Doomsday Files

Is it really the end of the world or just another ordinary day? Brainwave Labs investigates the deadly Mayan theory about Dec 21, 2012 to uncover the real truth…

It was a regular day at Brainwave Labs (aka BW LABS). Dr. Dodo, Skree! and Bhoo were busy working on an afforestation project that they were planning to kick-start across several parts of India. Arby and Alby were huddled in the library discussing the controversial Mayan theory according to which, the world would end on December 21, 2012.

The Case of the Deafening Silence

Trouble brews at Brainwave Labs as Alby falls mysteriously ill. Once again, our shape-shifting science sleuth, Gaia Goel, must crack the case to save the Smarties from illness and contagion

It is an unusually quiet day at the Brainwave Labs, aka BW Labs, located in one of the secret caves of Dolphin’s Nose. Normally, there are a few explosions, followed by screams of joy or despair. However, it’s nothing but emptiness today. And the only sound you can hear is of the wind blowing across the Nilgiris.

For Bhoo, such utter silence at the BW Labs means one thing: time to call upon her alter ego, Gaia Goel and inspect.

As she approaches the laboratory, she is overpowered by a noxious smell. “Ewww!” gasps Gaia. “What on earth could that be? I wonder what weird experiments the Smarties are up to.”

Dino Deathmatch

Deep under the Dolphin’s Nose Promontory, in the dark caverns of Brainwave Lab, a mealtime brawl was in session.

“It was natural selection!” said Alby, his voice starting to rise. “Times changed, and they all died out SLOWLY because they just couldn’t KEEP UP! The same way your feeble intellect can’t keep up with my awesome logic!”

Tales from the Lab: Part one – Two Timely Arrivals

Deep under the Dolphin’s Nose promontory, in the heart of the Nilgiri hills, there is a set of dark winding caves. Only seven people on Earth know that these caves even exist.

In one of these caves, carefully hidden behind a large pile of bat guano, there is a small stainless steel door. And tacked onto this door is a wooden sign that reads, simply, ‘Brainwave Laboratory’. As you’ve cleverly guessed, this door leads to a science lab. A top secret science lab. Hush!

The Arby Files

Much of Aryabhata’s work was an attempt to explain the relationship of the Earth with the rest of the cosmos. He was one of the first people to claim that the Earth rotated on its own axis.

If it weren’t for the discoveries made by Aryabhata, the world would probably still think that the Moon radiated its own light (instead of reflecting the light from the Sun!). And eclipses would still be thought to be caused by random demons and gods. And the true shape of the Earth’s orbit may never have been understood.
