Author of Curved Horizons — literary sci-fi about a family, a black hole, and the physics between them. Stanford graduate. Executive in real estate, hospitality & tech. First novel. Submission pending.https://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.orghttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3muqtgzfths2aEveryone aboard Odyssey left something they couldn’t bring. Not cargo—people, weather, the ordinary sky. What they carry instead is the memory of a horizon that stayed put. Curved Horizons is about what you hold onto when even the sky stops behaving. 🛰️05 Sep 2026 06:18 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3muqtgzfths2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mtbtvhtm3c2jAmazing pics.

CURVED HORIZONS, the hard-SF novel I've just finished, drops a family into a triad like this — and out again through the physics. Reality just rhymed with the fiction.

The crew follows a line they can’t see, trusting the drones ahead are still, somehow, ahead. 🛰️16 Aug 2026 07:27 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt6nxmikuc2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mslxlcpsyc2qA spinning black hole doesn’t just curve space—it drags it, winding spacetime around itself like water circling a drain. Near it, Odyssey can’t hold still even in principle. To stay in one place, you’d have to move. The crew learns that standing still is a thing you can lose. 🛰️08 Aug 2026 20:58 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mslxlcpsyc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mrlgnrlpgc2qNear the black hole, the crew of Odyssey start seeing stars that should be hidden behind it. The mass bends the light around itself, so the sky folds—things behind the dark become visible in front of it. What’s lost and what’s in view stop being the same question. 🛰️26 Jul 2026 22:30 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrlgnrlpgc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mrd737332k2jGravity isn’t a force pulling Odyssey down. There’s nothing to pull. Space itself is curved, and the ship is simply following the straightest line available to it. Falling and flying straight turn out to be the same motion. Curved Horizons is a book about living with that fact. 🛰️23 Jul 2026 15:53 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrd737332k2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mqtxl2t2pk2t17 Jul 2026 14:29 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqtxl2t2pk2thttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mqttqltyds2kHere’s a question Curved Horizons left me sitting with: if you could take a journey that showed you something no human has ever seen—but you’d return to find the world had moved on decades without you—would you go? Be honest. 🛰️17 Jul 2026 13:20 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqttqltyds2khttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mqe34smxnc2mA black hole’s edge is called the event horizon: the last place light can still turn back. Cross it and every path bends inward. Curved Horizons takes its name from that line—the point where going forward and never returning become the same direction. 🛰️11 Jul 2026 06:50 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqe34smxnc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mpoa2dgxq22dWe talk about space colonization like it’s an arrival. But the hard truth Curved Horizons keeps circling is that it’s mostly a leaving. Every world we reach for is a world we can’t come back from unchanged. The question isn’t whether we can go—it’s what we’re willing to lose. 🛰️02 Jul 2026 14:19 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpoa2dgxq22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3moynn5onhk2h@dofresh.bsky.social I would’ve be interested in seeing what you do.

The crew ages hours while years pass on Earth. By the time they pull away, some of those who waved them off are gone.

We kept asking whether it had earned our trust—then realized that’s the wrong question. We trust it because we have no choice. That’s not the same thing, and Curved Horizons knows it. 🛰️07 Jun 2026 06:14 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnojbhk7zs2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mndzryuo6c2yBefore we go further into Curved Horizons, let’s talk about who’s aboard. A pilot who trusts the ship more than the people in it. An intelligence that’s only ten years old. And the children no one planned to bring. Who are you most afraid for? 🛰️03 Jun 2026 02:10 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mndzryuo6c2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mndz37tjx22y#physics03 Jun 2026 01:58 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mndz37tjx22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mndyzbsmek2y#SciFi03 Jun 2026 01:57 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mndyzbsmek2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mnbrdxe6rs2xGR gets treated as off-limits until college. I don't think it has to be. I wrote a hard-SF novel where a family survives a mission near three black holes — then built a physics curriculum around it, where the story makes the equations feel necessary instead of imposed.02 Jun 2026 04:34 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnbrdxe6rs2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mn7gdp2dqs2bTotal darkness as they crossed the threshold—light itself bending away, refusing to follow them in.

He has just learned that time moves differently depending on how fast you travel and how deep you sit in a gravity well.

But spacetime has already tilted. Frame-dragging pulls the ship deeper. One hour aboard. Four years on Earth. This is not science fiction. This is General Relativity. #CurvedHorizons #MarenVoss #BookClub26 May 2026 15:17 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmrbyv6dgk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mmrbqkrhjs2z26 May 2026 15:12 +0000at://did:plc:mpchgfzql5nccdvycaxsmsj4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmrbqkrhjs2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/curvedhorizons.org/post/3mmrbau6rzk2zWhat if your ship held its course perfectly — but the curvature of gravity had already bent time around you? Not a malfunction. Not a mistake. Geometry, doing exactly what Einstein predicted.

When that dream becomes real, who gets to decide who goes — and who is too young to choose? The Carters brought their children to a black hole 1,560 light-years away.
