...Kelvin pauses. Something has obviously gone wrong aboard the space lab Solaris. Russian scientist had set up the lab to study a body of liquid on another planet--a thick, oozing, brain-colored expanse called the ocean Solaris. The project began with over 80 experts. Over 80 experts had since left: escaped back to Earth or died...

He finds the space center in a mess: books, wires, levers and clothes strewn about; everywhere the sound of short-circuiting.

...have to be imagined as fabrications of cerebral chemicals. This higher concsiousness can be explained metaphysically as being a form of pure energy that pervades the universe and makes up the protons and electrons themselves. Indeed, astronomers have found that space has a constant temperature of 3° Kelvin held by the uniform spread of radiation from the original "Big Bang" which created the universe...
