about that commander shepard: mass effect statue 1.0 by hyperchildwow
The civilizations of the galaxy called it ... MASS EFFECT.
Mass Effect is an action role-playing game developed by BioWare exclusively for the Xbox 360, which was released worldwide in November, 2007. The game takes place in the year 2183, with the player assuming the role of an elite human soldier named Commander Shepard, set out to explore a vast universe on his/her ship, the SSV Normandy ...
... the term "mass effect" refers to a newly discovered physics phenomenon that has properties along the lines of other physics forces such as gravity and electromagnetism. It's what physicists in real life are currently calling "dark energy," as an explanation for the accelerating expansion of the universe - in which certain beings are able to sense and manipulate mass effect much like some real-life creatures (such as sharks and electric eels) can sense and manipulate electromagnetism. These abilities will be augmentable via implants, and the manipulation of mass effect is referred to as Biotics. [wiki]
