Why not. Why? Doesn't really matter:

Here's a bit of a status report. There's no need for you to care about any of this. This is just here for the heck of it.

Current Projects:
Book 1: Prehistory of the Ay's Arrival. Partially complete. About 3/4 done. Lots of additional middle scenes to write. Basically, we meet an alien race. We help each other out and build on technology bases. Everything gets trashed by the bad guys the A's were running away from.

These have been in college and highschool physics experiments for ages. But now we should also start learning about Twisting of light. About a decade ago, it was discovered that passing light through a diffraction gratting could impart an angular momentum factor on the light wave, creating a helix of twisted light. This can be demonstrated in a classroom level. Go o

I'm now keeping track. THis is 1.
