“Message Found in a Gravity Wave”

Back in May, 2008, I was posting about the so-called Cyclic Universe theory, and about three SF stories I was writing on this theme.

My first cyclic universe story, “Message Found in a Gravity Wave,” is in the current issue of Nature Physics, and you can read it online.

Working with Bruce Sterling, I recently co-authored a second story on this theme, “Colliding Branes.” We’ve sold it to Asimov’s SF Magazine; I’ll let you know when it comes out. And I’m currently co-authoring a third story involving these ideas with Paul Di Filippo, under the working title “To See Infinity Bare.”

    4D video game: “Adanaxis.” It’s a space shooter in four spacial dimensions, and it’s free. Can be found here: http://www.mushware.com. I’m working on my own 4D video game right now, but I’d rather not give details of it at the moment ;-D

    I was inspired by Rudy’s Spaceland.

    I discovered Rudy back when I was around 13 ( I’m 42 now). I found White Light in a small drugstore rack. It was packaged as a sensational life after death thriller. I didn’t know what I had stumbled onto! I reread that book untill it was a coverless, tattered, broken spined remnant, missing the first an last dozen pages. I managed to find several other Ruker books over the years, each one making me appreciate more and more that such a unique author existed. Hats off to the real Kilgore Trout!

    I’ve finally gotten around to reading the The Long Tail, and the early part of the book contains a great description of the growing importance of amateur astronomers lending their eyes and spare computer cycles to overwhelming tasks like this one.
