At the very beginning it was 0 dimensional, as there was no space or time before the Big Bang. It was an infinite amount of energy compressed into an infinitely small point.

And it’s not like there was this little point of energy just sitting there waiting to explode. There was nothing, no space, no time, no matter, and no energy, and then in an instant, there was.

My father in law works on this project and he gave this context, fyi:

“This is an all-electric propulsion technology demonstrator. Electric propulsors over the wing are used for landing and takeoff. Otherwise, they are shutdown/stowed and aircraft flies with wing tip propulsors only. I have covered this technology in my Future Propulsion book”

So it sounds like it’s to make takeoff more efficient, but it’s not a 100% electric solution.
