Have we asked (and answered) this question yet? - Bob Schroeck - 03-19-2010
The latest post to the SMOF panel thread, the one with Yuki, made me think of this, I can't remember if we've ever discussed it, and several searches of the Fenwiki result in no answer.
Is handwavium unique to Earth, or are there other civilizations out there using it?

I suppose I'd be shot if I said "that would be telling," yes?
Well, in that case... there is at least one artifact Out There that registers as a handwavium construct *and* is obviously non-human in origin.
