Foundations is a collection of articles written by Greg Egan that explore the theories of twentieth-century physics that have influenced modern science fiction. Unlike historical or philosophical essays, these articles focus on providing detailed and quantitative predictions of the real physical effects resulting from each theory. The series covers topics such as special relativity, general relativity, black holes, and quantum mechanics. The articles are accessible to interested lay readers and do not require advanced mathematics knowledge. The website also includes a variety of fiction works by Greg Egan.
