Hello everyone! I am known throughout the net as Cowbob and have been lurking on the discord and in the forums for some time, let me weave you all the tale of how i found OA. I accidentally stumbled on OA a couple of years ago when I was originally attempting to find more material online about The Culture series, once i recognized that OA was in fact its own thing and not part of the Cultureverse I save-clicked on the main page and forgot about it for a few months after which I remembered its existence so I began reading some articles... what happened after is but a hazy memory of frenetically reading the Encyclopaedia Galactica and learning as much as I could on the lore of the setting and meditating on it.
I find this universe to be extremely fascinating for all it has proposed on the future and it's limits. From the hard science fiction rule or the social dynamics between the different entities inhabiting it to its descriptions of the societies and polities that exist inside. I hope to contribute to the universe in a meaningful way (And I sincerely hope to add a hard sci-fi article once I get a clearer grasp of physics after finishing my - undergraduate? - degree in physics.) as well as discussing with others any and all topics related to OA and perhaps outside of it.
The elements of this universe that I find most interesting are any physics related articles (Even if I can't fully grasp what they're trying to say like with the Penrose Thunderbolt article lmao), any articles regarding the history of the OA universe, any articles regarding AI and their lives or their inner workings, any information regarding provolves; aliens and the many variations of humans that exist.
I hope to see you all around!
