Subj: Re: [RFC] Theories on Handwavium
My favorite explanation, because I'm a deranged fan writer who deals in this kind of thing in most of his stories: Following the lead laid out by the great Heinlein, it's the accumulated creative energies of an author or authors from a parallel universe who are writing about us, "squeezed" into our 'verse from theirs in a kind of black hole/while hole pairing, transmuted into a physical form when it gets here. Of course, compared to the more serious suggestions, it completely fails when tested with Occam's Razor.
