Thanks

This episode, was a change up. In this episode We have Adam, Paul, Francis from thehabitualinsomniac.com

They help me see how other people are drawn into books.

Finally we have come back around to talking about human tech, or some of the tech they will have. This will be the start of the line. We will also talk about alien tech next week.

Becasue there are so many things to talk about, we talked about a few things in different catagories.

Here are some of the things we talked about:

Fusion reactors - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power

Fuel Cells - http://www.fuelcells.org/?gclid=CP3SqqPljZQCFSemQQod0haIXA  and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_cell

Nano Tech (bots) - http://www.kqed.org/quest/television/view/189?gclid=CJGiyMPljZQCFQUHQQodYx-cWA

Check these things out, Ill post more about this on our new forums.

In this episode we talk about, the issues that come up when trying to implement the FTL travel of the Higgs Field. This actually came about when we were talking about the technology that the humans would have.

As we were discussing tech, like a fusion reactor and how they work, we thought what happens when you turn on the field. so we are going to continue to work on a well rounded interstellar travel form for the humans. Like we said in the episode, if we have to make something up, we will give id a set of rules that always has to be followed.

Our next episode will be on human technology followed by alien tech.

Here are some things that we talked about in this episode:

Interesting Theories - http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SpeedOfLight/FTL.html

Heres what the wikis say - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster_than_light_travel

A funny post about Warp travel - http://www.sffchronicles.co.uk/forum/24849-what-is-this-transwarp-drive-thingy-anyhow.html

In this episode we talk about the different versions of FTL travel that will take part in the universe. I have already posted descriptions of the two main types that we talk about on the show. We also recap what we meant by what sci-fi is and what fantasy is.

We often rip apart things that we do not like in some shows like; Star Trek, Star Wars. Since we grew up with these shows, we like watching them but sometimes the inconsistencies just get to us. When we look at other shows/books and other media, we can see where they have gaps in the consistency. We would like to bridge that gap;  even now, Jim and I will be taking another visit on our FTL episode.

We will discuss possible concerns that we have come up with and try to refine these things. We would also like it if you would post any comments about your ideas, so that we can see what you think about our ideas, and maybe find something we missed.

Here are some things we talk about:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_and_Star_Trek

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole

Let us know what you think.

In this Episode, I lay down some refrence points for you. Then we talk about the differnce between scifi and fantasy. Last we talk about some things that influence us as hosts.

We talk about:

TED

Larry Niven - http://www.larryniven.org/

Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - http://youtube.com/watch?v=s9XotvwgnaY

These are just a few things that we talk about.

Here is a breif introduction to the hosts. We hope that you will get to know us and not think we are total wind bags.

- Corrections, Dan's Game is called Epoch of Rysos, I think I missed pernounced it. Also its not a D&D it his own system.

Let me talk a little more about the podcast for a second. Right now I have the introduction episodes, (0 and 1). Right now both of them are short but they are supposed to be. As for the length of the podcast episodes I will keep them to a max length of 1 hour, for now we are going to judge the standard length in the next five episodes. The episodes will be bi-weekly and have Jim and I as the main hosts, with possible guest hosts to fill in the gaps.

Just to reiterate, the initial podcast will not be the reading of the stories but the ideas that make up the story. we will offer the story when its ready in PDF format and possible audio book.
