R. F. Errant Blog
errantrf.wordpress.com
Hi. I’m R. F. Errant, a science fiction, and fantasy writer, who thinks his daydreams are worth reading.
For those that know me, I can talk endlessly about the subjects I love, especially science, technology, and martial arts. They often are so impressed with my knowledge they, say “R. F., you should write all this down. Maybe in a blog. In fact, you should go do it right now.†At which point they all then walk away from me.
So I’ve taken their advice, and I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing what I have to say. If not, leave a comment, and I’ll get better. Just don’t walk away.

After a bit of an interlude, let’s get back to where I left off from Space and Time Travel Post 5. What is unique about time travel is that un… Read More

The Observation Loophole
As I’ve written about space and time, I’ve noticed that I’ve been writing often about science in general. I’m doing so because, when I descri… Read More

I bet when you read the description of this series, you expected me to go into logical fallacies. If you look closely, I have. That a simpler answer is truer than a complex answer creates an… Read More

Teleportation. A Matter of Conservation…
So far, in talking about traveling through space and time, we’ve assumed that we traveled all the space and time in between. However, am… Read More

If I were to say what is it the most common mistake smart people make, it would be the inability to tell good data from bad. In other words, how to filter out the b.s. One of the many discov… Read More

Time Travel If You Must
In my last post, I demonstrated why faster-than-light travel means having to deal with time travel. You now see why this series is called “… Space and Ti… Read More

Granted a good idea should be proven, but who does the proving? In other words, who has the burden of proof. Putting the burden on the wrong person is a guaranteed way to skew results to a d… Read More

Time Travel Whether We Like It or Not
From the start, I said that one of the four reason scientists say faster-than-light is impossible is that it introduces time travel. Now I’ll expl… Read More

In the previous two post about simple and complex answers, I warned how these could lead you astray by psychological means, By what we wish was true, not what was true. Now, I’d liked… Read More

You Can Warp or Jump
Previously, I explained four reasons science is so against faster-than-light (FTL). First, it breaks the math. Second, normal methods of travel would take an infinite am… Read More

Previously, I talked about what was wrong with simple answers, and it is only fair that I now discuss what is wrong with complex answers or solutions. I don’t have to work very hard to… Read More

Faster-Than-Light Is All About Communication

Simple answers are always best. That’s common wisdom, right?
It’s not that complex answers are so great. There are lots of problems with those too, which I will go over in other… Read More

Is Faster-Than-Light Travel Really Impossible
Having read a book or two about the Theory of Relativity, I’ll get a statement from the author that FTL (faster-than-light travel) is impo… Read More
