Sorry if I seem confused but the story seemed to change pace after you showed this though it inst needed, and I do agree conflict is the best way to push this kind of story, are we as readers going to still find out what's going on in the end? And also this is a good story. I hope you don't rush the ending like I see so many other writers do after making choices like this in they're stories a bad or rushed end kills a story.
Well, if I recall correctly, I have given some progress updates on the story as I went. I have a good chunk of the ending posed, and I have it all outlined in my head. I'm at the point in the story where all of the rest of it is plot and exposition, which is in part why I've been taking such a long breather. You'll find out, more or less, what's going on, but I do plan to leave some things up for speculation, and the science might not be as hard as you wish. I'm trying to proceed as best I can so that the things I leave up for speculation are things that can be answered one way or another or several, and not just, 'oh, this is a plot hole.' In this situation, unreliable narrators are a cheap, but effective solution.
Oh you misunderstand, I wasn't attacking you. I love the story so far, great plot, a lot of mystery and conflict to keep it going. This is just when I see writers give up on what would otherwise be a great story, when it's the point when you have to work the hardest. I think that's why they give up though because they didn't realize how hard it would be, so they just give up. It just looked like that's what was going on here was all. So I'm glad I was wrong, and sorry if I seemed accusing.

It's cool. Stuff like this happens all the time when writing a story - we call it "editing". ;)
