Honestly it reminds me a bit of the macguffin used to amplify a signal to insterstellar distances used in The Three Body Problem book. Which given the rest of the novels makes me a little scared

Instantly thought of this as well. Loved that book.

the three body problem is one of the most terse piece of writing I have ever read if being absolutely honest

What’s wrong with tenseness? People praised Hemingway for it.

I don’t think that’s the word you meant to describe TBP though.

There's a whole paragraph where he lists different frequencies of atom vibration of different elements. Basically a whole paragraph quoting different frequencies, separated by comma. I think he just likes bullying the reader into submission by showing off his intellect and giving this impression that all of this is going to come together.

However, if you do know science, you know pretty well all of this is just mumbo-jumbo so the suspense of disbelief disappears and there's just nothing left in the book that is sufficiently interesting.
