When I clicked on the page, there is one line then a large empty space before a series of pictures, with names and subject of articles. What isin the space on your screen?

There is some text:

"What scientific term or concept ought to be more widely known?" followed by "This year, the Edge.org Annual Question surveyed leading thinkers about the ideas that deserve more exposure beyond the world of science. A selection of answers. Published Dec. 28, 2016"

Each of the pictures, when clicked, leads to a short piece by the author with links to the other pieces.

ETA: Behind the text is an image of a galactic spiral.
