Momentum? Quantum tunneling of the flavor atoms?

• Timon3 3y ago
  "Quantum tunneling of the flavor atoms" sounds like the title of an amazing 80s SciFi novel dealing with the fleeting nature of life amidst a group of chefs who let themselves not be stopped by the laws of nature in pursuit of new, better food experiences.

    Jerry Pournelle would have written it while procrastinating about writing an article for BYTE Magazine. Edit: it's not the same plot at all but this reminded me of the short story, "The Nothing Spot" (1978): http://vintage.failed-dam.org/nothing.htm http://vintage.failed-dam.org/nothing.htm

      Fun story, thank you for sharing! The beginning reminded me of the concept of the Pale from Disco Elysium.

      Man we made hard to use websites back in the day. Fixed breaks and tiny font on a mottled similar colour background! I wish more browser apps had a reading mode
