Happy Holidays from WTiF! In honor of the SOLSTICE this week, we present an encore of one of our most popular episodes. Enjoy!

The incredible Science Fiction author PAUL McAULEY joins us to celebrate episode 100!

With a preview of the science behind his upcoming novel, WAR OF THE MAPS, Paul asks: What The IF we could save the Earth from the inevitable death of the Sun!

It's gonna be a lotta work! First we've gotta MOVE the Earth outward when the Sun expands into a RED GIANT, then we need to HUDDLE UP close (!) when the Sun shrinks into a WHITE DWARF.

Yep, Paul treats us to some EPIC ENGINEERING and ultra vivid SOLAR SCIENCE!
