Although Philosateleia might initially appear to be an unfriendly place to science, intellectuals put a great deal of time and energy into the study of physical laws and nature. The government supports the efforts of researchers at the University of Philosateleia to learn more about their world and the universe in general.

Past Contributions
A team of top-notch scientists led by Philateleo Philatelei has made great progress in numerous areas. The researchers identified the origin of philatelists and of Philosateleia itself, and have recorded numerous data concerning the satellite.

The role played by the science team that landed with the original group of interglobal settlers is, however, of perhaps even greater importance. Without the expertise and practical knowledge of those individuals on a variety of matters, successful settlement of Philosateleia would have been much more difficult, if not impossible.

Current Research
Despite their previous successes, Philatelei and his associates are not resting. Instead, they are attempting to answer some of the major questions facing humanity:
- How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
- What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
- Who ate my sandwich?

The researchers are also working in cooperation with other organizations and agencies.
