Murdering Twinmakers on the Air

There have been a couple of videos doing the rounds about how matter transmitters are murder machines because of the way they kill the transmittee in the process of pretending to move them (here’s an example) and you know what? It’s true! But I’d still get in one.

I explain why in this interview with the mighty Richard Fidler as part of his Conversation series on Radio National. In it we talk about matter transmitters, the inevitable rise of our metal masters, why it sucked being a Russian space scientist trying to get photos of Venus way back when, and much, much more.

I leave with you with this image. If you’ve seen the Doctor Who episode called “Heaven Sent”, you’ll know why!
