It's the same, Star Trek uses technobabble and Star Wars uses non-verbal technobabble to explain FTL
The Psalms of Isaak series did this very well at the beginning -- starts off with a magic fantasy land but as you read you realize that there were forebearers with immense science and technology, and weaves a conflict between the two.
The type of food that's the worst for pipes is fats, oils, and grease. You should never put any of these down a pipe because they can solidify and cause pipes to burst. Restaurants are required by law to have a grease trap for any grease that inadvertently goes down to minimize the damage.
The occasional vegetable scraps going down a residential garbage disposal will not pose a huge problem, but keep out any fats, oils, or grease.
It is so good on a touchscreen though.
Yes, that makes sense. There are also light poles and things people might back into.

Is it Amnesia?

The laws of physics are best understood at standard temperatures and pressures, where we have loads of data. To understand how physics works in more extreme circumstances, we have to create those circumstances and then measure what happens. At CERN, they accelerate particles very fast, smash them together, and record and analyze what happened. This is how they observed the Higgs boson and measured its properties.
From the article, it looks like one of the experiments is to shoot the laser into an oncoming high speed beam of electrons. One of the things they're looking for is if this high amount of energy causes matter and anti matter pairs to spontaneously form and annihilate. Our theories predict this but the more ways we can measure it the more we can learn, for instance about what happened right after the big bang, and why we were left with matter instead of everything annihilating symmetrically.
One criticism I saw was that if you want to verify, you have to use a Google Form and log in with a Google account, which goes against lots of people's efforts to get off Google.
