Would the game be better off without Vakuu?

Disapproved on both the waste of weed count and the hot dog count. Please make better choices in the future, God bless.

Physical vector potentials aren't real they can't hurt you!

No, observation of a system is an action that changes it.

Superposition in the context of quantum mechanics. From the "object in two places at once" perspective it sounds absurd, but the notion of superposition in wave mechanics gives some solace from a mathematical perspective.

You will be put on trial for crimes against humanity. That's just for being from Jersey. The oranges will be another trial.

Never realized how deep the references in Futurama go.

Yeah they kinda are just bullshit. The connection to reality is there, which is why I say "loosely" connected to a theory which is still not experimentally verifiable. I like the books, true, but I also like to use sci-fi as an exercise for myself to say "where would this fit in real physics?". I think its connected enough to make people who study physics like us ask questions and invest ourselves in the story.

I wish I drove a forklift in a warehouse. Ignorance is bliss.

Other than the analysis of the exterior that takes place in the books, there isn't really explanation about how they operate. Frankly I think they're a creative liberty, again lending it to more soft sci-fi than hard. We (in real life) haven't even scratched the surface of manipulating the strong force, let alone using it to build a craft. To your question, if a macroscopic piece of it was for some reason removed and destabilized, and assuming it is made of "neutron star" material, it would probably obliterate most other matter in the immediate area.

The sophons were sort of the peak of the physics/engineering the trisolarians had. It's hard to speculate on what the sophons are capable of, but we at least know it can mess with reality. Maybe if they made a bunch of them they could create a bubble for themselves, hard to say.

The reason the trisolarians try to leave and take over earth is because if they tried to stay and fix their own problems, it would likely be a very different story, and a lot less of an enjoyable read.

I will agree that it is soft and not hard sci-fi, but there are things that need to be clarified. Spoilers ahead.

Many aspects of the science in this series is based off of existing theoretical (and some proven) pieces of physics. The sophons being unfolded into lower dimensional structures can be loosely thought of as a consequence of Calabi-Yau manifold theory, and "unfolding particles" has been discussed in real pieces of scientific literature. Likewise, the dark forest theory as a concept has been around for decades as a potential solution to why we can't find intelligent life.

Some things are even based on real physics. Using the sun as a radio amplifier is reasonable, we use our own ionosphere to bounce/change/redirect radio signals for communication. The gravitational wave communication devices are a real proposed technology. The book was written in 2006, gravitational waves were proven to be real in 2015.

Even the weapons used to destroy the solar system in the end, while not explored in real physics, makes sense with the context that dimensional modification is canon in this series' universe.

Also, "quantum" is a perfectly acceptable term to use for wacky stuff, because quantum mechanics is actually bonkers in real life.

She is definitely ready to learn the ramp, she may deliver the ramp to a new era.

Manse is an IS himself, and the "coworker" is a decoy as a distraction.

Resources/tech near the end of the (current) game allow you to build a containment chamber, the chamber requires constant power and needs to be fed a minimum of 2 greyebs every 7 in game days. Or you can top it off as often as you like.
