Musings On A The Existence Of Parallel Universes

Musings On A The Existence Of Parallel Universes

by Byron Seastrunk | Apr 17, 2021 | General, New, Science Fiction, Technology

The concept of parallel universes has always fascinated us. Think about worlds identical in every respect to ours except for a single difference. Somewhere out there we took that job in California or married our childhood sweetheart or won the lottery. Roger Zelazny...

Time Travel As Viewed By Einstein. A Simplified Discussion

by Byron Seastrunk | Feb 15, 2020 | Engineer, General, New, Science Fiction, Technology

Time travel, I don’t know of any other concept so used and misused in Science Fiction. Although judging from Avengers Endgame, a lot of writers have problems with the concept. Still, despite the inherent paradoxes, from the time I was first introduced to the concept,...

The Pleasure of Finding Things Out by Richard Feynman, Too Enjoyable?

by Byron Seastrunk | Aug 3, 2019 | General, New, Science Fiction, Technology

Most of My Knowledge Started With Failure

Considering What E=mc2 Means To Science Fiction

by Byron Seastrunk | Jul 10, 2016 | Blogging, Engineer, General, New, Science Fiction, Technology

In a world where we have to struggle just to keep up with the latest in technology, it’s all too easy to take things for granted. For example, we’ve all seen Einstein’s equation, E=mc2. Most of us know the equation has something to do with mass, energy and the speed...

Amazon vs Hachette, A Consumer’s View

by Byron Seastrunk | Aug 15, 2014 | Blogging, General, New, Science Fiction

In the current argument between Amazon and Hachette, I’m not qualified to discuss the finer details of price points and author royalties. What I can discuss is my opinion and my response as a consumer. I don’t expect anything I say to influence Hachette. I...
