Fiction:Impossible Minerals of the Galaxy

Impossible Minerals of the Galaxy is a book describing various substances that appear to violate the known laws of physics, as well as justifying how they are supposed to do so. Although widely regarded as a hoax, the authenticity of the document is a major point of several conspiracy theories, which tend to point out that the existence of said "impossible minerals" cannot be disproved due to the book's failure to mention exactly which galaxy they are found within.

The majority of the described items are alleged to be composed partly or mostly of continuum, a substance that exists outside of known physics: it is not composed of discrete particles, and has mechanics governed by action-at-a-distace kinematics rather than the local dynamics of quantum fields. This is claimed to explain their seemingly-impossible properties, but details are lacking. Microscopic pieces of continuum are known as rays, while macroscopic ones are known as flux, and certain configurations of flux and rays held within regular matter are make up the so-called "impossible minerals".
