		Encyclopedia Galactica: Get ready for a new way of looking at the cosmos through the Web: In cooperation with Cosmos Studios, Internet entrepreneur and space buff Joe Firmage is getting ready to unveil a project called Encyclopedia Galactica.
		The effort was inspired by the penultimate episode of Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos” TV series, in which the late astronomer imagined Earth’s place in the full compendium of interstellar knowledge — an Encyclopedia Galactica.
		By the way, the idea of an Encyclopedia Galactica has a storied heritage: Not only did it figure in “Cosmos,” but it was also a key theme in Isaac Asimov’s writings — and the inspiration for many a fan site.

		Repeatedly throughout The Foundation Series, short excerpts are given from the Encyclopedia Galactica, which is an encyclopedia that contains all (or most) human knowledge.
		The date given for the edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica that these excerpts come from is 1,020 years after the Foundation is founded; during the Second Galactic Empire.
		From Foundation's Edge it can be surmised that Galaxia culminates in about FE 4000, allowing for further Foundation stories to be interesting until that date, if the Estate of Isaac Asimov were to authorize further stories (Vis-a-vis Donald Kingsbury's novel, Psychohistorical Crisis).

	Lab Notes
		By the Middle Ages, a decent encyclopedia filled 80 separate volumes, and by the year 1800 people knew so much that it was basically impossible to summarize all of it in one work, or indeed in one lifetime.
		In exactly the same way, the encyclopedia is not allowed to copy from you, or from anyone else, without first removing the original language, then reformatting and restating the facts in some novel way.
		It would then be fairly trivial to download the entire encyclopedia into a portable reader of some sort—hopefully one with solar power or a hand crank, or some other inexhaustible power supply.
