4 out of 5 stars ****
The Great Courses provide a lecture about science in this Audible Book. Science Fiction compliments science with its pursuit of Time Travel, Multiverse, Artificial Gravity, Faster than the Speed of Light Theories. Erin Macdonald explains why some futuristic innovations in Science Fiction are feasible and why some are not. Macdonald admits she is a Star Trek fan. The writers go to great lengths to explain how its Transporter technology needs a new technology, that does not exist today, in order to adjust for a law of physics that would otherwise make Transporters impossible.
The expansive universe fascinates a curious mind who thirsts for knowledge, truth, and hopes that the future looks as bright and wondrous as stories depict. These stories from foundations of science entertain without insulting the very people responsible for finding solutions to future problems. The Science of Sci-Fi: From Warp Speed to Interstellar Travel sparks interest in the sciences because of the cheery attitude of Erin Macdonald as narrator. Her enthusiasm conveys that SciFi novels/movies are precursors for limitless adventure, gadgets, and services.
