I had my suspicions that it was mathematic/scientific in nature. I always giggle a lot when Stargate talks about "subspace communications."
Yeah, it's always a bitch trying to talk about a community that most listeners won't be familiar with. I was really lucky this year, because I was speaking to a crowd of experts about a town they all know and an informant that most of them know personally. But last year I gave a talk on fanfic communities, and oof. I had thirty minutes and still barely had enough time to explain myself.
