Irresistible Fiction Chapter One: The Subatomic Chronicles Irresistible Fiction: Episodes 1 - 5 Veering drastically from the political programming of Occupy Radio, and Chaos Theory Radio, Getch, or David Geitgey Sierralupe, declares himself fictional.

Illusions, and maybe bad business decisions. While Getch talks quantum mechanics with Inga the bartender, the Incredible Quarks are on stage making...

Irresistible Fiction 3: Subatomic Jet Pack In which Getch’s dimension-hopping doppelganger visits an intergalactic quidditch match in order to point out that it just doesn’t matter. Orkin, Raptor, and Racket imposes its will. Plus, vague rumblings about Einstein letting us all down. All of that, in just eleven minutes, and ten seconds.

Irresistible Fiction 2: Utter Bullshit Almost a century ago, scientists searched to find the smallest particle of matter in the microverse. Instead, they found puzzles and funhouse reflections. Deep down inside the atom, things got strange, and even Albert Einstein tried to sweep it all under the rug. But that strangeness at the core of the atom sat under that metaphorical rug, and waited. Every once and awhile, we lifted the corner of the rug and picked out little bits of quantum...
