We already know a helluva lot about our world - and science in general is so much more advanced now than it was just 100 years ago. This scientific site contains lectures on the stuff that we do not yet know about i.e. the mysteries of our universe which have still not yet been unlocked. Should keep the researchers busy for years to come.

Site Outage

You may have noticed that there was some downtime on this site during yesterday and today. Luckily I was up at 3am this morning working night-shift so I was able to contact the folks who host my server earlier rather than later.

Apparently there was some kind of hardware failure on the server but they weren't more specific than that.

Apologies for the interruption of service...

Included on the site are stories by over 40 different authors (including anonymous contributions).
Some say, (and I would agree) that the written word leaves a more lasting impression than films of the same story. But then again I may be the only person I know that actually read a Star Wars book!
