In the early days of interstellar colonization, they largely expected you to
start from scratch, though the definition of this term is a little loose. I
mean, they had domes too, because almost none of them had an atmosphere that
was breathable by organic Earthans. So there was some technology right
from the start, and they were making scientific advances on their own, but
Earth remained front and center in the industry. You just can’t beat that kind
of established infrastructure and strong, lasting institutions. I’m not sure
that’s true anymore. While Teagarden took over the majority of the military
needs of the Core Worlds, that was mostly for political reasons. They wanted
to erase any sense that it favored the nations of Old Earth. Physics research
didn’t have to switch homes, but it has. These new reframe engines people are
using to travel at faster-than-light speeds? Those were apparently invented
here. Developments in anti-gravity; induced stasis; transhumanistic
enhancement, including bioforming; terraforming; power generation and
distribution...it’s all here. Dare I say, we’re now more advanced than Earth
is, even with all of its advantages? I’m sorry to tell you that that is my
conclusion. If you’re interested in furthering our understanding of physics,
biology, chemistry, or any other scientific field, your best bet is to come
here. Earth’s programs are nothing to scoff at, and I don’t think they’re
doing anything wrong, but at some point, the brightest minds in the galaxy
evidently decided to move, and before anyone realized what was happening, the
power shifted here. Good or bad, that’s what happened. This power may shift
once more, back to Earth, or perhaps some third star system, but for now, this
is the nexus of scientific exploration. The silver lining is that they’re not
hoarding it any more than Earth did. They’re sharing what they’ve learned with
others, so we’re at least safe from the privatization threats that we’ve faced
in days past. Word of warning: this dome is not for visitors, really. You can
come, and they’ll let you walk around, but we’re dealing with a lot of
dangerous things here, so the majority of the sectors are off-limits without
proper authorization. People keep randomly showing up, believing that we have
something to show off, but that’s not what we’re doing here. This is
just for us. If you want to join, fill out the right application. If you don’t
yet qualify, find a learning platform, and catch up. There are no limits to
who can help humanity and its offshoots achieve everything we ever dreamed of.
