Honestly it reminds me a bit of the macguffin used to amplify a signal to insterstellar distances used in The Three Body Problem book. Which given the rest of the novels makes me a little scared
I don’t think that’s the word you meant to describe TBP though.
However, if you do know science, you know pretty well all of this is just mumbo-jumbo so the suspense of disbelief disappears and there's just nothing left in the book that is sufficiently interesting.
