Alex stepped forward and said n a tone that was casual, but matter of fact, "Like Cindy said, it is more about how you answer the question than the actual answers themselves. It is intended to display how you think and how well you can communicate those thoughts. For example, when you speak about the universe, what are you talking about? You have an idea in your head of what that word means, so that is how you define it. The trick is in how you describe that definition to others. Most consider it to be everything in existence, known and unknown, observable or not, encompassing all that space and time dwell within. As for the examples, that gets a bit more into the science and math fields, but the easy ones are an open universe, where it is infinite in all directions. A second obvious choice is then a closed one, where if you go in a straight line long and far enough, you eventually end up where you started. The third most common is called an inverse universe, which is a mathematical model in which the center is infinity and the outer edge is zero. It is used to test other math and physics concepts, as you technically can't disprove it, so the math should always work out the same, just inverted. There are other answers, but none are a wrong way to answer, even if the answers themselves might be technically of factually flawed."
He leaned against one of the lab tables and crossed his arms, grinning, "See what I mean? Don't try to think too hard about it though. I also am not going to tell you what it meant that you both tried to dodge the definition and didn't even try to give any examples. Just be glad that I'm not your Academy professor in Theoretical Physics."
He then said, "Display demo holo for India Mike Seven Six."
A holographic display appeared in the center of the room and Cindy stepped aside so the others could see. It showed a rotating image of a mechanical suit that then showed someone step up to it and become encased in it. The suit then lifted off the ground without using any thrusters, displaying a zero gravity field. There were then micro-thrusters in the hands, feet and back that propelled the person as a kind of flying suit.
He pointed, "THAT is the suit she as talking about. Personally, I enjoy using a kind of flying surfboard version, but everyone has their own version of silly toys, I suppose." He rolled his eyes, "End demo."
Looking at Xenara, Alex smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. It should serve you well, but I'm always available for consultations, should you ever have any questions or further needs of my services." He gave an elaborate bow.
Cindy gave another small sigh, "I forgot how much I have missed this sort of stuff."
Alex chuckled and said, "Maybe I should open up a little repair shop on the Promenade..."
