    Synopsis
    The official guide to the science behind the Battlestar Galactica universe Battlestar Galactica ( BSG ) has been called the best show on television, and as real as science fiction gets. It has dealt with issues of religious freedom, patriotism, terrorism, genetic engineering, and the ultimate science fiction question: what does it mean to be human? While the re-imagined BSG may not be packed with cool techie tools (the bad guys don't even have laser guns for frak's sake!), this book shows that the science in the series has a lot to say about the use of science and technology in our lives today. What are the principles behind artificial gravity and sublight propulsion? Are Cylons men or machines? How are humanoid Cylons able to interface with computers? By tackling these and other intriguing questions, The Science of Battlestar Galactica takes us billions of miles away from Earth so that we can turn around and see ourselves from a different perspective. Tackles fans' most pressing BSG questions, from how an FTL drive might work to how the 12 colonies of Kobol could co-exist to the principles behind Gaius Baltar's Cylon-detector Features behind-the-scenes anecdotes, quotes from the BSG Series Bible, and over 60 photos Includes a foreword by BSG co-executive producer, Jane Espenson, and an afterword by actor, Richard Hatch, who played Tom Zarek in the reimagined series and Captain Apollo in the classic series Co-written by BSG 's scientific advisor and a Wired contributing editor Packed with must-know details and scientific background, this thought-provoking book will help you see Battlestar Galactica as never before., The official guide to the science behind the Battlestar Galactica universe Battlestar Galactica ( BSG ) has been called the best show on television, and as real as science fiction gets.

It may not be packed with cool techie gadgets (the bad guys don't even have laser guns!), but it has a lot to say about the use of science and technology in our lives today., The official guide to the science behind the Battlestar Galactica universe "If you've ever wondered what the frak happened to the science in science fiction, then this book is for you. Clear, funny, and told from an insider's perspective, it'll make any Battlestar fan's spine glow red with joy. So say we all!" Phil Plait, creator of Bad Astronomy and host of Bad Universe "Finally, a guide to the science fiction and, even more importantly, the science facts surrounding the Battlestar Galactica saga. If you're wondering what the BSG buzz is all about, or if you're wondering about the real research into genetics, robotics, and fasterthanlight travel, this is the book for you." Alan Boyle, author of MSNBC.com's Cosmic Log and The Case for Pluto Noteworthy for its grittiness and steadfast avoidance of flashy futuristic toys (they use wired phones, for frak's sake!), Battlestar Galactica (BSG) has been called the best show on television and as real as science fiction gets. It has dealt with issues of religious freedom, patriotism, terrorism, genetic engineering, and the ultimate science fiction question: What does it mean to be human? But the reimagined Battlestar Galactica also has a lot to say about the use of science and technology today and in the notsodistant future. In The Science of Battlestar Galactica, Wired magazine contributing editor Patrick Di Justo and BSG's scientific advisor Kevin Grazier answer all the questions that have puzzled you ever since Admiral Adama issued his first command. They delve into questions about the nature of life both fleshandblood and siliconbased; the effects of radiation or how the Cylons could reoccupy Caprica after a few days, but not Earth after two thousand years; black holes, planets, and colonization; the principles behind the weapons and propulsion systems of Galactica; and much more. Best of all, the book features insights from some of the people closest to the production, including a foreword by BSG coexecutive producer Jane Espenson and an afterword by actor Richard Hatch. Filled with surprising details and background including neverbeforepublished information from show creator Ron Moore's legendary BSG Series Bible this fascinating book sheds new light on the universe of one of the most original and provocative science fiction series ever created.
