At atrociously high energy states, the properties of matter change subtly and new miracles become possible. The Plasma Accretion process is now dangerous and difficult to control, but its products will soon become commonplace in our society.

Breakthroughs in Applied Physics and Industrial Base lead to an understanding of High Energy Chemistry. This discipline seeks to understand the properties and behavior of matter at very high temperatures, and results in new types of materials that remain in a stable plasma state even when superheated by intense laser stimulation. #Frictionless Surfaces " Discovery of the Unified Field Theory allowed scientists to alter the fundamental properties of matter itself. The discovery of Frictionless Surfaces proves the most useful application of these techniques. As the name implies, Frictionless Surfaces consist of materials that remain unaffected by friction, a force that slows down motion by changing kinetic energy into heat energy. Moving objects made of these materials do not slow down as they come into contact with other matter.
