Launching a satellite into orbit is as easy as pressing a single, big, red button.
One of the most complicated experiments in a huge testing facility consists of pressing a single button and pushing a single cart into a laser beam.
Shooting someone repeatedly in the foot, hands, and even weapon will cause their death.
The Zero Point Field Energy Manipulator is not a toy
When an experiment goes wrong, it’s not your fault. It’s just a giant inter-dimensional psychic flying baby with a crystal for a brain messing with you.
The Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator is called the Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator.
