Unendliche Weiten

» Story of Your Life, by Ted Chiang

If you’re interested in language, don’t mind some physics, would like to explore the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis in a deeply human context, and enjoy having your mind blown every now and then, you want to read this story.

About

A science fiction scrapbook. May contain: science, fiction, unlikely physics, feminist griping and a worrying amount of Star Trek trivia.

My main Tumblr is here; it's a bit less nerdy, but not by much.

The Name

The German equivalent of Star Trek's "Space: the final frontier..." intro starts with "Der Weltraum: unendliche Weiten..." – infinite vastness – and contains a number of pointless and partly inaccurate details that are not in the original. It also goes on for twice as long. Germans, eh?
