Whenever I need a convincing hard sci-fi description, I troll PF - and usually I start with the "Beyond the Standard Model" forum - for concepts that will come across as convincingly nerdy. Here's the latest from my current novel, and I wondered whether anyone else trolls PF for such content?
“The situation here,” the woman said seriously, “is that the event horizon is teleological.” Flannigan had almost stopped listening then, figuring that if there was a term he did not understand in the first sentence, then he was not going to comprehend the rest of it. “Its location depends on its entire future spacetime, with no local counterpart. Within the Freeman manifold, an apparent event horizon is co-located with the unfeigned event horizon, and the metric tensor encodes a deformation of the Minkowski distance formula that varies from point to point in a fractional symmetry breaking fashion. Bailin gauge groups trigger the apparent horizon to discontinuously jump to the unfeigned horizon across the radius topology of compactification in four dimensions on an elliptically fibered CY 4-fold, expanding the isometric torsion...”
