science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers
1956 was either a stellar year to be an intergalactic flying saucer menace, or a bad one, depending on your perspective. We have Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Invasion of the Saucer Men, The Thing, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers. Whatever heavy trip the space brothers were laying on us that year (and it had more to do than just cleaning up the environment) the message was delivered by an iron fist in a velvety intergalactic space gauntlet. Or some such.

Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, is a film I well remember from childhood. At the Community Rec Center at Fort Clayton in Central America, Panama, area of the Canal Zone, they played it on an old-fashioned projection TV. It's the only other film I can remember seeing there, besides this thing with Abbot and Costello or Laurel and Hardy as pirates. I can't remember which it was.

I, Willhelm
This job was going to pay for everything. 30 days, one observation partner, and a nice fat pay check at the end. Nadia barely took a moment to think about who might be assigned to the watch with her. She didn’t care. All that mattered is that she would have 30 uninterrupted days to plan out the wedding and have the budget to afford almost anything she wanted by the end. She had already scattered her sketch-books over her bed, several pens with their lids off and filled 3 pages with notes. It was frustrating that she wouldn’t be able to access the internet, but at least with an observation partner she would have some time to plan. Not that it really mattered really, she had already searched as much as she could for every colour scheme, unique theme and memorable moment that she could think of online, now it was just a matter of refining.

Eli Munt had one simple idea; to replace the worlds oldest profession with robots. A connoisseur of various red-light district and enough generational wealth to make his idea a reality, he poured a modest 30 million pounds into the project. At first there were few investors. The two school friends who did eventually agree to be involved in the project insisted that their names be kept secret. The first robots were crude, barely more than a stick-man skeleton with a blubber skin, and their existence was immediately mocked as the failed attempts of a rich boy with more money than sense. Despite the mockery, Eli sensed an opportunity and used social media to turn the robots - the Venus 1 - into a means for publicity. His stunt worked, and sales of the robots increased enough to fund research into the upgrade. An upgrade he was determined would make him is fortune.

Steve MartinPublished 3 months ago in FuturismThe Unknown True Scale of Nuclear Weapons
In the annals of human history, the ominous advent of nuclear weapons marked a turning point—a moment when humanity acquired the means to unleash unimaginable destruction upon itself. The inaugural nuclear weapons test in the arid expanses of New Mexico in 1945 marked the prelude to a trajectory where these weapons evolved into ever more potent instruments of devastation. Since that fateful day, the world has witnessed 2,475 nuclear detonations, with a staggering 85% emanating from the arsenals of just two nations—the United States and the erstwhile Soviet Union.
Time travel is possible
Have you ever found yourself daydreaming about the fantastical notion of traversing the fabric of time? The allure of venturing backward to witness historical epochs or forward to catch a glimpse of the unfolding future has undoubtedly crossed the minds of many. The concept of time travel, once relegated to the realms of science fiction in books and movies, has become a tantalizing subject of scientific exploration. The question lingers: is time travel a mere flight of fancy, or could it be a plausible phenomenon? If it holds any credence, what are the prerequisites and mechanisms that might enable such a profound journey through time?
Akira (Anime)
I vaguely remember seeing Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira as a child--and most likely not understanding a minute of it, but just sitting back and letting the animated images of a futuristic "Neo-Tokyo" wash over me. Decades later, watching it yet again, on a digital YouTube social media platform no one could have foreseen in 1988, I was struck by how modern and well-preserved it is, how much it set the bar for decades of similar anime films, having all the earmarks of the various conventions that define the genre.
