Fringe has always been more than the sum of its parts? but its parts, too, are worth a closer look.

MIT physics professor Max Tegmark illuminates the real-life possibilities of parallel universesStephen Cass, founding editor of Discover's Science Not Fiction blog and a Senior Editor with Technology Review, unravels Fringe's use of time travelAward-winning science fiction historian Amy H. Sturgis walks us through the show's literary and television ancestors, from the 1800s onTelevision Without Pity staff writer Jacob Clifton looks at the role of the scientist, and scientific redemption, through the ever-shifting role of Massive DynamicGarth Sundem, bestselling author of Brain Candy, explores the mysterious way that memory works, from why Walter forgets to how Olivia remembers And more, from lab cow Gene's scientific resume to why the Observers should be wearing white lab coats |
