I still haven't seen the latest movie yet. It doesn't draw me in.

Now that we know that the cliffhangers from the last movie are irrelevant to this movie, there's certainly no rush.heydaralon wrote:I still haven't seen the latest movie yet. It doesn't draw me in.

I'm one of the biggest Banks fans around, but in terms of "technology", it's kind of in the Dr. Who zone, Banks SF isn't really about the tech.

Banks is all politics, he doesn't care about the tech, he just handwaves up a "Tardis" so he can avoid relativity. Which is fine, but it's overdone, Reynolds on the other hand, can do Space Opera, without violating the time paradox.

I've read it, but wormhole portals are paradoxical as well, you can't be over there, sooner than you left here, any way you slice it.TheReal_ND wrote:'This right here is how I know you haven't read The Algebraist
Over there, is the distant past, if you can teleport over there, that's time travel, which is magic by default, not technology.
Wormhole portal; a Tardis by any other name.
