what do you want to put in there? |

Well this idea could go in there for a start. |

//what do you want to put in there?// Fossils, of
course. To confound atheistical paleontologists. |

That would be palaeontology. |

Stuff from 'Strata' - aha! I've got one. |

We need a science:cosmological engineering
category. That will
take care of everything. After all, what are we more
concerned with: understanding how something
works or harnessing it for unprecedented
consequence? |
|

[19thly] Good catch. Yes, I specifically had in mind
the boot in
the coal measure. |

If you build a better category, halfbaked ideas will beat a path to its door. |

There's a category "home: pest control: trap" which is generically OK, but there really should be a category, "Halfbakery: Mousetrap: Better" |

I second that. It's even been practised since Neolithic
times:

However, I'd say we also need a cosmic engineering
category. AIUI, while
cosmological engineering attempts to affect or control
the cosmos itself,
cosmic engineering [link] merely affects or controls
smaller things in reaction
to or anticipation of cosmic behaviors. Conflation and
inflation probably don't go
well together. |
