Think planetary rings are perfectly flat? Think again. 🪐

Saturn’s tiny moon, Daphnis, behaves like a cosmic speedboat, kicking up literal mountains of ice and dust over a mile high as it tears through the Keeler Gap.

Gravity gets weird when you look close.

MIT physicists just simulated time travel using quantum-entangled photons. ⚛️🕰️

No, it’s not a Delorean, but it’s closer to the "Interstellar" gravity-message theory than you’d think.

We just got a 20-year flight path to Alpha Centauri. 🚀

New research into 'metajets' has unlocked 3D maneuverability using pure light momentum—no fuel, no contact. As an author, this is the 'hard' in Hard SF.

Why this changes everything for interstellar travel (Thread) 👇

CERN just proved we can move the most volatile substance in the universe by road. 🚛⚛️

This is exactly the kind of "grounded" tech I use in my series. Check out my deep dive into the BASE experiment + grab Book 1 for 99¢ while the sale lasts!

[The Associated Press @AP]

Scientists at CERN are taking some antiprotons out for a spin in a never-tried-before test drive. If this so-called antimatter comes into contact with actual matter — even for a fraction of an instant — it will be annihilated in a quick flash of energy.

⚛️ CERN just put the most volatile substance in the known universe into a truck and drove it down the road." ⚛️🚛

92 antiprotons. 1 ton of superconducting magnets. 8km of road. It’s the world's first "antimatter delivery system." 🚛💥

Why this "insane" experiment changes everything (plus a 99¢ sale on my sci-fi thriller, #TheChiralAgent!): https://t.co/aZT8May5QO

[US Holocaust Museum @HolocaustMuseum]

Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.

@jrojr1971 Last time I looked, the main character in this book is not a woman. It's a fighter pilot, Micah Case. What trailer were you watching?

[LL Richman @lrichman]

A shocking discovery. A deadly interstellar pursuit. A soldier who won’t back down. The key to survival? A secret so dangerous, it could wipe out all life. The Chiral Agent is a sci-fi thriller, perfect for fans of expansive space adventures where good triumphs over corruption.

@chiefschicktx for sure, me too!

@jeffery_haskell @BeardofDarkness 2: Save up! So it takes a few months before you have the $ for an editor. That's ok.
Hit those writers groups again. Try out a few to see if you two are a good fit. Ask for a sample edit of a chapter or 2. Good way to see their value!

[LL Richman @lrichman]

@jeffery_haskell @BeardofDarkness Agreed.
1: we're far too close to the work to see its flaws. You need to have outside eyes on it. If you absolutely, positively cannot afford to hire an editor, connect with writers groups online and find a good, solid core of beta readers willing to give it a first pass.
