Sci Fi
First night
As the metal door slid behind me there was a barely any room to breathe. With confinement like this who needs a coffin, I thought. Three seconds passed before the door in front of me opened. Seeing Ed and Mat waiting for me on the floor I asked, "Does that happen every time?" Both of them nodded their heads. After rolling my eyes I took in the bare walls and saw that the room we were currently in was about the same size as the library. Ed commented with, "This is one of the few rooms that doesn't have cameras watching us." Mat followed with, "From what I know this room doesn't have any hearing devices either, due to me." "So we can talk freely here?", I asked and they both shrugged.

Why we do not remember dreams
The lecturer continued to speak in a monotonous drone in the darkened room. A cold winter’s day meant the heating was up higher than usual, adding to the compulsion to sleep. Isaac could not keep his eyes open any longer. He forgot to buy a coffee or water to see him through. His blinks lengthened and became microsleeps, and he no longer made notes on his lecture pad.

Top 10 Space Mysteries That Scientists Can’t Explain
are you ready yeah let's do it welcome and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 space mysteries that scientists can't explain but in truth everything about it is unfamiliar for this list we'll be looking at questions about our wider universe that experts are still investigating which of these would you most like answered got any theories tell us in the comments number 10 a possible multiverse the multiverse is a fun idea to contemplate and makes for some imaginative tales the multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little but there may also be truth to the concept the basic idea is that our universe might be one of many perhaps even an infinite number the existence of a multiverse has been proposed not only by philosophers but also physicists and cosmologists if we could visit these other universes we'd find that some might have basic properties of nature so far in that matter as we know it couldn't exist one suggestion is that it explains how our own universe seems to be fine-tuned for conscious life in an infinite multiverse it's a sure bet that some of them will have the right initial conditions for the evolution of thinking beings it's a bizarrely strange place that scientists are still struggling to imagine some think it may even look a bit like this where each one of these stretched bubbles represents a universe as large and complex as ours many scientists are skeptical of the idea however questioning whether it can ever be proven maybe our counterparts in a parallel world know the answer sounds about right but we don't talk about that do we no we don't number nine tabi's star there are an estimated 100 to 400 billion stars in our galaxy the milky way but one in particular has captured the attention of the scientific community known as tabby's star it's about 1470 light years away in the constellation cygnus it's basically a very weird star it's a very strange star what this star showed is something very very large and and very very dark appeared to be passing between us and the star it's not a planet because we know that it's not round and it doesn't orbit at a fixed period the star mysteriously dims and brightens over time and the bizarre light fluctuations have baffled scientists often a drop in a star's light levels is a sign that a planet is passing in front of it but even a planet the size of jupiter would only block about one percent of the light coming from a star like this several theories have been put forth but no consensus has been reached the theories in question range from a cloud of dust orbiting the star to space debris periodically obscuring the light some scientists have even speculated that there's an alien megastructure involved but if we're already invoking aliens in this explanation then who's to say they didn't efficiently clean up all this mess for recycling purposes maybe in a few years we'll know the truth it's hard to study something so far away number eight jupiter's great red spot one of jupiter's distinguishing characteristics is undoubtedly its great red spot while it looks quite small within the context of the entire planet the spot is actually enormous the largest storm in the entire solar system with wind speeds up to 268 miles per hour the giant red spot is over ten thousand miles wide larger than the diameter of earth but scientists studying this spot have noticed that it has been changing over time the color is deepening and it's actually shrinking and getting rounder even more fascinating it's believed that the storm has been raging for at least three and a half centuries on earth cyclones die when they hit land but jupiter has no land to stop its storms almost unlimited heat to fuel them and a rapid rotation and yet we know very little about it we don't really know what caused it where it draws its incredible energy or why it's been going on for so long over the next couple of decades it's believed the great red spot will shrink in longitude and become more circular it could stay that way for many years but if the grs becomes too elongated the jet streams could rip the anti-cyclone apart heck we don't even know for sure why it's red number seven missing baryonic matter dark energy and dark matter make up 95 of the universe the remaining 5 consists of visible or baryonic matter dark matter is believed to be an invisible stuff that interacts only through gravity it comprises 80 of the mass of the universe or around 25 of its total energy content the only thing is there should be way more baryonic matter around than there actually is studies have found a serious discrepancy in the amount of baryonic matter that existed after the big bang and the amount that surrounds today in the observable universe in fact over half of this matter just seems to be missing so what the heck happened to the rest of it scientists do have theories believing that some of this matter exists as difficult to detect hot strands between galaxy pairs or outside dark matter halos but research continues as measurements improve number six alien life people just want to think that it's real they want to think it's real so bad that they they're not looking at it completely objectively if it is real we got to know for sure it's perhaps the biggest question we all want an answer for are we alone in the universe mind you extraterrestrial life could be as simple as a single-celled organism extraterrestrial life you're right jerry the people are gonna love it but the odds do seem to be in favor of the idea of intelligent life out there somewhere too back in 1961 astronomer frank drake and his colleagues presented the drake equation which attempts to estimate the number of communicative alien civilizations in our galaxy the drake equation however is different because there are so many unknowns it has no right answer as we learn more about our universe and our place within it some of the unknowns get better known and we can estimate an answer a bit better their original estimates were 1 000 to 100 million even conservative estimates often land in the thousands just imagine how many more could be out there in the wider universe beyond the milky way number five the size of the universe there are many things we don't know about the universe we inhabit for example it's shape although scientists think it's probably flat it's way way bigger so we just we're just looking at a little piece and that's why it looks flat more interestingly we don't know its true size ever since the big bang 13.8 billion years ago space has been constantly expanding in fact space may expand faster than light can traverse it meaning that we will never observe parts of the universe beyond certain points what we do know is the size of the observable universe comprising objects whose light has had time to reach our solar system not everything you can see in the night sky is actually in our galaxy it turns out that some of those faint dots are in fact other galaxies the furthest object you can see actually with with the unaided eye is another galaxy called andromeda and it's big 93 billion light years across the entire universe may be 250 times bigger than that or it may simply stretch into infinity so the next time you stand gazing up at the night sky take a moment to think about the enormity of what is beyond your vision out in the dark spaces between the stars number four the fate of the universe we have an idea about how the universe began with the big bang but how will it end the answer all depends on the universe's density if the universe is dense enough to counter expansion the universe will contract in a big crunch one theory suggests that our universe will run out of steam and stop expanding every star galaxy and planet every atom will start to collapse ending in a single super dense pinpoint known as the big crunch some believe that afterwards a big bounce will occur with a new big bang emerging from the singularity in contrast the big rip theorizes that the universe will continue to expand until tearing itself apart the big rip is one theory cruising just above earth's atmosphere and peering deep into space the hubble telescope provides scientists with clues to a less violent but equally unavoidable end of the universe the leading theory is the big freeze in which continued expansion makes star formation impossible and the universe exhausts its finite source of energy cooling to absolute zero the expansion wouldn't be able to accelerate anymore but the universe would keep getting bigger clusters of galaxies would separate the objects within the galaxies suns planets and solar systems would move away from each other until galaxies dissolved into lonely objects floating separately in the vast space number three dark matter and energy it's pretty astounding to think that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe and we really don't know anything about them the question that's now obsessing astronomers including michael turner is what dark energy might be so we just don't know what it is if it is the uh like einstein's cosmological constant then it's just the energy of nothing and according to quantum mechanics nothing is not nothing we know that dark matter exists due to certain gravitational effects and dark energy thanks to the fact that the universe's expansion is accelerating but what are they one theory posits that dark energy is a fundamental energy intrinsic to space itself scientists believe it makes up 85 of the matter in the universe and also controls the remaining 15 percent regular matter like stars planets us if they're right dark matter played a critical role in actually building the universe we see today dark matter on the other hand may consist of as yet undiscovered subatomic particles but really these are just our best guesses since dark matter doesn't seem to interact with the electromagnetic field we have no way of directly observing it it's ghost matter it doesn't glow it doesn't reflect light but it adds to the gravitating mass of objects and if such a clump of material passes through or near our solar system its gravitational force could have a profound effect number two before the big bang it's an interesting question because that's i just repeat there's there's no data to base anything on right um it's it's an open question our present there's a strong scientific consensus that our universe began with what we call the big bang 13.8 billion years ago a singularity a point of infinite density expanded sending forth matter and energy so the big bang is the observed truth but there are details that haven't been quite worked out there are a lot of things that may have happened it's just one explanation but that just raises more questions where did all that matter and energy come from since space-time was created with the big bang maybe it doesn't make sense to ask what came before the singularity to ask what's before the big bang what's before there is time is really a meaningless question and likewise to ask where the big bang occurred is meaningless because there was no space but we can ask why is there something rather than nothing one possible answer is that the universe is cyclical moving between big bangs and big crunches the stars will collide the planets will collide planets will get swallowed by stars even that though doesn't really answer all of our questions before we continue be sure to subscribe to

switch on your notifications number one life when we ask why there's something rather than nothing it can also be a way of asking why are we here how are we here why were the initial conditions of the universe such that life could arise how did atoms come together and start thinking about themselves in 1953 one scientist shook the world when he proposed an answer primordial soon life began on earth about four billion years ago some scientists think that asteroids and comets brought the necessities for life to our planet the latest theory is that chemicals spewing from underwater volcanic vents solidified and created towers like these and this produced the conditions needed for the first cells to form believers in panspermia hold that life originated elsewhere and was brought to earth via the same means another important idea which is the one that i would subscribe to is down at the bottom of the oceans in deep sea hydrothermal vents where you've got this continuous flow this continuous energy flow kind of animating everything from the very beginning however this just defers the question how does life form so far scientists have been unable to create new life from scratch

The Celestial Reunion
Long ago, in a realm beyond the boundaries of human perception, existed a wondrous city known as Astraloria. This city was home to celestial beings of extraordinary power and knowledge. Among them, two great entities stood out - Aurora, the radiant spirit of light, and Zephyr, the gentle and caring guardian of the skies. Aurora's presence filled the city with shimmering iridescence, while Zephyr's soothing breaths caressed the vast expanse of Astraloria's skies. The two beings were inseparable friends, and their bond was the essence of tranquility and beauty that permeated the realm. Yet, in the midst of their harmony, a mysterious and ominous presence began to emerge. This entity was known as Xanthos, the enigmatic embodiment of darkness and chaos. Xanthos grew jealous of Aurora and Zephyr's bond, for he craved the attention and admiration they received from the other celestial beings. Driven by his malevolent desires, Xanthos devised a treacherous plan to sever the friendship between Aurora and Zephyr. He created a mystical artifact, the "Cerulean Crystal," which had the power to alter the essence of any being it touched. Xanthos knew that if he could tamper with the celestial energies that connected Aurora and Zephyr, he could force them apart. Under the guise of a gift, Xanthos presented the Cerulean Crystal to Aurora, claiming it was a rare gem with the ability to enhance her radiant light. Eager to explore new possibilities, Aurora accepted the gift with gratitude. As soon as the crystal touched her, a surge of energy coursed through her being, but it was not the enhancement Xanthos had promised. Unbeknownst to Aurora, the Cerulean Crystal had absorbed a fraction of Xanthos' malevolence, tainting the essence of her light. As the darkness spread within her, her brilliance dimmed, and her light took on a subtle blue hue. Aurora, now burdened with this unexpected transformation, sought solace in the skies with Zephyr. She confided in her dear friend, who listened attentively and assured her that they would face this together.As they soared through the heavens, Zephyr noticed the subtle change in Aurora's light. His caring nature sensed the sorrow in her heart, and he vowed to find a way to restore her brilliance. The two friends embarked on a quest to seek the guidance of the ancient celestial seers, hoping to discover a remedy for Aurora's condition. The celestial seers, masters of cosmic knowledge, consulted the celestial archives and revealed that the Cerulean Crystal contained the essence of darkness, and only an ancient artifact known as the "Iridescent Orb" held the power to purify it. However, locating the Iridescent Orb was no easy task, for it lay hidden in the most elusive corners of the cosmos. Unfazed, Zephyr and Aurora embarked on a cosmic journey, visiting distant galaxies, traversing nebulae, and encountering celestial wonders beyond imagination. Throughout their journey, Zephyr's compassion and Aurora's unwavering hope fueled their determination. As they faced trials and encountered various celestial beings, they spread light and warmth wherever they went, leaving a trail of stars that shone like beacons of hope in the cosmic void. Finally, their quest led them to theFinally, their quest led them to the Astral Garden, a mythical realm that existed beyond time and space. There, they encountered the wise and ancient being known as Lumina, the guardian of the Iridescent Orb. Lumina sensed the purity of their hearts and the depth of their bond, and she revealed the true nature of the Iridescent Orb. It was not just an artifact of purification but a symbol of the unbreakable bond between light and sky. To obtain the orb, Aurora and Zephyr needed to affirm their friendship and embrace the harmony between their essences.With renewed hope and determination, Aurora and Zephyr placed their hands upon the Iridescent Orb, and a brilliant light enveloped them. The darkness within the Cerulean Crystal dissolved, leaving only a pristine and dazzling gem in its place. Their bond reaffirmed and their essences realigned, Aurora and Zephyr returned to Astraloria, and the city shimmered with jubilation. Aurora's light, now radiant as ever, embraced the skies in a mesmerizing display of colors, a celestial dance that brought tears of joy to the eyes of all who witnessed it. And so, the myth of the Celestial Reunion became a tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the enduring bond between light and sky. To this day, when we gaze at the heavens, and see the blue expanse above, we are reminded of the great journey of Aurora and Zephyr and the timeless lesson that true friendship can overcome even the darkest of challenges.

Becoming Jesus
Jesus of Narareth does not exist. He is not/was not a real person, neither son of God, nor son of Mary and Joseph. That is the conclusion the man had reached after spending approximately one year scouring all of the lands mentioned in the Bible and much further in search of the holy man revered, and worshiped by billions across his planet earth and well beyond. In his time, the distant future, the Christian faith, along with many other human religious traditions, had spread out far into the Milky Way galaxy. As humans had mastered the ability to travel great distances through space and encountered intelligent alien species, they had brought their religious beliefs with them. Some of the earliest and most important explorers of the galaxy, were in fact religious proselytizers or missionaries. They were hoping to convert to their faith any intelligent beings they might encounter, exactly as the early sea faring explorers of earth had done some 3500 years prior, discovering and eventually settling new lands. In the process, through war and disease, they had killed millions of indigenous peoples, but their efforts gave way to the rise of human civilization and the spread of Christianity to all corners of the world.
