I read somewhere on the Internet that there was this neat little nook in Virginia Highlands in Atlanta called the Spacetime Institute which is sort of a library, museum and learning center all rolled into one. It was small library focused on helping people understand information and stuff about the galaxy and the earth. We had a couple of kids with us at that time and felt that they would be happy there after all. So off we went.

First of all, it WAS small but we were not really disappointed despite having visited so many tourist attractions that costs millions and billions of dollars because this is a non-profit organization and is run by a friendly bunch of young volunteers who are really obsessed with the Universe. Having spoken to one of them, I learned that he volunteered to work at the Spacetime Institute because he liked being surrounded by so much information about the world and the galaxy. He found it reveling to be able to share the information with others as well.

In short, the Spacetime Institute focuses and intends to promote the study of theoretical works, which means that most of the stuff in there are theories and hypothesis. It was dark in there - they wanted to give visitors the feeling of being in the center of the Universe so the place is dark gray and black. The small library offers up a world of literature relating to everything science….from philosophy to space-time theory. If you want to check your email, you can do it here as well because there are personal computers with internet access for you; however, we did a little of research on time-traveling from the books and the internet.

Little did we know how much we would enjoy the trip there because we almost forgot about dinner.

By the time we headed back into the rented charter bus, our minds were a little bigger. The Spacetime Institute is definitely worth a visit if you decided to call an Atlanta charter bus rental company up, book a bus for a weekend visit.
