The desk at which you’re sitting exists in four-dimensions. The first three ‘spatial’ dimensions are obvious. Ironically, so is the fourth, but can you prove it? Can you, without going into heavy, esoteric physics, prove time movement in any direction - or that it exists at all?
That’s a hard one. Especially if your audience is young or only casual science participants.
This is an opportunity for Storytelling in Science. Where, in my five-day remote or on-site workshops we’ll venture from science into science-fiction and even into fantasy writing if need be.
You’ll become a philosopher and a poet. You’ll venture away from the rigidity of pure science writing and allow yourself to imagine and create and communicate on a different level.
You’ll describe that desk as atoms that through some futuristic technology can be tagged and traced back in time to the very beginning of our universe.
Or you’ll reverse its entropy through some alien process and watch it move backwards to a more ordered state. Or you’ll describe it as a mathematical construct created by AI beings that can manipulate matter-information according to the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis.
However you package it, whatever theory you’re presenting, you’ll be delivering more than information and more than a creative fable; you’ll be connecting with your audience.
And from this; your readers or students will gain. They’ll think. They’ll reorganise it in their own minds – and you’ll have done more than teach a theory. You’ll have taught them how to think about that theory.
Storytelling has an important role in science communication. And I can teach you how use it in your writing or in a classroom.
