Name: The Fifth Science
Rating: 5 (2 reviews)
Author: Exurb1a

The Galactic Human Empire, founded on logic, physics, psychology and sociology, expanded for 100,000 years across the stars. A new, fifth science emerges that brings catastrophe and collapses the empire. Twelve linked tales begin at the empire’s founding and culminate in its final days, featuring unusual figures—galactic lighthouses, ancient alien tombs, murderers, emperors, archaeologists, drunks, and mad mathematicians who attempt to awaken the universe itself. As humans regress into savagery and the secrets of space folding and perfect wisdom fade, the stories follow the empire to its deathbed—an event that may herald further upheavals.
