Jump To The Crab Nebula & The Whirlpool Galaxy



   You are now in Jack's world which is filled with equations, experiments, and other crazy things. Hang on and enjoy the ride!
science fiction wormhole
 

 

   As we delve further and further into the reality of matter and energy, we find that more is possible than we would expect. Perhaps the world we know is only solid and tangible because our perception of it is limited. As we find more precise means via technology to analyze the microscopic world, we find more and more paradoxes and unexpected properties of matter. Physics rocks!

   Ours is probably the most exciting scientific era of all time. Technology and computing power increase exponentially every year. Some of the greatest discoveries and inventions ever will be born in our lifetimes and those science fiction stories we read as children may come to life for us soon.
