Creating worlds, exploring the infinite beyond our knowledge and imagination.
I feel like a ship at low tide. Marooned. The wind my blow but it cannot take me. So like thr ship I wait. Wait for the water to carry me so the wind can push me. When this happens my only limits will be where the wind can take me and the water will... Continue Reading →

My mind is getting a bit fried right now. Maybe it's to do with this time of year, but I've been thinking about time dilation, black holes and that kind of thing. This has all come about from the film Interstellar where a group of astronauts try to find a new home for the human... Continue Reading →

These kinds of things have been my friend for many years. For longer than I can remember I've been taking things apart. I've not necessarily fixed them, but it's certainly given me clues to how things go together and work. So when some of the keys on the phone don't work, I have two choices:... Continue Reading →

Whatever happens today or any other day – remember that whatever we do here the Earth keeps spinning. Round the sun, spinning on it’s axis, days come and go years pass and the Earth keeps spinning.
Life is so short – the Earth in comparison is eternal it was here when we were born and it’s more than likely going to still be here when we die. This cradle of life will keep going eons after we pass – whatever we do.

The seconds passes and on the Tycho not a word was said, everyone held their breath. Then in a dizzying flash the core detonated. The screen went blank for a moment as all the visual sensors were over loaded. McKinley turned to Neila. "Now would be a good time!" Neila was already on it, the... Continue Reading →
I've always love airplanes, as a child my father was showing me what the different WWII aircraft were and the story or history behind the designs. My favourite was of course the beautiful Spitfire. While most aircraft have a military purpose, I've always loved the engineering and the wonder that went into. The Spitfire wasn't... Continue Reading →
