Greetings shrewd readers. We’ve been discussing Marcus Johnson’s Librarians. They were vilified when the Founders deceits were discovered but their redemption came when they opened their library to the public. Much of the Founder’s library was returned to Earth when people started moving off Harappa.
The Library wasn’t all the LIbrarians did during their two hundred years on Harappa. They maintained an orbital space station where they kept tabs on climate issues and continued Johnson's habit of observing the stars. They did record a short burst of non random signals from Kusha but their astronomers found nothing beyond that.
As far as other scientific advances from them there is not a lot of evidence. They were a secretive order while on Harappa but they did include their files when humans were required to load their files onto the EG.
When their files were opened there were not a lot of new discoveries found. They had done a lot of work with the human brain and how it works. They did come to some understandings about how the two hemispheres work together. There were some studies on materials and a few useful alloys were found.
Obviously most of their scientific studies centered around illumaphane the strange mineral that made FTL possible, The Harappan scientists did not discover the properties that allowed faster than light travel but they did come to some understandings about how illumaphane affects gravity. They put a lot of energy into studying the Harappan Curse and came to agree that the disease was related to illumaphane.
Their scientific mission is seen as mostly a failure and their contributions to knowledge were scant.
Tomorrows post will discuss how the Gavaskar Field relates to gravity.
When Philip the Bard returns he will discuss the Librarian’s third mission; steering Harappan society.
Never mix red wine with Oodo.
