Hyper-dimensional physics at work - what James Clerk Maxwell demonstrated in his 200 quaternions, before self-taught mamas-boy Heavyside tossed all but four which he striped of fields ... giving us all we know about electromagnetic spectrum from computers to radio to light ... and so crippled theoretical physics for the past 200 years. Only those four are generally taught of which none are Maxwell’s. Most of what Tesla tried to do was based on the original quaternions which were removed in Maxwell reference works by the late 1800s and can hardly be found today.

I’m frustrated at the lack of Sol System analogs because it makes it less likely to find life-harboring planets, and it makes stable solar systems things that may be extremely rare, which is kind of disturbing.

...

It may be disturbing, but it fits the observations we have, even within our own solar system which is friendly to life. Earth, the most life friendly planet we know has a ratio of biomass to mass of only four parts in ten billion.

Sounds similar to a story line from “Gulliver’s Travels.” We must attack the alien solar system because their planets don’t orbit the same as ours.
