*plasma, really
This one time, I was playing around with a zero impedance air gap manipulator, and I almost created a hole in the space time continuum - luckily the gravitational forces and the non-zero size of the event horizon quickly changed the environment variables - effectively making the zero impedance air gap manipulator a non-zero impedance air gap manipulator, which of course is not as dangerous.

that was a close one!

I think I might have pics somewhere of the manipulator with the background distorted due to the residual graviton-muon Interaction.. i'll look for them...
