Did you ever read Dragon's Egg?
It's a speculative hard sci-fi that posits ultra-fast evolution for life on the surface crust of a neutron star!
- loosetypes 6y agoInteresting! Thanks. No I have not. Although I was previously recommended Rocheworld by a former NASA researcher, with the note that Robert L. Forward made every effort to describe a scientifically plausible double planet. Incidentally, it looks like Dragon’s Egg is his only work available on Audible. I’ll add it to my list.
- raghava 6y ago> Dragon's Egg TIL! Oh, looks like this movie "Evolution" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_(2001_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_(2001_film) ) was also on those lines then!
- rbanffy 6y agoIt's an interesting idea, but I find characters developed on the surface of a neutron star will end up being implausibly flat, lacking any depth. (badum tish)
- clarkmoody 6y agoI see what you did there... Also, the book does describe a character's apprehension at climbing to the dizzying heights of a few millimeters off the surface.
- rbanffy 6y agoSomehow I don't think they are going to invade other planets anytime soon.
