The Apeiron is, in Ancient Greek cosmology, an original substance from whence all other substances emanate from. The Apeiron is an infinite and boundless and indeterminate substance. In Anaximander, the apeiron or "the boundless" is not subject to decay and constantly brings about fresh materials that brings about what we perceive through our senses. It is also what generates the opposites in nature, i.e. hot-cold, wet-dry, etc., etc.
In a Douglas Adams-esque way what if I used in a story the apeiron as a fuel for interspace travel or time traveling? That might be funny. The world of the story could incorporate a lot of Pre-Socratic Greek understandings of reality to humorous conclusions.
