Light.

I have seen the light in more ways than one.

Light has the ability to posses particle and wave characteristics at the same time.
But for many years in the past there was a division between scientists as to the true nature of light.
This lead to a theory that the Universe possesses a necessary medium called aether so light could travel through it. This has now been proved to be incorrect. In fact light is a massless photon.

My point is that without the correct understanding and information it is easy to come to the wrong conclusion.

Science fiction is fuelled by a mixture of fact and fiction.
Evolution is a gateway to unknown societies that may have existed and perished.

We are not alone.

As we become aware by increasing our capability to observe the Universe it has become from a small single Sun planetary system to an ever increasing billions of galaxies.

Discoveries about the number of planets capable of sustaining life is constantly increasing and the probability of alien life becomes more of a reality.

My story Archaeopteryx uses these facts in a blend of action and adventure.
