science fiction involves using some basis in scientific theories to make the fictional events depicted therin seem possible or at least plausible.

For instance: The Last Theorem by Mark Alpert, where he discusses the idea of particles being "geons" and the use of "sterile neutrinos" to make basically a wormhole that can be used as a laser weapon.

I'm just trying to design the physics for the world I'm setting the story in so that there's consistency in events and themes mentioned in the stories, while attempting to bring up discussion about potential real-world subjects, such as history, science, spirituality, philosophy, technological progression, social and cultural development and the like.

To sum it all down, the questions are for my world-building, in which the basis of the story is a theory that links fictional-analogues of real world physics based phenomena.

But I want it to seem plausible at least, hence the questions.
