From my miniscule familiarity of his work I wasn't aware that his novels contained such things. I had the impression they were hard Sci-Fi. Sure such novels are scientifically accurate, but when it takes a million years for anything to actually happen on a galactic scale there's not much excitement. I base such assumptions on once reading "The Time Ships"(and I'm not saying he wrote it for all I know) and some series (the name of which elludes me) where the aliens took something like a few million years to convert a galaxy to create a portal to another dimension.
