There is an astrophysicist here on youtube called Dr Becky Smethurst. She covers all sorts of space news and answers question. She is very enthusiastic and she loves black holes the most. She has a book called "A Brief History of Black Holes". It didn't get me into science fiction, that accolade goes to Star Trek: TNG. Songs.

Isaac Arthur has a whole section of videos about megastructures, including Dyson Spheres. As for Science Fiction, I will again recommend the Heechee series by Frederick Pohl, beginning with the novel “Gateway.” Some interesting music is “The Pentateuch of The Cosmogony,” by Dave Greenslade and Patrick Woodroffe. There is an accompanying book called “The Second Earth.” Another fun album is “Children of The Sun,” by Billy Thorpe.

[@VECT0R777]

Excellent suggestion

I enjoyed "The Expanse" series of novels. I was introduced to the story by the screen adaptation and was immediately hooked, then read all the published books to keep going while waiting for more of the show. iirc it's written by a pair of authors who shared the nom de plume "James S. A. Corey". They did a lot of the world building for a game of some sort then pivoted to writing their own stories. The first in the series is called "Leviathan Wakes (2011)". idk if you'll enjoy them, but I certainly did.

Have you read the Foundation novels by Isaac Asimov? That's one of the first bunch of science fiction I ever read back when I was 14 and it got me hooked. There are also the Robot novels (I, Robot is part of the canon, but takes place millennia before) which Asimov connected with the Foundation series in the 80s. Asimov also wrote a lot of other interesting works. Fantastic Voyage (a novelization of the movie) and Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain (a standalone novel not connected to the first one) are interesting reads. The Space Odyssey books by Arthur C. Clarke are science fiction mainstays. Everyone knows 2001: A Space Odyssey, but he also wrote 2010: Odyssey Two, 2061: Odyssey Three, and 3001: The Final Odyssey.

For good Science Fiction books, wow, er, here are two choices I rate hugely. Read DUNE by Frank Herbert, that is a fave for me. Also, read the book BEFORE you see the film. if not, read the book soon after. Another choice I highly recommend would be Children Of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Absolutely written so well. Prepare to be surprised. A lot! Oh, yeah, Issac Arthurs channel is superb. Love your channel too.

[@NoProtocol]

I’ve yet to see the DUNE film but I have read the book, wasn’t a big fan. Maybe I should try the movie now that the 2nd is coming out. Also, completely agree that Tchaikovsky was well written!

[@FrenchCelt]

@@NoProtocol The 1st Dune novel is one of my least favorite in the series. I recommend you keep going. I liked Dune Messiah and Children of Dune more than Dune. God Emperor of Dune is the most ambitious, but incredibly dense, of the series, and my least favorite of all. My favorite Dune novels by Frank Herbert are the final two, Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse Dune. I haven't bothered to read the books by his son.

Brian Greene and Sean Carroll has interested most about Black Holes, I can listen to Sean all day. He`s an amazing teacher, I usually struggle with focusing but with him I cant stop watching.

I had a military philosophy course in college which delved pretty heavily into a science fiction novel. Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein. In addition to being a pretty great story (and made into a pretty poor movie), it discussed concepts like citizenship through service, rules of war, fair treatment of prisoners, suffrage, punishment, and civic virtue. It's really a philosophical novel masquerading as science fiction. I recommend it.

[@ravenward626]

The movie adaptation was directed by "Paul Verhoeven". His direction softens some of the edges on the pointier themes with some social satire. Same guy who directed the first Robocop movie.

[@lewd2851]

Its funny how theres always been this massive polarization over the starship troopers movie, i think its a great movie and a really fun watch, but there's people who'll swear it killed their dog because the direction deviated from the source.

The Eyre Affair mix some sci-fi elements to “what if one can enter the books people read?” It is the first in the Thursday Next series set in an alternate earth involving weird tech, eye rolling silliness, and TONS of literary references.

Two things come to mind... First, The Simpsons episode where Homer gets sucked into a black hole (introducing then-cutting-edge animation). Second, the last song on Rush's album, A Farewell To Kings album, where 'our hero' flies his spaceship into a black hole; and then we had to wait for the release of the following album, Hemispheres, to find out if the character lives or dies. The rest of the story is steeped in Greek mythology, and is well worth listening to...

The book that got me into sci fi was Enders game. I’ve read that book way too many times 😂

[@obiwanbenobi4943]

Dragon's Egg and Starquake are both good reads for science-fiction. And as far as recent authors I enjoy Alastair Reynolds writes things with a lot of imagination and that is what I like along with the science. What got me into reading science-fiction? The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings actually were books that I really enjoyed (and still do all these years later) and I wanted to read more large universe world building kinds of stories but not too many were at the scale and complexity which captured me. Some by Piers Anthony and Arthur Clarke and several others did give me enough substance. A bunch of other authors deserve honorable mentions by me.

[@NoProtocol]

Oddly enough I think The Hobbit is a book that initially turned me off from the genre. I haven’t read a thing from Alastair Reynolds, first I’m hearing of him. I’ll look him up! Thank you (:

[@obiwanbenobi4943]

P.S. If you want another interesting deep dive to get into look at what Biosphere II did and what happened there... I consider that a really interesting example of where science and psychology collided and also the idea of designing a complete biosphere was critical to thinking more about what it will be like to try to do something in space (and what might possibly go wrong).

I just found your videos, and it's interesting you have this book and music section. For science fiction music you should definitely should check out Ayreon and Star One,. Ayreon tells its own science fiction story spread across several space opera albums. Star One is music based on science fiction movies. For books a can recommend a serie I recently discovered myself, is The Bobiverse series by Dennis E. Taylor. Also Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton is worth reading.

[@robmaher42]

The Three Body Probelm - Liu Cixin is very good, if you haven't read that. Curious to see what Netflix do with it. Also, I recently read, A Memory Called Empire - Arkady Martine. As much a procedural drama as sci-fi. The sequel, A Desolation Called peace is more straight up space opera.

[@scottdebruyn7038]

As to book recommendations, 3 Dune trilogies by Brian Herbert (yes, Frank's son) and Kevin J. Anderson (a great science fiction writer in his own rite). All 3 trilogies (yes, 3 books in each trilogy) are great sci-fi, but they all create the history then expand 'the Dune universe'. I personally feel that Brian & Kevin were much better at the character development than Frank, making these trilogies much richer in the story telling. Start with the 'House' series (aka 'The Prelude to Dune' series) beginning with 'House Atreides'. If that doesn't wet your appetite for more of that series, go to 'The Legends of Dune' series starting with 'The Butlerian Jihad'. It's much darker and graphic because it is the beginning the long escape from Machine tyranny. This series contained 3 books that I could not put down! The last trilogy of these 3 that I read and can recommend, is a sequel to Dune, where the first 2 trilogies are prequels. Although captivating, they were more cerebral and I consumed them more slowly. I'm now near 65 and I read Frank's original classic as a boy of 8 or 9 just 4 or 5 years after it was written. When I heard of his son's ambitions, I read the first and eagerly awaited and consumed each as they released in 1999 through 2022. I eagerly await your being turned on to the genre as I was. 😁😶‍🌫 Here is a good pair of links for you: www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/g38012512/dune-books-in-order/ And: dunenovels.com/expanded-dune-universe/

The actual mirror sphere would be a piece of cake once we overcame the very obstacles to us being in the position to actually build it: the infrastructure to travel and exist in space for extended periods of time, communicate over cosmic distances in reasonable timeframes, and coordinate construction and maintainence. It's like the idea of baking a cake with ingredients produced all over the world. The actual difficult parts are already taken care of by our logistics and technology. We can coordinate the transport and preservation of the materials we need on time tables where they are regularly available for you to pop over to your local grocery and pick up all the ingredients in one place. The actual cake is trivial compared to getting past everything that stood in our way in the first place. A medieval peasant would struggle to get everything they need together before it spoiled.

I like the angular momentum angle of the discussion but, love the physics of "spaghettification" much more. The idea that gravity and the physics of its force increasing exponentially as the distance decreases. Making it such, that near the event horizon of a black hole, it makes the difference in force exerted on the molecules of the part closest, to the part farthest would make them accelerate at such different rates, that it would pull you apart.. Stretching you out into a stream of particles like pasta dough through a spaghetti machine. I often think of the way that oxygen is a denser component of the atmosphere, making it so that, there is more oxygen near your feet than near your head. But Earth's gravity makes that difference so slight as to be negligible, while at this black hole... Bye-Bye toenails first. The scale of it! 😬😲😯😏

Hi, yes! I ended up listening to the audiobook version when it was recommended after MKUltra was mentioned on the channel. Was it you who recommended me the book back then? If so, thank you 😊

[@brownmid]

Yes it may have if you don't have others who mention it. I have something very deeper I want to show you that I'm might get into trouble for but it's a couple of testimonies that will shock you. I have a friend by the name of Karen M. Stewart she's worked for the NSA for close to thirty years she's been seriously wronged by our own government it's deep. They are doing many people without them knowing. Do you have an email? @@NoProtocol

Wouldn't the radiation be too extreme to be close to a black hole?

[@mr.jglokta191]

Of course they had to use homer sleeping at the job to explain why the black hole exploded 😂

Good eye, I didn’t catch that the first time around!

Was I the only one that caught Pinky and the Brain at 6:27?

I wonder if "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" is sufficiently spacey?

[@NoProtocol]

I’ve read this book before, although the movie was good, not my favorite. Definitely in the sci-if genre though!

[@SimonJM]

Having an author friend who writes (among other things) Science Fiction it pains me that I cannot suggest a book of his, as by now if you were of a mind to enjoy SF you would have found one, at least, that intrigues you - sorry Jae!!! So, instead I think I have mentioned this before, but Dr Becky Smethurst (channel Dr. Becky), an astrophysicist whose main interest is black holes has written a book (factual!) about them. For music, well ... how about Astronomy by Blue Oyster Cult? Pretty sure I have already mentioned Black Holes by The Warning in a comment on a previous video!

"The Martian" by Andy Weir.

[@NoProtocol]

I’ve read this one, it was alright. The book was well written though! Just not one that I wanted to pick up again

Actually they don't spin faster, it appears that way only because its getting smaller

Do you know what your MBTI type is?

Alice in quantumland, by Robert Gilmore is the first book that got me into quantum physics....
