Garbage Horizon

A limit, where science has exhausted the interesting and useful things that can be done in a given field of study or technology. It is when further creative efforts begin producing mostly garbage, that the garbage horizon is reached. This reaching of the garbage horizon is the telltale sign that a field has matured, and that science is running out of useful new things to do in it. Like an event horizon, the garbage horizon is a boundary littered with spiraling trash, and from which no light escapes.

A patent search on engines reveals machines that have no clearly drawn means of extracting the heat and work, machines that are extraordinarily "busy" and probably don't work, and machines that have extraordinarily high contact pressures and would probably wear out very quickly when used, if they work at all. Most of this work is garbage. The rest is textbook stuff, the implementation of which is a matter of copy and paste, not the subject of new research. Hence, one concludes that the field of engines has reached a "Garbage Horizon".

garbage racoon

An individual that is treated like an absolute piece of trash by people that don't appreciate or respect them for who they are or what they provide. An animal treated sub par by other animals or humans.

He treats her like a garbage racoon whilst he runs around texting other busted women, in front of and behind her back...

Garbage sauce

The small packets of sauce, usually plum sauce but possibly chili sauce or soy sauce, included by the handful when ordering Chinese takeout or delivery. So named because no one wants them, at least not in the quantities supplied, and are thrown directly in the garbage unopened.

“I think they forgot your beef and broccoli— all that’s left in the bag is a couple extra chopsticks and some packets of garbage sauce.”
