Before these discoveries, it was believed that atomic elements were unique. Gold, silver, iron and dozens of other elements are now attributed to a unique number of protons in an atomic nucleus. After its simplification, this newfound understanding of the atom led to significant advancements in new materials, electronics and eventually nuclear energy. By the late 1900s and early 2000s, a new problem...

Sean Harrison's life-long ambition is to travel in time. Upon reaching his fifties, the powerful CEO of Tace Technologies realizes that his time is short and that a scientific breakthrough leading to time travel capabilities may not happen in his lifetime. Along with his beloved wife Stacey, he embarks on a cryogenic journey to the future in the hopes that by freezing himself into hibernation, that it will be possible to skip through time until a point in the future where the true technology exists to travel in time: forwards and backwards.   The Harrisons soon run into many issues with ...

The universe is simply energy. Everything around us, including matter, is energy. A deep look into the mysteries of the subatomic world – the particles that make up the atom – provides answers to basic questions about how the universe works. To solve the future of mankind’s energy needs we need to understand the basic building blocks of the universe, including the atom and its parts. By exploring the subatomic world we’ll find more answers to our questions about time, forces like gravity and the matter that surrounds us. More importantly, we’ll find new ways to tap into the energy...
