"Um, Cyborg," you say. "Could you explain the science?"

"Sure," he says. "What part?"

"Um, all of it?" Raven says.

"Oh," he says. "Well, 'cosmospatial' relates to cosmology, such as the cosmological constant Control Freak mentioned. Einstein's cosmological constant lambda is in his field equations of general relativity, and it's been interpreted as the energy density of space, or vacuum energy, that arises in quantum mechanics."

"Okay," you say, still not quite sure. "And zero-point energy?"

"Zero-point energy is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical system may have. Quantum systems constantly fluctuate in their lowest energy state, as described by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. That means even at absolute zero, atoms and molecules retain some vibrational motion."

"Okay, that one I'm understanding a bit better," Raven says. "It takes advantage of the energy always inside an object, no matter what the conditions are."

"Quantum electrodynamics essentially describes how light and matter interact," Cyborg continues.

"And Brownian Motion?" you ask.

"That's the random motion of particles suspended in a medium, like liquids or gases," Cyborg says. "Then there's the wave-particle duality, in which every particle behaves as a particle but also as a wave. So putting those together, Control Freak's remote can account for the random motion of particles in the environment. I think it's what allows him to properly target an inanimate object to bring it to life."

"Then you were right earlier," you say. "We might need that to help designate the gold in an item that Aurum transmutates."
