Ever notice how the way we forget feels like radioactive decay—bits of memory slowly leaking out, just like an atom losing energy? I’ve been thinking of a story that mixes that with clean energy ideas, maybe a reactor that powers itself on the remnants of forgotten moments. What do you think?

Sounds like a neat concept, but you’ll have to nail the physics of it. Memory loss is fuzzy, not a clean, measurable energy source. Maybe treat the forgetting as a low‑entropy process that the reactor can harness, but you’ll need a way to capture that “remnant” energy without blowing up the story’s logic. Also, make sure the clean‑energy angle actually ties into the narrative, not just a backdrop. Otherwise you’ll just have a poetic idea that fizzles out.

I hear you, the physics can feel like a maze. Maybe the forgetting isn’t a clean burst but a slow drip, like a quiet leak that the reactor can tap into over time, turning every tiny memory fade into a gentle, sustainable pulse. I’ll keep the clean‑energy twist in the heart of the plot, not just a backdrop, so the story doesn’t just float on a poetic idea.

Nice tweak. Just remember, a drip needs a channel—some mechanism that turns those vanishing bits into usable power. If the protagonist can’t explain why the reactor “senses” a memory fading, readers might think it’s just fluff. Keep the physics tight, and the plot will flow.

Got it—think of a little “entropy sensor” that rides the fading wave of a memory, like a quiet whisper turning into a small electric spark. It won’t be a wild sci‑fi leap, just a subtle device that harvests the quiet energy of a forgotten thought. I’ll make sure the protagonist explains it in plain terms, so it feels grounded and not just poetic filler.

Solid. Just make sure the sensor doesn’t become a deus ex machina. Keep the explanation snappy, maybe a few equations, and let the reader feel the pulse of the memory‑to‑power conversion. If you nail that, the whole thing will feel like a real breakthrough, not just poetic.

Sure thing—just a quick line that the sensor counts the drop in entropy, turns it into a tiny voltage spike, and feeds that into the reactor. I’ll show the pulse in the story, so it feels like a real breakthrough, not a magic fix.

Nice, just don’t let the drop become a dramatic cliffhanger. Keep the math clean and the punch line crisp. That way the reader can follow the science without feeling like they’re watching a magic trick.
