Chapter End Notes: Aperture Science... This is the second time I've mentioned them in this series (the first being Darcy's business card). It's a company from the Portal series of games. Aperture Science was founded in 1953 by Cave Johnson, a former shower curtain salesman. Here's a good quote by Cave that I think shows the company's philosophy: "Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired."
We're talking about a company that tried to turn human blood to gasoline or peanut water... Because they can.
Doctor Williamson may have slightly been influenced by Sheldon Cooper on Big Bang Theory. Just slightly…
