Ooh a double reference, fancy!

I can imagine it might be a tad difficult to produce processors on a nanometer scale if the entire building is shaking violently.

Absolutely, but calling it a reference implies that it was intentional by the writer, which seems unlikely considering what he's said about such things.

Not everything needs to have deep/real-world meaning. As i recall, Tolkien really didn't like people ascribing such things to his writing. They're just stories and should be treated as such.

It's not a threat, it's an admission of guilt.

Then you should communicate that better. "aren't these just autistic people with aspergers" makes it seem like you think everyone with aspergers is like this.

I have a friend with Aspergers who would be quite offended by that comment. These people are just idiots, don't blame it on a diagnosis.

Idk man, have you done the math on whether the universe expands yourself? Because i haven't. I simply believe that the scientists who have aren't lying to me, same as I believe that Jupiter is in fact a giant sphere of gas, because that's what I've been told.

No one can verify all of science, so we must all trust that those who came before us got things right (unless we discover that they didn't ofc).

Therefore, i believe in science.

Someone had a stroke in the middle of that second sentence, either me or the author.

The whole point of doing it this way is that it doesn't need to be maintained. Once it's full you just fill the tunnels up (probably with dirt and/or rock) and close them off and you're good, it'll sit there for those 100,000 years.
