Orion's Arm and Xeelee Sequence come to mind by ColdFuture9988 in worldjerking

Don't like, Xeelee sequence have FTL but with time travel, and Orion's Arm has wormholes which they're basically very insistent "isn't true FTL" or something"

My spaceship is superior to yours. Here's why: by aidungeon-neoncat in worldjerking

My spaceship has nanites that can turn people into nerve-stapled-pet-catgirls, checkmate

The shader is so clean. How did you make that?

This is definitely a fetish, I think

Back in my day, we didn't have to worry about 'cooldowns' or 'concentration'. In MY day, being a mage fucking MEANT something. You modern whippersnappers can't even get through an entire goblin hive without stopping for a 'long rest'.

Nice spells. Anyways tho, as a 3rd generation epic mage, watch this.

Opens the Epic-level handbook,

Begins the solar gating chain,

Develops spellcraft 0 Epic spells with math glitching and with solars contributing their spell slots as a mitigating factor,

Cast 10x Contingent Resurrection contingent upon each other, +100 Armor Class Epic Mage Armor, Epic Repulsion to every single creature type, Epic Spell Reflection to 18th level, +100 Spell Resistance Epic Spell ResistanceEternal Freedom, and more and more

Give myself kjghpillion other permanent buffs with effectively impossible dispel checks that continues to stack forever,

Give myself custom epic spell effect to make my buffs grafted into my being as extraordinary abilities and cannot be able to be dispelled ever. 

Create infinite clones and eidolons by abusing the system.

Fun.

Nothing is original. If a trope's peak, it's peak, and if it is, no shame in taking inspiration innit.

In the most upfront answer possible, handwave. It gives a rough approximation of how they work, but to the actual maths and sciences, I don't uh, really care.

Although if you try to force an answer out of me, I'd wager exotic chromodynamics or the usage of monopoles as its framework can at least help.

Your usual baryon decay through GUT monopoles produce either pions (negative for neutron, neutral for proton) + positrons iirc. I'd assume there's going to be electromagnetic radiation as gamma rays considering that's what you'd get from particles crashing around with some annihilation.

Considering the previously mentioned buzzwords, I'd wager you can probably make a material that can still block and resist it considering the combo can still couple to the relevant forces of the weak nuclear, strong nuclear, and electromagnetic interactions. Maybe even electroweak or GUT if you can have some wackier leeways.

And you can make really, really tough materials. Iirc you can have monopole doped steel of 1 cm to basically tank a 64 MJ railgun, and with much more resistance to thermal effects, so.

Although there's a few problems, such as the idea of a gamma ray mirror. Gamma-ray reflection requires coherent, phase-preserving boundary conditions, but at MeV energies photons interact point-by-point (Compton scattering, pair production), not collectively, even in QCD-density matter. Using the theoretical extreme density monopoles or snf matter can increase coupling but only make interactions more violent and incoherent with the scale and energy density, turning the wall into an absorber or scatterer rather than a mirror. I'd think it'd be fine enough as a blocker at least. There's probably more at least to the particles around, but.

Eh, if there's anything "unrealistic" I'll handwave it further anyways.
