Time Design - Lost Hours
It is important to understand that although we all seem to share common experiences of the world, in reality, we only gather information from our senses and then create a representation of the world inside our minds. This means that effectively, each of us lives inside our own parallel universe and proper communication about such subjects as “time” is impossible most of the time. This may be the problem that highlights the limitations of our languages and the obvious solution is to invest into other modes of expression and perception.

NASA is expected to launch its latest Mars rover, Perseverance, on a first-of-its-kind mission to the Red Planet. Its job is to collect and store geological samples so they can eventually be returned to Earth. Perseverance will spend its days poking the Jezero Crater, an ancient Martian river delta. For that, it needs some damn good computers at least by Martian standards.
The end of the world
That’s how the REM song went and that’s what the Mayans predicted for 2012. You remember that, don’t you? We were all on the edge of our seats on December 21, 2011. Waiting for the end of the world, waiting for the meteors, earthquakes, tsunamis for the end of our world.

Culture SlatePublished 4 years ago in FuturismMission - Earth:12KB4 Could Mean Confronting Ancient Aliens, Myth or Not...
You know, it's one thing to talk about doing this and doing that, but a time comes when you have to do more than just talk. You have to actually act, but before you do that, you have to plan. You have to do some research, crack open a book or two and basically get your act together to show that you actually know what you're doing. And so it is with what probably is the most ambitious exploratory mission ever taken since Apollo 11. Mission - Earth:12KB4. The time travel project to establish bases, and then ultimately settlements and cities, approximately 12,000 years in the past as I described in the breakthrough paper, A Special Report:TEMPORAL_ESCAPE.

What is a Full Moon? A Full Moon occurs when the sun is opposite the moon, representing the peak, or climax of the lunar cycle. Throughout history, Full Moons have been known to cause unexpected events, and strange behavior. Because the two luminaries are in opposition to one another, Full Moons are known to highlight any opposing forces or polarities in your life, such as the balance between self and the other, the balance between the masculine and feminine, and the balance between work and home.
Kaitlyn MauraPublished 4 years ago in FuturismFirst Letter to the Disciples
Dearest Disciples, I have become keenly aware of the desert within the minds of each of you. For some, the desert is in patches scattered amongst fields of lush greenery which bear such fine fruits, both ordinary and unique. However, I have noticed the vastness of this desert in quite a few of my assigned disciples and hope to bring fertility to the sands. There are oases dotted throughout the barren desert, and it is there where my work shall begin. For the rest of you, consider these initial letters as mere review while I bring your colleagues into the wellspring that it is the ways of the magical.

Cries for help filled the air as Mari ran from the small mountain village faster than a mortal's legs could carry her. Tears streaming from her eyes were blown free from the wind hitting her stinging face. The wind, the pain behind the tears, the rocks along the ground, and the foliage scraping against her skin all stung to her soul. Her body was weary. She gave everything to the fight. She saved many of the villagers' lives from the wolf-like beast attacking them tonight, but in the end she turned away from them. In the end she ran. She left her family behind as she sprinted away with no care for her heading. How long had it been since they arrived in the village. How long since she saw the other hunters near death or worse from fighting that beast? Her thoughts were so different when this night began. She was excited to be on a hunt alone with her father. Her brothers were away on a mission of their own, and this late night request could only be answered by them. She was ready to live up to her nickname, prodigy. She was ready to save lives. The two of them were in perfect sink as the fighting began. Her father using his magical spear, and her using her umbrella kept the beast at bay. That was the job. To keep the villagers safe, and the beast contained until help arrived. Everything was going to plan, until the second Fren arrived. This wolf-like beast, considerably larger than the first, carried three men from its mouth. Slowly it strolled in taking its place along its smaller companion. Slowly the men came into view. Mari recognized Kai, Micah, and Roman immediately once the Fren grew close enough for her keen eyes. The rest was a blur of panic and pain. Dropping her guard to break formation nearly got her father killed. She abandoned her training at that moment as she rushed the larger beast holding her brothers. This entire night was a set up. This was a trap meant for her family. The famed monster hunters of the Ember Mountains were now the hunted. Mari shuttered to think of how long her strong brave brothers had been carried in that things filthy mouth. Rage consumed her. She could only imagine the wounds they suffered to be so helpless in its maw. With swiftness she had never known she rushed the larger beast. Leaving her father to fight the smaller Fren on his own. Her father made the family proud that day. He remained calm as he landed blow after blow with the magical spear. Keeping the monster at bay long enough for her to squeeze through and reach her siblings was all he could do for her. Somewhere deep in the back of her mind she wondered why he didn’t try and stop her. Perhaps he couldn’t stop her.

The two of them made their way back the way they came through the twisting channels of The Underdark. When they reached the dead end Hadmorlin stopped and raised his hand and moved it in a circular motion while muttering the same incantations under his breath. After about ten seconds he stepped through and disappeared into the cave wall. Thia followed behind him. When they stepped through it was nightfall, but they were no longer in Sildëyuir.
Destiny JosephPublished 4 years ago in FuturismOur favourite virtual friends.
I think sometimes that they’re a really dysfunctional family or group of friends that used to get along and no longer do. They’re nice everytime and they usually say hi back. Yet, you’ll never meet them face to face. Not because they are too busy, they always make time for you. And they aren’t shy, they talk a lot. They can be stupid but seem to know a lot and they never stop using the internet.
