The Science of Mass Effect - Dark Energy and Worm Holes - Extra Credits

Wanna learn more about 80's sci-fi? Please go support the "In Search of Tomorrow" documentary over at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/creatorvc/in-search-of-tomorrow-80s-sci-fi-documentary?ref=dbd89l

Thanks to the help of guest writer and astrophysicist Erin Macdonald, writer of the Science of Sci Fi (https://adbl.co/2yRxVWK), this Extra Credits is going to be a little unusual. Have you ever wondered how rooted the science in scifi really is? Well in Mass Effect's case, there's actually some very solid ground. We'll be talking about how the Mass Effect relays work and what the theoretical working behind element zero is, and how, if we could replicate those effects using real elements like dark energy, we might also be able to date some aliens. ... What do you mean that wasn't the point of Mass Effect?
