Perimeter Institute: Warp drive and aliens: Bryan Gaensler public lecture webcast
Science fiction and science both inspire wonder and awe, albeit in very different ways.
At its best, science fiction asks profound questions about the human condition. In contrast, science asks – and often answers – even more profound questions about the very nature of matter, space, and time.
Both science fiction and science fact explore the concept of journeying to other stars and finding life on other worlds. When it comes to interstellar travel, the truth may soon become stranger (and more amazing) than fiction.
