Travelling faster than light is impossible. Here's why, and how science fiction gets around the problem
By Amy Arthur| BBC Sky at Night Verified Space is… big. Any story that involves characters traversing it needs to come up with a way to address the vast distances between galaxies. There are a few ways that sci-fi writers get around this problem of moving their protagonists from one point in space to another, including teleportation, wormholes and faster-than-light travel.
By Amy Arthur| BBC Sky at Night Verified Most great explosions that happen in space-based science fiction movies are accompanied by an almighty ‘ka-boom!’, but you already know that this is only possible in Hollywood space. In reality, an explosion in space would be deathly silent. On Earth, the most damaging part of an explosion is the shock wave it creates in the air.
By Amy Arthur| BBC Sky at Night Verified There have been some memorable fight scenes in space science fiction over the years, but how many of them are an accurate representation of how the struggle would play out in microgravity? Let’s look first at one-on-one combat. We don’t see many fights between individuals wearing bulky spacesuits, which makes sense, given they would hinder movement. It probably wouldn’t make for a very engaging action scene. So we’ll assume we’re talking about a fight inside, where the air is oxygenated.
