Weir invents a fictional organism but subjects it to the rigid laws of thermodynamics. Astrophage stores energy by converting mass directly into light, utilizing a perfect matter-antimatter conversion. This allows Weir to use Astrophage as the propellant for the spaceship, solving the real-world engineering hurdle of interstellar travel without violating the laws of physics. Relativistic Space Travel

, the sole survivor of a mission to save Earth from "Astrophage," an alien microbe draining the Sun's energy. From this meeting emerges Rocky, an alien engineer

The ship experiences time dilation as it travels near the speed of light, meaning decades pass on Earth while only a few years pass for Grace.
