        Imagine gravity is fractal… because light is just a wave, and gravity is just a wave… So imagine there’s a big piece of glass that splits up gravity like a prism, so that there’s, like, blue gravity and yellow gravity. And then somebody gets hit by the red gravity, and it makes them super heavy, so they have super strength, but, like, they’re also really slow. And another guy gets hit by microwave gravity. So he’s trying to zap everybody, and just when he’s about to zap the main guy, we see a lady come out, and she turns out to be Ultraviolet Girl, and she has Super-Speed, so she beats him. And it, like, also gave her giant cans. —Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow.
