I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

That's why the Expanse is fun. It's all relativistic physics except when it comes to the big bad alien thing.

On looking at a massive Martian battleship. "One of those things can kill a planet"
the best character: "Any ship can kill a planet. Just drop anvils from orbit."

TLJ is completely consistent with all of this. The hyperspace ramming isn't even hard to explain away with some :techno:. I did a Star Wars story for a charity anthology recently and thought about dropping in an explanation but couldn't really find the wordcount. Plus it's dumb when the EU fixes stuff that doesn't need fixing!


Like most of the Expanse, a quote that's superficially realistic but missing a few critical details.

Yup. For thread content, the Epstein drive. Just realistic enough to be feasible, but with absolutely no idea on how the drat thing actually works.
