Dr. Sarah Chen stared at her computer screen, reading the Nova Technologies announcement for the third time. Her coffee had gone cold an hour ago, but she didn't notice.

She was a telecommunications engineer at MIT, with two PhDs and fifteen years of experience in signal processing and network architecture. She had worked on 5G infrastructure, satellite communication systems, and cutting-edge fiber optic networks. But none of it mattered anymore.

Nova Technologies made sure if that with the announcement they made almost four hours ago.

"This is impossible," she whispered to herself, then louder, "This is impossible."

But the announcement was real. The device was real. And if Nova Technologies' previous product were any indication, it will actually worked exactly as advertised.

She opened her laptop and started typing furiously, pulling up every physics textbook, every paper on electromagnetic propagation, every fundamental law that governed how information traveled through space.

By the time she finished her preliminary analysis, her hands were shaking. She posted it on LucidNet.

SCIENTIFIC BREAKDOWN: Why Lucid Air Should Be Impossible.

A thread on the physics violations in Nova Technologies' latest announcement.

I'm a telecommunications engineer. I've spent my entire career studying how information moves through space. What Nova Technologies just announced doesn't just push the boundaries of physics. It ignores them.

Let me explain why Lucid Air is theoretically impossible, and what it would take for it to actually work.

1: THE SPEED PROBLEM

1 TBps = 1,000 Gbps = 1,000,000 Mbps

Current theoretical maximum for single-mode fiber optic cable: ~100 Gbps. Current consumer maximum: ~10 Gbps

Lucid Air claims 1 TBps as MINIMUM speed. That's 10x better than theoretical maximum of our best technology. But speed isn't the real problem. It's everything else.

2/ THE INVERSE SQUARE LAW

Every electromagnetic signal weakens with distance according to the inverse square law: Signal strength = Power / (4π × distance²).

This is not a limitation of technology. This is a FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF PHYSICS.

Double the distance → signal becomes 4x weaker. 10x the distance → signal becomes 100x weaker. 1000x the distance → signal becomes 1,000,000x weaker.

Lucid Air claims ZERO signal degradation regardless of distance. You could be in Tokyo while your device is in New York (11,000 km away) and receive the same signal strength.

This violates the inverse square law. Period.

3/ THE POWER PROBLEM

Current high-speed routers consume 20-50W of power continuously, satellite communication systems consume kilowatts and cell towers consume tens of kilowatts.

But Nova Technologies claims that Lucid Air claims NO power consumption. Zero. None. It just... works.

Energy doesn't come from nowhere. This is the First Law of Thermodynamics. Energy is conserved. You cannot create it from nothing.

So where is the energy coming from?

4/ THE BANDWIDTH PROBLEM

Shannon's Law defines the theoretical maximum data rate of a communication channel:

C = B × log₂(1 + S/N)

Where:

C = channel capacity (bits per second)

B = bandwidth (Hz)

S/N = signal-to-noise ratio

To achieve 1 TBps, you need either:

Enormous bandwidth (multiple GHz)

Perfect signal-to-noise ratio (impossible).

Or both

Current WiFi uses ~160 MHz bandwidth maximum.

To get 1 TBps, you'd need bandwidth in the 100+ GHz range with near-perfect signal clarity.

That's microwave/millimeter wave territory. Those signals can't penetrate walls. They can barely go 10 meters in open air.

But Lucid Air will somehow transmits through buildings, across continents, with perfect signal integrity? This breaks Shannon's Law.

5/ THE INTERFERENCE PROBLEM

Radio spectrum is limited and heavily regulated. Every WiFi router, cell phone, radio station, and satellite operates on specific frequency bands to avoid interference.

But Lucid Air operate at planetary scale with no interference, no frequency licensing, and perfect signal isolation between users. How?

The electromagnetic spectrum doesn't have unlimited bandwidth. It's a finite resource. You can't just "use" frequencies without interfering with other signals. Unless...

6/ THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS

I've spent close to four hours analyzing this. There are only three ways Lucid Air could work as described:

THEORY 1: Quantum Entanglement Communication

Use quantum entanglement to transmit information instantaneously regardless of distance.

Problems:

Violates no-communication theorem (information cannot travel faster than light via entanglement)

Requires maintaining entangled particle pairs (extremely fragile)

Has never been demonstrated at scale

Still requires power

Likelihood: 15%

THEORY 2: Wormhole/Exotic Matter Networking

Create microscopic wormholes or manipulate spacetime to create zero-distance paths between transmitter and receiver.

Problems:

Requires exotic matter with negative energy density (never observed)

Requires Planck-scale energy manipulation

Would require solving Einstein field equations in ways we don't understand. Might be physically impossible.

Likelihood: 5%

THEORY 3: Higher-Dimensional Signal Propagation

Transmit signals through higher spatial dimensions where distance works differently.

In 3D space, signals spread over expanding spheres (inverse square law).

In 4D or higher dimensional space, signals could propagate through "shortcuts" or follow different geometric rules.

If Lucid Air somehow accesses a 4th or 5th spatial dimension for signal transmission:

Distance in our 3D space becomes irrelevant

Signals could maintain strength regardless of 3D distance.

Energy could be drawn from higher-dimensional vacuum fluctuations. Bandwidth limitations might not apply the same way.

This would explain:

✓ Zero distance degradation.

✓ Planetary range connectivity.

✓ No power consumption (draws from higher-dimensional energy substrate).

✓ Massive bandwidth (transmission through higher-dimensional "space").

✓ No interference (each device operates in slightly different dimensional coordinates).

Likelihood: 60%

THEORY 4: We Don't Understand Physics As Well As We Think

There's a fundamental aspect of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, or spacetime that we've completely missed.

Nova Technologies has discovered or is utilizing physics that exists outside our current models.

Likelihood: 20%

7/ THE IMPLICATIONS IF THIS IS REAL

If Lucid Air works as advertised, it means:

For Physics:

At least one fundamental law is incomplete or wrong. We need to revise our models of space, energy, or information. There are accessible phenomena beyond the Standard Model

For Technology: Energy generation from vacuum/dimensional sources, faster-than-light communication (effectively), revolution in our understanding of information theory

For Society: Complete restructuring of global telecommunications, elimination of information geography, potential military applications that would terrify any government.

8/ MY CONCLUSION

As a scientist, I should be skeptical. But Nova Technologies has now released Lucid, a devices that perform impossible computation.

At some point, "impossible" just means "we don't understand the physics yet."

My professional assessment: Lucid Air will operate using physical principles we have not yet discovered or do not fully understand.

Most likely: Higher-dimensional access or exotic vacuum energy manipulation. Either way, this is the most significant scientific development in a century. And we found out about it through a product announcement. What a time to be alive.

End thread.

"I'm going to go rethink my entire career now. Also, I'm absolutely trying to get a Lucid Air unit for testing. If anyone at Nova Tech is reading this: I will sign any NDA. I just need to understand how this works. For science. And my sanity," Dr. Sarah muttered to herself.

Meanwhile, the thread she posted had exploded. Within minutes, it had been shared thousands of times. Scientists, engineers, physicists, and mathematicians from around the world flooded into the comments.

Dr. James Morrison (@Caltech_Physics):

"I ran similar calculations. Reached same conclusion. Either our physics is incomplete or Nova Tech has access to technology that shouldn't exist for another century. Or both."

Dr. Yuki Tanaka (@CERN_Researcher):

"The energy problem is what gets me. Zero power consumption for TBps transmission? That energy has to come from SOMEWHERE. Either they're tapping zero-point energy or they've discovered a new fundamental force."

Dr. Michael Roberts (@NASA_JPL):

"The planetary range with zero degradation is what breaks my brain. I've worked on deep space communication for 20 years. We use massive dishes and kilowatts of power to communicate with Mars. This device does BETTER with NO POWER CONSUMPTION?"

Dr. Elena Volkov (@MIT_QuantumLab):

"I've been working on quantum communication for 15 years. If they've solved quantum entanglement communication, they've just won every Nobel Prize for the next decade. If they've done something else... I don't even know what to call it."

Dr. Ahmad Hassan (@Oxford_Physics):

"I'm a theoretical physicist. I work with exotic spacetime geometries and higher-dimensional models. Chen's Theory 3 (higher-dimensional propagation) is the only one that makes mathematical sense. But accessing higher dimensions requires energy scales we can't achieve. Unless..."

Professor Linda Zhang (@Stanford_EE):

"I teach electromagnetic theory. Tomorrow I'm going to have to tell my students that everything they learned might be incomplete. How do you even begin to explain this? 'By the way, inverse square law is more of a suggestion now?'"

Dr. David Kim (@Princeton_CS):

"From an information theory perspective, this breaks Shannon's Law, violates bandwidth limitations, and ignores every fundamental constraint we thought was absolute. I have no idea how to model this mathematically."

The scientific community was in freefall.

Dr. Chen watched the responses flood in, her thread spawning dozens of derivative analyses, counter-theories, and increasingly desperate attempts to find some rational explanation.

But underneath all the technical discussion, underneath all the equations and theories, there was one question that nobody could answer:

How did a startup company achieve what the entire scientific establishment thought was impossible?

And more importantly: What else could they do?

She looked at the Lucid Air announcement again, her eyes settling on the closing statement:

"At Nova Technologies, our mission is simple: Remove all forms of limitations.

"

"Limitations," she muttered. "They're not talking about technological limitations. They're talking about physical limitations."

She opened a new document and started writing.

The title: "A Proposal for Revision of Fundamental Physics Based on Observed Nova Technologies Phenomena"

If the devices worked, the physics had to be real. And if the physics was real, someone needed to figure out what it meant.

Sarah Chen was going to be that someone. Even if it meant tearing down everything she thought she knew.
