  • $\begingroup$ "I haven’t really checked my science, it just seemed cool." Then don't. Anything and everything in sci-fi needing a rock-solid explanation is tiresome. Just run with the idea as-is. Every sci-fi writer knows you're allowed 1-2 colossal "suspension of disbeliefs", and this is clearly one of them. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ For a work to be done, in a scientific sense, a force must be exerted, and there must be displacement in the direction of the force. With this said, we can say that Work is the product of the component of the force in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement. Mathematically, the above statement is expressed as follows: W = (F cos θ) d = F. d Where, W is the work done by the force. F is the force, d is the displacement caused by force θ is the angle between the force vector and the displacement vector byjus.com/physics/work $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ A science-based answer for a question that cannot be supported by science. Interesting. $\endgroup$
