I think the only one that is not mainstream (and is, in fact, complete fantasy) is the "gravity diode". The others are real things. No idea what the point of the thread is, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again, I've learned more than I initially hoped for when I commented in this topic! Side note: Maybe the topic was intended for the puzzles section, as an "Spot the Odd One Out" quiz? You would have responded quicker than me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
