Andy Fletcher has been giving cruise ship lectures since 2014, and has been a public speaker since 1989, with thousands of lectures in 45 countries. His topics, unique among cruise ship speakers, are things like Big Bang, Black Holes, Schroedinger's Cat, the Butterfly Effect, Fractals, Aliens, and much more, all encompassed in relativity, quantum mechanics, Chaos and Complexity Theories, at least 12 talks in all. The talks are funny, informative, challenging, entertaining, engrossing, captivating, and suitable for all ages and genders. The universe is nothing like what we think it is, but very few of us are ever exposed to the way it really is.

He is the founder and president of Life, the Universe and Everything, a non-profit educational organization based in Colorado.
