Truth Stranger Than Thought: The Science Behind the Unthinkable
Explore the science behind extraordinary ideas through Deep Space Fiction inspired by real discoveries, where Space Exploration meets imagination and challenges the boundaries of what we believe is possible.
dimensions
How can we deal with more dimensions than the three we can see? How does Maths help if our brains cannot bank anymore on experience?
Bead of time
With the discovery of Exoplanets, listening to the night sky with radio telescopes should reveal a galaxy teaming of life. Explore with me one particular explanation for the Big Silence: civilisations are confined to their Bead of Time.
interstellar travel
Can we set foot on a planet in the Andromeda galaxy 2.6 million lightyears away? Can we get there in a couple of decades?
Faster than Light
Faster than Light travel would upset the natural order of cause and action. This has consequences for who can roam between the stars.
Light barrier
Even if you add more and more energy to a space rocket, its speed increases but never surpasses the vacuum speed of light.
time and gravity
The twin paradox is explained by observing time slows in gravity. Sat Navs take this into account or, otherwise, would be inaccurate by about 10 km per day.
Speed of Light
I review the evidence for the constancy of the speed of light. I bridge the time from the early days of the Michelson Morley experiment in 1887 - the most famous failed experiment in Physics - to modern times. We could have known earlier: Maxwell's theory predicted it in 1865. It needed the genius of an Albert Einstein to draw the conclusions.
