This episode I invite my friend Paul to help me tackle the gigantic topic of traveling across space. Using examples from Interstellar, Stargate, Star Wars and more, we talk about how it works, how it may work in the future, and the interesting theoretical concepts that science fiction uses today to make interstellar travel possible and to tell the best stories.

Research from this episode includes:

The Science of Interstellar by Kip Thorne

Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli

How to Build Your Own Spaceship by Piers Bizony
