I found a paper entitled "Neutrino-antineutrino annihilation around a collapsar".

It has neutrinos, antineutrinos, annihilation, and a collapsing collapsar (star going through gravitational collapsing).

And, apparently, within the cold fusion process you can get neutrinos and antineutrinos emitted. With enough arm waving can you use this to create a car collapse/explosion or a ship collapse/explosion?

I really like fusion because hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. It's a natural energy source.

Keep busy Dirk! Thanks.

This is just evolution! Survival of the fittest. Be strong, grin, and survive. Canadians might take over some day. A chunk of the US is getting hit as well. I probably won't go to church on Sunday. Online services! Yeah!

Initial comments:
1. Dish? I imagine a big thing hanging off the ship. Also, does the dish always create the hole in front of the dish (ship)? It just seems clumsy or clunky. Remember the cloaking devise the Romulans used? Wasn't it internal to the ship? But you need some external geometry to have this discussion. I would make it sound more streamline.
2. "As you know" seems rather old fashioned or trying to spell it out too much.
3. You wrote: "Therefore, our shields were never designed to work there, leaving our ships’ fourth dimension unprotected.” I ASSUME you mean that the ships 4th dimension is sort of a portal (?). I'm trying to wrap my brain around my own personal 4th dimension.
4. I would spell out π. Pi or pi.
5. Great discussion on trying to explain what's going on. I'm confused though since apparently the blast can skip the shields and appear interior to the ship (?). Your average techno geek might enjoy this.

Good approach. Go for vagueness and don't worry about the details till maybe later. It doesn't add much to the story anyways, does it?

Are there alternatives to hyperspace or does modern math/tech require it? The Wrinkle in Time had a 5th dimensional tesseract. I don't know if that's the same as a wormhole or hyperspace. And CS Lewis in the Chronicles of Narnia used a ring crafted in Atlantis and it took you to a garden that connected to other worlds. At least that's what I remember without looking it up. Star Trek used warp speed.

Did Dune ever explain their drive mechanism?

Is there something else to use? Brainstorm time!!!!

The top is what you wrote. The bottom is what Grammarly suggests:

Welcome!
To follow up on George FLC's comment on grammar, and since I'm mostly lurking these days, here's my minimized lecture on grammar:
Grammar is not just a thing right or wrong. Grammar is a tool of the writer. In English's magnificently rich grammar there are usually many ways to present a structure of ideas. In a complex sentence, we choose which idea deserves the high seat of the main clause, and which ideas should support from subordinate clauses. We decide which modifiers deserve the weight of a relative clause, which justify a prepositional phrase, and which can be budgeted an adjective or adverb, according to how much of the reader's attention we want to spend on each. We order our clauses and sentences with care so that the prose flows smoothly through one topic and into the next, with a minimum of jumping back and forth.

Please, anyone, tell me what you think.

Well said, have fun.

The best one is The Sweltering. To swelter is common, which is good. Perhaps modifying that somewhat:

The Swelter Smack
The Swelter Belter
The Swelter Smelter

Thanks Dirk,
Very good comments. I like it. I might put it as:

"God said, "Well, if it isn't Satan, the prince of darkness."
Very minor change.

It's great that you have three different names in a couple lines.

And yes, I'm keeping track. So far, it's Satan 1, Lucifer 1. I friend outside this site suggested Lucifer.

How about this? A missile comes in and the Israeli Iron Dome system hits it. The wounded missile veers off course and crashes into the Dome of the Rock and annihilates it. This paves the way for Israel to rebuild their temple on the original site. The AC then will go into the temple as predicted by 2 Thess. 2:4. This interpretation, of course, is arguable but it sounds cool.

Is it possible that the events in the Holy Land will impact your tours, activities, and spiritual battles (think zombie nuns)? You'll probably have to wait till the war settles down... however long that takes.

It might be interesting to add an incoming missile to the story.
