About

"The tree of ignorance is watered with error and brings forth the pumpkins of disaster." - Nick Harkaway __________ "The religion of one age is the literary entertainment of the next." Ralph Waldo Emerson __________ "To those who wish to impose their definition of reality abstractly, independent of emerging empirical knowledge and the changing questions that go with it, and call that either philosophy or theology, I would say this: Please go on talking to each other, and let the rest of us get on with the goal of learning more about nature." - Lawrence Krauss — Washington, DC
