I discovered Star Wars when I was about twelve. My parents are not big science fiction fans, so my first encounter came through a video game: X-Wing. Last month, after some two decades of nothing substantial, a new Star Wars space shooter came out: Squadrons.
The Interdependency series is a trilogy of scifi books by John Scalzi. The three books came out the past few years, and I recently finished the third installment.
Do you like the starry sky picture with this post? Guess what, it’s a generated image. I’ve repeatedly needed cool pictures of stars, and real ones are often copyrighted. So I cobbled some software together to generate starscapes. Have a go if you want.
You know what would happen if you made a real Death Star? And how many humans do you need to grow in tubes to power a robot society like in the Matrix? Stories can function perfectly well without proper math. However, making the correct calculations can enrich stories a lot.
