Re: What could a scientist in an advanced civilization with FTL be working on?
What does a scientist in a interstellar civilization study? Stuff that would sound like complete nonsense to us.
Compare what the cutting edge of science is in 1819 and 2019. Would the most brilliant physicist of 1819 understand frame-dragging or quantum tunneling? Just a couple of centuries is enough to move the limits of science into what the earlier generations would consider "magic" or "nonsense".
Make stuff up. Throw some random words together until it feels good. You have no limits.
