In this paper, I’ll show you how to survive an interstellar voyage when a meteor flies toward you at close to the speed of light. Because of relativistic time dilation, an interstellar spacecraft could theoretically travel about 12 light-years in just over five years of ship time. To get there, we’d need to accelerate at 1 g for half the voyage, until we reach 99 percent of light speed. Then we’d decelerate at 1 g for the remainder. We’d have the equivalent of Earth’s gravity

I tried to include roughly one new technology in every scene of The Spark Anomaly and its planned sequels. When I started, I thought I would
