This weekend you may ask a real , live physicist ( me ) any question you like – nothing is too dazed , or too weird . And next calendar week , you ’ll get answers !
It ’s happened to all of us . You ’re in the midsection of your Picard / Spock slash fic , and abruptly you come up with a brilliant new dilithium crystal form , or a method acting for using quantum entanglement as an intergalactic walkie - talkie , or simply a fresh subatomic particle , and you require yourself , “ Can this really shape ? ”
I jazz you have a thirstiness that Wikipedia but ca n’t slake . You ’ve been work for month on your magnum opus , but before you break it to the humans you want it to be scientifically good . I ’m here to help . You remember in school when you were tell , “ There are no dumb questions ” ? You never really consider that in your heart , and so you ’ve arrest your tongue .
The meekness window closes at 5 pm PDT on Monday , April 26 , but in the meanwhile , feel costless to see to it out A User ’s Guide to the Universe in which my co - author and I respond every interrogation we can guess of . Come to think of it , the best question gets a free Quran !
Dave Goldberg is the author , with Jeff Blomquist , of “ A User ’s Guide to the Universe : make it the Perils of Black Holes , Time Paradoxes , and Quantum Uncertainty . ” ( Wiley : 2010 ) . He is an associate prof of Physics at Drexel University . Most recently , he wrote “ An Open Letter to the Writers and Directors of Hot Tub Time Machine ” in io9 , and yes , he was frakking josh .
