a place where 100 years means nothing

Starlab was a privately funded research lab that was supposed to work on technologies that become practical in decades or centuries. Located in Brussels, Belgium, it had over 70 of the world's best researchers working on crazy and sci-fi stuff such as time travel, artificial brain building, creating wealth, quantum consciousness, building serendipity, art, and even galactic civilisations!

Our role is to show the feasibility of crazy ideas. Starlab is a crazy company where you can realise crazy things without limitations. You can get people to back an idea without worrying about whether it will fit a particular business plan. At Starlab there is no risk of being conservative, because we are inventing the future. - Ronald Schrooten

On June 21, 2001, thanks to the dotcom burst, the company filed for bankruptcy, and ceased to exist :(
