Learn about the science of the Expanse from an astrophysicist and a science communicator. From the opening scene, we know The Expanse is going to be a different type of sci-fi show. It takes physics (specifically gravity and acceleration) seriously. Say goodbye to inertial dampeners and artificial gravity and hello to spin gravity and high-G maneuvers, because we’re exploring the expanse of space, and it’s terrifying. The physics of the Expanse is more accurate than any Sci Fi show we've seen yet, which is why we love the Expanse so much.
