What is a Ygg-World Problem?

Definition: A Ygg-World Problem - This is a calculation or non-calculation-based problem that pertains to the Yggdrasil World. It is a problem based on your own curiosity about the world that focuses on discovery, creativity, and making the world realistic.

A Ygg-World Problem may be check of the numbers that Dr. Lindsay has written into the world, side stories, and the Salvation of the Yggdrasil. It could be based on your own curiosity about the Yggdrasil, the other ships and probes, the society, the facilities, etc. In general, Ygg-World Problems help this sci-fi universe become hard science fiction.

Hard Sci-Fi: Hard science ficiton focuses on physical realism and scientific accuracy. To the best of its ability, it eschews futuristic technology that is indistinguishable from magic. The technology of a hard science fictional world is based on our understanding of science. It, however, can take some liberties to imagine past current gaps that prevent certain technologies from existing (e.g., the Yggdrasil uses fusion generators and drives, but these do not exist yet in our reality).  Key words: For hard sci-fi, the science and technology are realistic and plausible.

Soft Sci-Fi isn't the antithesis to hard sci-fi. Instead, soft sci-fi refers to science fiction that focuses more on sociology, psychology, politics, and human relationships. It focuses on things like the impacts that technology can have on people and society. You can have a science fictional work be both hard and soft sci-fi.
