Dual-Vector Foil

Item from remembrance-of-earths-past by Cixin Liu

A small, paper-thin slip — the size of a credit card, white as a business card — which when activated collapses three-dimensional space into two dimensions over a runaway radius. The Dark Forest weapon that flattened the Solar System.

What They Know

• Activation sequence and the runaway-collapse boundary, approximately 30-50 AU at deployment growing toward infinity
• The escape requirement: any vessel inside the field must achieve light-speed (curvature) or be flattened
• Singer's identity as the operator of the foil that killed the Solar System, and his species' apparent indifference to its arrival
