Although it is impossible to imagine the concept, science has a hand in everything ever created. It is because it is impossible for humans to even think outside the terms of the laws the universe has put upon us and even when we think we do, we are still contained by the laws of science. We are just putting some of our own concepts that change the outline of natural occurences.

          What I mean by this is that while we might think we are making things up, they are based on things that in the back of our minds we could have imaged because they somehow seem possible to us. A beautiful example of the opposite of this concept is four dimensional space. Humans, living in a three dimensional object space world have no trouble imagining and seeing anything in one dimension (a line), two dimensions (cartoons, 2D Sonic games, etc) and three dimensionals (real life, whether to you that is the physical universe or the picture your PlayStation 2 puts on your TV Screen). However, try to imagine a four dimensional object giving the basis.

          Why do I bring this up? Sonic the Hedgehog is a concept that, just like everything else, is viewed through the prism of science, and what I aim to do is to break down the techniques, the physical beings and some of the anomalies of the robotics and boards and attempt to explain them scientifically. I will use equations and concepts, and try my best to keep the science as real as possible before adding one or two assumed "facts" that seem to be basely necessary. But these facts are still according to science, they are just things that we have not observed, though it would be entirely possible that they exist.
