I didn’t have any trouble noodling it out after reading the whole thing and going back over some stuff, but there’s plenty of folks here who’d appreciate the “meat” of this story without having to open a simultaneous window to a search engine and spending an hour looking up stuff like mW, Teslas, etc...

I only nitpick on the subject because it’s the primary reason that people outside of the hard sciences dislike and mistrust scientists. You either get painted the elitist, or on the other hand some bozo in the media takes the core concept and runs off on some crazy tangent with it.

Technical concepts can usually be broken down and reasonably explained to the layperson with a little effort on our part and that effort is usually rewarded with greater respect and a piquing of interest on their part.

I was joking about understanding it....

I still think it is about toy death rays or possibly lizard people that eat anti-matter
