Curate, connect, and discover
oh yeah what I meant by this! watched Interstellar with my brothers last night. two of them are science nerds! so well one has seen it and one hadn't before
so afterward I sat at a table with the one that hadn't priorly seen it and asked scale of 1 to 10 how realistic he felt it was. he got immediately hung up on the mathematics of the time as portrayed on screen, we jabbered about that for a while
... and second brother comes in. "Okay what you NEED to know," he says, and he's apparently talked this over with the fandom several times over, and he just takes off in this conversation and here I am sitting between two brothers who are going off about the science of well everything practically
inwardly I'm kinda making this face :D because I miss these sorts of arguments (and also I get to be a part of it)
and bro
okay yeah I could go into the whole wormholes and black hole/white hole and time shift and that sort of thing, it was a good conversation, but I'll save that for another time
and there was the whole me bringing up The Martian as more realistic and then us picking it apart too (tbh it's very good tho) but again not the point of tonight's tale
the point being
loved ones are so precious
loved ones are so precious when they're engaging in the thing they love
love languages can be arguing over science technicalities in science fiction and cinema
I love these people so much and I love that I get to be theirs.
bringing back the interstellar fandom one cranky science nerd at a time
