theory of gravity. You know that gravitons don't really exist right?
Gravitons are theoretical particles that MIGHT explain how gravity
works, but it is just a theory (one of many).
Joel's theory of gravity seems to work like electric current and
magnetic fields. Which is just as reasonable as any other writers'
version. Now if he had call them "super-dense particles"
or "Energized Cubane(C8)" instead of gravitons would you have had any
issue?
While you could have actually offerd some kind of suggestion, you
elected to attack someone's concept. Why? Was your last comment
really necessary? Did you send these same kinds of flip remarks to
the writers of StarTrek since they can't even keep their technobabble
straight in the same episode?
Joel has put some thought and effort into his idea where you clearly
did not put any effort into your reply. In my playbook that makes
Joel smarter than you. (It is clear that the only reason you would
have made a post like this is that you wanted to show that you were
smarter than Joel.)
Give the rest of us a break.
Try to add to the creative efforts - not throw water on them.
