Why Most Star Trek Aliens Look Mostly Human
In Universe There are actually several reasons that the majority of the aliens found in the first few series, at least before we make it to the gamma quadrant, are somewhat humanoid in nature. This has to do with both the origin of the quadrant and the forces that have long protected it. The first reason is that the majority of the races in Trek, from Cardassians to humans, were genetically modified by the sewing of DNA onto their planets by a group of entities called the Progenetors. While little is known about them, they were advanced enough to leave behind a hidden code in the DNA of the races that they seeded that would reveal a hologram when combined. Before this point in time, there were no other humanoid races, and it is heavily implied that only this DNA is keeping the current races even slightly related. To read more about the hologram, Progenetors, and other speculation about them you can check their memory alpha articles.

The Party: Chapter 1 - Bill Brown
I’m exploring possibilities based on things I am seeing on the news and comments made by some people in the government. Yes, this is political. I offer you trigger warnings for language and sexual and racist comments. Future episodes may also contain rape, abuse, and other unpleasant things.

Arrows and Roses - Chapter 13
It had been hours since she left for home and he was still in his room pacing about, unable to sleep. It was funny, to think gods didn’t need sleep but still did it anyway, much like eating human food. It was enjoyable. There were several stories of the gods sleeping for years, so it shouldn’t be a shock that he enjoyed it as much as the next god did.

Most Compatible Zodiac Sign Pairings
While compatibility in astrology is a complex subject with various opinions from astrologers, there are some sun signs that are naturally more suited than others. To get the most accurate measure of compatibility you will need to generate the birth charts from each time of birth and compare the signs in the planets (particularly the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars and Ascendant), giving you a more complex reading.

Day 3 Morning
I kept going back and forth in my mind, should I call it it, or should I call it her? I did build her to be in a relationship with me. I suppose I will call it, her. She did not sleep through the night, she was on a low power state. Even though she booted up, there were still a lot of updates that needed to happen so that the software was safe. Parts are cheap, very true, though that does not mean I want to keep buying new parts because of a malfunction. So I would rather her spend time downloading everything she needs to run properly.

'Nero's Fiddle' Book Trailer
Chapter 39 Excerpt from Nero’s Fiddle ©2014 “Maybe another minute or two–” she stopped. She’d been aware of a noise in the woods for the last few seconds. Assuming it was nothing more than wind rustling leaves, she hadn’t been concerned about it. Until she realized there was no wind at all. She now recognized the sound for what it was: the rustling and crunching of underbrush indicating the sound of movement.

Creating a Link
As a person with no particular background in science or math I've always been interested in Quantum Mechanics. The only problem was every time I tried do research or watch a video on it, I honestly couldn't even grasp the most basic concepts. Not because it was impossibly hard, but because anyone with a degree tends to dive straight into the mathematics of how they "believe" this sub atomic realm operates. I'm no expert but I think I may be able to break the basics down in a way that doesn't require you to be a particle physicist.

Incredible History of the Solar System
The universe is a huge place and people exist in a small part of it. The area human beings, animals, and other creatures occupy is what is referred to as the Solar System. It comprises formations which we recognize as planets, satellites that orbit these planets, and an average-sized star that we identify as the Sun. The four inner planets of the solar system are known as ‘Terrestrial Planets.’ This is because their major components are metals and silicate rocks. The other four planets are identified as ‘Jovian’ planets. Also, you can refer to them as ‘gas giants.’
