I keep thinking about all the sci-fi I've seen where a machine with rotating parts opens up a portal or a wormhole...

Honestly it reminds me a bit of the macguffin used to amplify a signal to insterstellar distances used in The Three Body Problem book. Which given the rest of the novels makes me a little scared

the three body problem is one of the most terse piece of writing I have ever read if being absolutely honest

What’s wrong with tenseness? People praised Hemingway for it.

I don’t think that’s the word you meant to describe TBP though.
