Spectrostromic

The Spectrostromic Theory is the meaning of how all physical and scientifically tested ideas like the theory of Space and Time aswell as the idea of Gravity and Aging, are defied as its own physical theory.
Another universe can have another Spectrostromic Theory than our own. And possibly have physical traits that are essentially impossible to exist in our Spectrostromic defied universe.

(EX: A different universe can have a different Spectrostromic Theory and basically defy space and time itself causing aging to stop, aswell as allowing us the possibility of essentially giving us inhuman physical powers aswell as ideas.)
Spectrostromic by Joe Dalal July 13, 2020
An agent of the Citadel office of Special Tactics and Reconnaissance. Although based on the Salarian Special Tactics Group, Spectres are expected to rely on their own resources, rather than being constantly funded by a governing body. However, they usually operate outside the bounds of galactic law.

Rather than being trained, the Citadel Council selects notable soldiers who have proven themselves capable of the strenuous responsibilities of upholding galactic law. Some agents are sympathetic peacekeepers who resolve issues with minimal bloodshed, while others are cold-blooded killers who eliminate problem individuals.
Asari Councilor: Commander Shepard - step forward.

Asari Councilor: It is the decision of the Council that you be granted all the powers and privileges of the Special Tactics and Reconnaissance branch of the Citadel.

Salarian Councilor: Spectres are not trained, but chosen. Individuals forged in the fire of service and battle; those whose actions elevate them above the rank and file.

Asari Councilor: Spectres are an ideal, a symbol. The embodiment of courage, determination, and self-reliance. They are the right-hand of the Council, instruments of our will.

Turian Councilor: Spectres bear a great burden. They are protectors of galactic peace, both our first and last line of defense. The safety of the galaxy is theirs to uphold.

Asari Councilor: You are the first human Spectre, Commander. This is a great accomplishment for you and your entire species.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) 

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, most commonly known as NMR spectroscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), is a spectroscopic technique to observe local magnetic fields around atomic nuclei. The sample is placed in a magnetic field and the NMR signal is produced by excitation of the nuclei sample with radio waves into nuclear magnetic resonance, which is detected with sensitive radio receivers. The intramolecular magnetic field around an atom in a molecule changes the resonance frequency, thus giving access to details of the electronic structure of a molecule and its individual functional groups. As the fields are unique or highly characteristic to individual compounds, in modern organic chemistry practice, NMR spectroscopy is the definitive method to identify monomolecular organic compounds.
Person 1: Do you think our laboratory needs an NMR-spectrometer?

Person 2: I've heard they're unbelievably expensive, but Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is an essential analytical procedure for sure .
