Chapter 21

Thank you for exploring science with us

You've reached the end

We hope this journey through the science of Project Hail Mary has been as fascinating for you as it was for us to create it. From gravity and pendulums to Majorana neutrinos, through time dilation and spectroscopy, every concept in Andy Weir's book has roots in real science.

If anything you've read here has helped you better understand the universe around us, then this project has fulfilled its mission.

If you haven't read the book yet...

Everything on this site makes much more sense when you read the full story. The way Andy Weir weaves real science with adventure is unique. If you haven't read it yet, or if you want to gift it to someone curious, we wholeheartedly recommend it.
