I'm *see title* and thinking that this goes a long way to explain a lot of the ideas in game. Especially Gaia. It really should be updated and put into a PDF. It's a lot of information and most people wouldn't be interested in reading the logic of all the physics but the information is useful. Maybe have a crib sheet for it in the main book and reference the tech book if the players want more.
In the general populace I'd say 0 of 0 people would really read through it but lets face it, the RPG community has a few geeks and nerds (raising my hand) that would get into it. I think it makes a lot of the terms used more understandable.
All I've gotta say is. . . Really? You had to go and re-invent physics? I like it!
