You've encountered technobabble when Doc Brown is shouting about flux capacitors in Back To The Future, or when Isaac Asimov writes about positronic brains. Astrophysicist Katie Mack and NASA JPL technologist Manan Arya discuss how science fact relates to science fiction.

"우리가 가장 어울리는 하늘을 향해 밤을 뛸 때, 폭풍은 항상 삼키는 가치가 있기 때문에 낙심하지 말아주세요. 번개를 불 같은 연료로 사용하는 것을 배우십시오.

"나는 혼란과 시련과 투쟁, 실망과 어둠, 피로와 배수의 족쇄에서 스스로를 끌어 올린 혼란과 투쟁을 보았던 사람들을 간절히 원합니다.

"매우 민감한 존재는 더 고통을 겪습니다. 그러나 그들은 또한 더 열심히 사랑하고, 더 넓어지며, 더 깊은 지평과 행복을 경험합니다. 당신이 예민 할 때,이 사납게 아름다운 세상에서 당신은 모든 말에서 살아 있습니다. 감도는 당신의 힘입니다.

변형 그 자체는 기쁨이 아닙니다. 기쁨은 임계점을 지나서 도착한 자유에 있습니다. 그것은 돌진한다. 비처럼 내놨다. -

I like music and designing things.
