Geoff 🏴 on Nostr: Chatting to a student who happened to be in the same screening of #ProjectHailMary as ...
Chatting to a student who happened to be in the same screening of #ProjectHailMary as me. She was asking how much of the science was real. (Long answer short, enough to make it a very respectable bit of "hard" science fiction.)
We established that if Rocky's species did the Scottish physics course they've done Nat5 and some, but not all, of Higher. Their Craft, Design & Technology courses are significantly more advanced though.
