EXXXOTICA's Free Speech Battle in the Adult Industry
Bob Guccione, Larry Flynt, and Al Goldstein fought for freedom of speech throughout the latter part of the 20th century. While not in vain, their efforts were merely the starting point for a never-ending battle involving censorship, First Amendment rights, the definition of erotic art, and sexual expression. The adult industry continues to fight for these virtues in direct opposition to established conservative institutions. The combat often gets heated, and the casualties are real people with families, employees, and dependents often suffering the greatest tolls. The 21st century has produced a number of crusaders to carry the torch that men like Bob Guccione carried nearly a half century ago. One such crusader is J. Handy, the owner and producer of EXXXOTICA Expo, a revolutionary sexually charged event. EXXXOTICA celebrates sex in an informative, educational, and fun way, as it was created for adults who are looking to start their own sexual revolution. What began as a fun idea for a trade show quickly developed into a platform of free speech for sexual education and adult content.

Looking Up the Skirt Club
I watched three girls make out at an all-exclusive sexually charged event. And yes, I would watch it again. Skirt Club is the one night of the month where women can embrace their primal instincts with other women. It’s not about sex or how far you can go; but female empowerment. Genevieve LeJeune, Skirt Club founder, has seemingly performed the impossible by removing men from the female dating equation.

Sci-Fi Artist Vincent Di Fate
A painter of fantastic futures and one of the world's leading visionaries of speculative fiction is sci-fi artist Vincent Di Fate. His work embodies an unrivaled vintage appeal that recalls when drive-in movie theaters scared milkshake-drinking teenagers across the United States. The New York-born artist invented worlds where finned-starships en route to the Messina Dust Cloud sit idly as desperate astronauts shiver awaiting their rescue. Cybernetic humans mutilate their own bodies to integrate with the overwhelming electronic world. Saturn's majestic rings capture irises in their gravity as onlookers gaze from the moon Iapetus. Di Fate has an enormous portfolio stretching across the world of speculative fiction, with more than 3,000 published works of science fiction, astronomical, and aerospace subjects. Considered by many to be one of the coolest sci-fi illustrators, the honors B-movies from the 1950's while envisioning a future life in the cosmos.

Quantum Physics Books for Beginners
Quantum physics is like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn’t there. This, of course, refers to Erwin Schrodinger’s experiment which revealed that putting a cat in a box with acid will not prove detrimental until the box is opened. Therefore, the cat can either be dead or alive.

Best Genetic Modification Movies
Genetic modification is the foundation of evolution. All species change and are altered because the planet is exposed to radiation. Radiation causes DNA to break down; the damage is repaired and is often followed by mutation. This mutation is what creates variety in individual species and the world as a whole. Genetic modification movies have reached across all sub-genres including comedy, horror, thriller, and mystery; but they will always belong under the heading of science fiction. Science is not at the same level that is portrayed in these films, giving them a somewhat magical element that viewers are more than ready to embrace. From Sharktopus to X-Men, here are our top genetic modification movies.

Best Time Travel Books
Time: the final frontier. These are the voyages of storytellers throughout the mysteries of time, exploring how to break through its apparently-rigid barriers and break its (apparently equally rigid) rules. But when you think about it, we're all traveling through time together—in what we can perceive as forward. Not all of us pass through at the same subjective rate, of course, because there are teeny-tiny relativistic effects at work, which have to do with our relative motions.
