I will always remember all of my engineering, chemistry and physics friends in uni complaining about how expensive all the shit they had to buy was and me being like
I like stationary stuff and this set is intriguing
I’m not a nuclear guy or anything, but suit and containment unit? Seems unnecessary and would make the hands very unwieldy through 2 pairs of gloves.
math requires it, the risk is just too high
Can't take any chances. One missed parentheses and the universe implodes
But what if it reaches critical math? Can't be too careful.
Suits are to keep you safe, glove boxes are to keep the things inside them safe. Also never seen them used together though, you're right about that.
summons bear Fuck.
This is basically the Laundry Files books by Charles Stross.
The actual containment methods are programming a script to do the calculations. Some calculations take thousands of smaller steps that you would lose your mind doing. Finite Element Analysis comes to mind. The number of nodes one might use for FEA today would make doing the calculations by hand mind numbing.
Is that Ponder Stibbons in an alternate reality?
💯. I also got Discworld vibes!
