- For the past thirty-five years, the Legend has grown. Spoken of only in
- hushed tones. Whispers echoing within the dark Halls of Science. Far
- from the test-tubes, the petri-dishes and the Bunson burners. Men in
- White lab-coats, gathering in the cafeteria, late at night, swilling down
- their hourly caffeine ration.....Speak of an after-life.

- They speak not of Heaven and Hell as we were taught in grade school.
- No Angels with wings, nor Devils with horns. They speak of the Limbo
- Lab where only the best and the brightest scientists go when they die.
- Within this Limbo Lab, they are tested and those that pass, pass on to
- a true scientists Heaven. Those that fail, (and there are many) pass on
- to a true Hell -- non-existence. Those that reach Heaven, may change
- the laws of physics that apply to our reality, as long as the laws stay
- consistent with all the current scientific knowledge. It is rumored that
- Euclid once created the concept of Relativity that Einstein so elegantly
- worked out. It is also rumored that Sir Isaac Newton created most of
- the Quantum theory that still hasn't been fully understood. But Heaven
- is not our concern. Today we learn of the Limbo Lab Testing Center.

- Somewhere between Chaos and Order; between all that is Shadow and
- the reality of Substance; where great ideas will often be lost between
- a quark and a hard place; Where the Twin Deadly Poisons Sodium and
- Chloride collide over your left shoulder for good luck; somewhere
- between symmetry and virtue, woven between the threads of space and
- time - there exists the Limbo Lab Testing Center. Within the Limbo
- Lab Testing Center is an arena. An area with a shape that is exactly
- half-way between a square and a circle, created with just a compass
- and an infinite straight-edge. In this arena, Electrons spar with
- Protons, while Neutrons Referee (of course, it could be no-other way).
- Upon the wall, within mirrored frames, swirling asymmetric patterns
- dance within their own infinite void. It is this arena, that occupies the
- minds of the scientist in their off hours. As the legends grew, so did
- the doubts. How well could I do in the arena? Could I pass the test.

- Could I survive --

- Albert Einstein's Big-Time Science Boxing.
