Prompt engineering

I mean... MIT didn't really prove it... You know... FIRST... Because I did it, like, initially.
Hym "Prompt engineering is what I am all about! It's like my whole thing. Conceptual engineering. Man. I could have told you that! Before you even did the research."

Unreal Engine Slop

A term that originated in 2025 (But got popularized due to Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 winning Game of The Year) to describe games that have been created with the game engine Unreal Engine 5

In general, these games usually consist of photo-realistic, open-world settings that prioritize flashy graphics with high ray tracing instead of gameplay and optimization, leading to janky messes that most PCs and consoles can barely run at 60 FPS.
-Dude, how did expedition 33 win Game of The Year?!
-I know, right? That game is straight up Unreal Engine Slop.

Relativistic Engineering

The discipline of designing machines, structures, or systems that must operate under the extreme conditions of near-light-speed travel or in regions of intense gravitational fields where relativity is the dominant force. It’s mechanical engineering for a universe where mass increases with velocity, lengths contract, and synchronizing clocks is a philosophical nightmare. Forget steel and bolts; think about containing energies that warp local spacetime.
*Example: Designing the hull of a relativistic starship. At 0.9c, even a speck of interstellar dust hits with the energy of a nuclear bomb. Your shielding isn't just "strong metal"; it might involve creating a forward-facing plasma shield or using a projected magnetic field to ionize and deflect atoms. Also, your onboard computers have to be built from the ground up to handle their own internal signals experiencing time dilation relative to other parts of the ship. It's engineering where the textbook pages are stuck together with space-time curvature.* It's Relativistic Engineering.

Spacetime Engineering

The ultimate discipline: the active manipulation of the four-dimensional fabric of the universe (three space + one time) as a direct substrate for construction. This is god-tier civil engineering. You're not building in space; you're building with spacetime. Your tools are concepts like negative energy densities, cosmic strings, and naked singularities. Your blueprints are solutions to Einstein's field equations.
Example: Building a stable, traversable wormhole for transit. Spacetime engineers wouldn't just "find" one; they'd need to fabricate it. This theoretically requires exotic matter with negative energy to prop the throat open against gravitational collapse. Or, imagine "stitching" two distant regions of space together, like creating a cosmic subway tunnel that bypasses the need for travel through the intervening void. It's the kind of engineering that doesn't just change the landscape; it changes the map itself. It's Spacetime Engineering.

Noetherian Engineering

The discipline of designing machines and systems where the core functionality arises from the creation, manipulation, or breaking of continuous symmetries to harness the corresponding conserved quantities as power, control, or structural forces. It's engineering where the blueprints are group theory equations, and the safety checks are conservation laws. Failure occurs not when a bolt shears, but when a symmetry is accidentally restored, shutting down the desired effect.
Example: Building a Gravity-Independent Generator on the Moon. You create a donut-shaped chamber where you establish a perfect translational symmetry in the electromagnetic field along its ring. You then carefully break that symmetry by introducing a pulsed, moving distortion. Noether's Theorem demands this breaking generates a conserved current (energy-momentum). The system harvests this as electrical power. The "fuel" is the act of strategically breaking symmetry, and the power output is directly dictated by the rate and method of the breaking. It's a generator powered by controlled imperfection. Noetherian Engineering.

human factors engineering

i) the process and effects of intentionally playing on a persons attributes to achieve a goal, either directly or indirectly.
I didnt want Amy going out with Mark, but i knew she was planning to go out with him on friday, so i relied on Jenny's gossip mouth by telling her best friend Cathy that Mark had VD. She told everyone else and Amy went out with me instead. Ingenious human factors engineering
