Chris | 6 comments It is hard to understand Hard Sci novels like Death's End; the finale of the Three Body Problem Trilogy by Cixin Liu

My favourite resource for upskilling in astrophysics is Matt O'Dowd who does PBS Spacetime

Such pearls of Sci-Fi wisdom from @matt_of_earth as:

"You know how the 2-D residents of flatland couldn't see into the 3rd dimension? That's because the didn't build gravitational wave detectors. Great description in Death's End of the 3D universe being turned into Flatland. "

Necot | 2 comments PBS Spacetime makes a very good content.

Another great channel discussing many themes and concepts of SF and futurism is the one of Isaac Arthur:

I think both channels are very good in explaining the physics/chemistry in an intuitive way and in going into the details without being over technical.
