I'm a physics major and my passion for it started from overanalyzing superpowers. I was always super frustrated by how underutilized telekinesis was.
There was this book when I was a kid called quantum league that looking back was just pretty ok and not super scientifically perfect but it placed the idea of using telekinesis in an atomic sense. I don't think it ever got a sequel because I remember being frustrated that it clearly left on a cliff hanger and I'd check every year only to be disappointed.
I just checked and it still doesn't have a sequel
Do you have any other book recommendations? Although I dislike the trope of the application of actual scientific knowledge, as characters get very OP very quickly, I love seeing characters using yhe scientific method to figure out what they can or can't do.
I looked up the book description, and a strong sense of deja vu hit me at the word "actuator"... I think I've read this book before.
Currently reading Industrial Strength magic by Macronomicon, and it scratches this itch for me, but waiting for chapter updates, even when daily, is so painful.
