Item from deaths-end by Liu Cixin
The end of the Solar System. The dual-vector foil unfolds and the planets fold flat from the rim inward — a death humanity watches in real time.
What They Know
- Initiated by Singer's dual-vector foil somewhere past Neptune
- Collapse front propagates at the speed of light through the Solar System
- Bunker shielding is useless — the foil collapses dimensionality, not energy
- Only the Halo lightspeed ship escapes; everyone else is two-dimensionalized
- Luo Ji dies on Pluto in the final hours, curating the museum to the end
