The elasticity of String Theory & The Theory of Everything explained as never before, ‘a network of companies, within a next generation Software Framework’

String Theory, Chaos Theory, The Higgs Boson and The Theory of Everything, explained as ‘strings of companies, given power by the S-World/Villa Secrets Network.’

But before the particle physics, some network history. Which in a way started in 1991 and ran till 1999 as a part of Nick Ray’s job as a Cubase programmer was to create Midi networks. However the first, almost global network was nearly created in 2004.

Lux Guides – Virtual Travel Network – 2004

S-World and Villa Secrets stem from a global networking project called Lux Guides.com in 2004, which was the global title for the CapeTownGuide.com & the SouthAfricanGuide.com which were the first working virtual tour websites created using Flash and JavaScript.

Having already made a deal with SA’s only satellite TV network to present the tours on their digital channels, the objective was to connect to Galileo GDS to bring online booking of hotels onto the website.

Quite a lot of work was put in and interesting partners were made along the way, but in the end, the project did not get off the ground, and worse the website domains were not extended and all the work was lost, except for an adaptation that is seen on CapeVillas.com/CTG
