've always had a love for advanced sciences, but I can also appreciate the times when an author involves scientifically technical ideas and theories, but simplifies the explanations of their inner-workings in such a way that most people can understand it without having to get a degree in the related field. And even simplified explanations that do not dig too deeply as to require further explanation of "cause A" or "effect B" are often legitimate, because many advanced fields of scientific theory are exactly that; theory.

Throughout so many of your stories, mostly within the Chakat Universe, I have always enjoyed the thought you put behind the application of scientific advances without going so far into the theory itself that it stumbles over its own feet in relation to other fields, whether known or unknown. Granted, there will always be the individuals that must ask "But if this is so, then what about this?", but that allows said individuals to find the explanation for themselves, to find a deeper understanding of the "why's" and "how's" behind what isn't understood. And it is because of that search for a deeper understanding that we find ourselves advancing further and further.
