/sci/ - Science & Math

Hey /sci/ I'm hoping you can help me. Does anyone know of a short story with this description?

>Someone once wrote a short story with almost that exact basis. Turns out there's a really simple way to achieve interstellar travel and we overlooked it, so we kept pushing on with all sorts of other inventions like nuclear power. The aliens arrive to invade with muskets and are hopelessly outmatched. Can't remember the story's name.

Posted in /k/, but no one can remember the name.
>mfw /sci/ will probably just rage about FTL spaceships armed with black powder cannons.

So... if I work very hard, come up with an original idea, change the entire world for the better, I'm still an aspie because of my "intense" interests?

why so elitist, /sci/?
