Science Fiction Soundtracks
Science is a systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, knowledge of Greek conceptions of the world deteriorated in Western Europe during the early centuries (400 to 1000 CE) of the Middle Ages, but was preserved in the Muslim world during the Islamic Golden Age and later by the efforts of Byzantine Greek scholars who brought Greek ma ...
