"Letters to the Purple Satin Killer" by Joshua Chaplinsky is a horror novel that tells the story of Jonas Williker, a notorious serial killer, through a series of letters he receives in prison. Williker, known as the Purple Satin Killer, raped and murdered 24 women and left torn fabric on or inside their bodies. The novel explores the letters from various individuals, including Williker's mother and a former politician, which adds to the implausibility of the story. While the author attempts to create a true crime atmosphere, the unrealistic details and unlikely characters undermine the overall effectiveness of the novel. [Extracted from the article]

This article presents information related to technology. The American Museum of Natural History in New York wanted a number of interactive exhibits, including one that demonstrated Einstein's principle of time dilation, which says that clocks in motion run slower than those that arc standing still. By moving a column of white LEDs horizontally past a phosphorescent panel, the exhibit designers were able to depict a pulse of light oscillating between two boundaries. The moving clock pulse necessarily traces a longer path than the pulse of a stationary clock.

It needs plots involving real cosmological issues such as time dilation, black holes, the mystery of dark matter and parallel universes. Another reader said that the latest Doctor Who has no more chance than the Teletubbies of interesting children in science.
