It quite literally fit the prompt, which is great but not entirely unique. Like I love the idea you have here!
The prompt is heavy handed. I just realized that I could have made less prompt name drops. I did panic when I realized the idea I had to link the prompt did not fit in the scenes I wrote.... Rereading it, you can tell I panicked when I didn't get that far in the story and dropped really obvious references to the prompt XDDDD.
After judging, I am going to cut the ending scene and re-work it.
As far as the world-building. I'm so ecstatic that caught readers' interest. I spent a lot of time on that part... a disproportionately long time reading Steven Hawking's official website, studying the possible application of photons, and a ridiculously long time playing with words to create acronyms for space technobabble. The sci fi genre can trap you with details if you're not careful. *nervous laugh*
