All I know is that there's no such thing as human beings even existing in the
universe where this very journey is taking place. \o/ :D

Humans can exist in that universe, it's just that we are over 1000 light 
years away, maybe even more than 10 000 000 000 000 light years away. 
The Universe is HUGE after all...

There are no humans in this story of mine. At all. I like to play with the good
ol' wild thought about multiple universes, and this story happens in a one
without us. ;)

To add a bit just in case. This is, afterall, science fiction. Just a humble
little game project of mine. My creation, thus my decisions. ;)

I'm a man of science, and I'm also a big fan of sci-fi. Especially Star Trek
(TOS & TNG), Babylon 5, Farscape and Battlestar Galactica (orig. & remake). For
readings I've always liked a bit different stuff though, mainly H.P. Lovecraft
and Terry Pratchett.

Oh, and I like Monty Python too!

I'm also a rock musician, and in lyrics I'm drawn to very down-to-earth themes
of human life. But in literature, television and games, I've always been
fascinated by all kinds of wild visions, weird tales and dimensions of the
unknown.

This is where artistic freedom comes to play: to expand from what we thought to
be possible, to reach something distant and obscure, yet something that touches
us inside, tickles our imagination and grasps our feelings by the "mivonks". :D

You are very successful in this my friend! Your parallel universe is 
disturbingly alien indeed.

What about Robert L. Forward? Hard sci-fi at its best... Dragon's Egg is 
among the best I've ever read - and IMHO a number one candidate for 
adapting it as a POV-Ray/Blender animation movie! Or at least for some 
still scenes, for example the first sighting of "Bright" (our sun) by 
the Cheela...

See you in Khyberspace!
