    2026/03/09
    Author Peter Dingus, PhD, joins broadcaster Chris Dabbs to discuss his science fiction novella The End of the World and the deeper ideas behind his work.

    Before becoming a novelist, Peter Dingus worked in physics and engineering with organisations including École Polytechnique in Paris, CERN in Geneva and Lockheed. That scientific background shapes the way he approaches storytelling — blending real science, deep time and philosophical questions about humanity’s future.

    • The ideas behind The End of the World
    • How physics influences science fiction writing
    • Why civilisation itself may be humanity’s greatest challenge
    • The relationship between science and imagination
    • What science fiction can teach us about our future
