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”.
Is it possible that we are living in a simulation?
Is our planet, the cosmos and everything in it realistic? Is the universe nothing more than a hologram, a projection of 2D fields and parameters? Or are we living in a computer simulation of a higher civilisation in terms of cognition and technology? People have been arguing this subject for ages and science fiction has infinite variations on this premise.
Michael SchwarzPublished 3 years ago in FuturismControl
I am lost in my computer and my computer is lost in my body. My mind is controlled by a series of commands and demands that are keeping me alive. I'm not sure what it all means but I just go on living in a rut of routinely obeying the commands that are put into my mind. So I ask the question am I my own person or am I a person who is driven by a driver that is someone other than myself?
Rick Henry ChristopherPublished 3 years ago in FuturismHow We Saved The World
Everything changed that fateful day. Despite us being equipped with warnings from the past and knowledge to prepare for the events that unfolded. All we could do was watch it happen. On that eventful day of May 27, 2051, an earthquake triggered a tsunami off the coast of California. Within days, two-thirds of the West Coast seaboard had submerged. Many were unable to evacuate in time. They fell off-grid, just gone and whole cities had fallen off the face of the earth.

Toni was relegated to the back office in her later years, though still in her early fifties passing for 38. Management was no longer hiring mid career and the age gap became obvious. When there were thirty and forty somethings she could blend in. Hiring the young grads and millennials, made Toni look more like their mother than a co-conspirator.

“Good morning, Takeru. Did you sleep well?” “Good morning, SeTi. Like a baby, thank you.” “Breakfast is ready for you at the table, the coffee is still brewing.”
Mariya BarakovaPublished 3 years ago in FuturismThe Ophidian Uprising
The Ophidian Uprising An almost deathly frost hung in the air as Svelte made her way down the well-beaten path of the forest. Her feet left no mark on the path, partly because she was a slither of a thing (amongst her people anyway) like her name suggested, but mostly because she wasn’t using them. Her body glid through the air with the precision of a japanese blade, steeled against the cold, not quite able to adjust to the bizarreness of being out of the water.

What is Science Fiction? ( Is a question that many ponder as they organize the various estrangements of writing genre that they are familiar with in so any senses of the words 'science' and 'fiction'.)
Epitome PublishingPublished 3 years ago in FuturismThe Quantum Realm
They have developed quantum technology to explain the perception of several classical physics that could not be described as a kind of light. They say that neural brain systems create complex networks and that consciousness is formed by obeying the laws of quantum mechanics, a theory that determines how small particles such as electrons move. Several years later, Schrodinger created a Wave equation, describing the quantum state of a particle or group of particles.

Abraham’s body jolted to the right as the spaceship avoided another chuck of debris from the comet. The navigation control had the target in sight but getting there was going to be a bit tricky. Luckily, he had a great pilot. His confidence in the situation never made him nervous.

Since its inception, war has been an integral part of humanity's existence on Earth. Unfortunately, as time passed, the Earth itself began to feel the effects of violence. Bombs, cannon-fire, dangerous chemicals. After being abused for so long, it was only natural for Earth to start fighting back.

“What's the total?” Short sigh “A hundred and twelve.” “A hundred and twelve small frozen ponds, all circular, randomly spaced on a dwarf planet. The planet has no atmosphere, is nine hundred and seventy kilometres in diameter. Ponds are all eight to nine hundred metres across and contain the only water detectable. Planets like this usually have a thick crust of ice.”
