that's not a bad thing, in fact this critique just supports my point that you don't understand it.

And that's unironically completely ok. I'm doubtful I'm ever going to understand why people read Plato in the original Greek, but I'm not going to get hung up on it. Plus I'm a fucking biologist so I always have a hard time with physics and pure maths sections in hard scifi, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

As the scifi being about what the future has to offer, then a good scifi book should be able to convey that through a multitude of scientific vocabulary. If it can't it's a bad book. Don't blame hard scifi as a subgenre.

>The Silmarillion

Compare this to
>sulfuric batteries in a parallel / series mixed combination to power some space rocket
>Anon (You)

They've both babble being used to advance a story. It's a /sff/ authors ability to manipulate this babble which makes them talented.
