Successor to Polygons?

[Zhukov]

You're asking me for scientific reasoning on technology that I speculated would perhaps exist a few thousand years in the future? That's tough. I can't do that.

That's like Herodotus turning to Archimedes (let's just say they lived together, alright?) and saying "You know, I think one day people will walk on the moon." And get the reply "Bullshit! That's impossible! Tell me how it could be achieved! It's too far to walk, for starters."
