The Brandskogskeppet (“fire forest ship”) is a carving of a ship in the forest at the edge of what was once a lake – the land has been rising for centuries and it is now by a lush valley.

Jan Fridegårds minnesstuga
Jan Fridegårds (also known as Johan Fridolf Johansson) (link in swedish) was a prolateriat writer who died in the ’60s, this is a cottage and garden dedicated to his memory. It was such an odd thing that I had to stop to take a look, but couldn’t figure out what any of it was until I looked him up when I got home.
Trosa
The nearest town to Nynäs slott is Trosa, a small old town apparently rebuilt in 1719 but now the home of some of the richest people in Sweden.
Nynäs Slott
I dropped A. off at the airport and popped in to Nynäs Slott on the way home.
Nyköping harbour
We found some lunch at the harbour at Nyköping.
Revisiting Ulriksdals Slott
I took A. to Ulriksdals slott.
Tyresö
We set out to find the Tyresta but for various reasons we ended up on the wrong road and found Tyresö slott instead. In the castle is a health spa and a small cafe, literally in the kitchen of the castle. You can sit at the kitchen table watching the food being made.
Book review: Ripples in the Chronostream
[Audiobook] Ripples in the Chronostream, Ten Theoretical Pathways to Times Embrace (Perhaps) by Lucan Merrian.
This book is a whistlestop tour of some of the actual theoretical physics that opens the door to travel through time. There are ten theories described here, most of which rely on exotic matter, which we have yet to encounter in our universe.
Most of these theories ‘revolve’ around spinning things, one way or another, with various constraints and handwaving at the limits and edge conditions.
This book is talking about the kind of physics that got so pilloried in A Fools Wisdom, things which are so fantastical that they require infinity to be a practical unit of existence rather than something beyond our comprehension.
I was disappointed by the brevity of the book, ten theories in a hundred minutes doesn’t give a lot of depth on any, and the practical applicability of the theories leaves much to be desired. If you are struggling for a starting point in your time travel research, this might be a good place. Blueprints for a tardis this is not.
