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”.

She organized the ingredients in straight lines on the marble counter. Garlic, olive oil, basil, pasta, tomatoes, salt. “Heat a medium pot of water to boiling.” The system’s voice dictated over a cheerful piano melody. “Add a sprinkle of salt to water.”

Time. It is a fascinating thing. It always keeps moving. Sometimes it passes too quickly. Sometimes it feels awfully sluggish. But the clock is always ticking. And yet sometimes it has the tendency to stand absolutely still. Time really is a mysterious thing. We, humans, have always been obsessed with time and its passage, which is why we have invented a plethora of methods - sundials, hourglasses, clocks - to measure it. We celebrate, and at the same time mourn, the passage of time. And the one thing that we want to do the most is to travel through time. Even while having casual conversations, we end up talking about time travel quite a lot. Questions like what would we do if we were given a chance to travel back in time, what would we tell our past selves, or what would we ask our future selves, turn out to be great conversation starters. Our obsession with time travel has been well represented in both the literature and the movies. The Time Machine by H G Wells introduced us to the idea of traveling through time with the help of a device in 1895. Stories like Kindred by Octavia E Butler, 11/22/63 by Stephen King, The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, and The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell, all have the main character(s) interacting with and/or manipulating the flow of time. Even Hermione traveled through time in her third year at Hogwarts. But all excursions through time are not identic. Every story adds its own flavor to the concept of time travel. Please have a look here to enjoy the very many realizations of time travel in books and movies.

***20 Million Miles to Earth is a science fiction monster movie from the Fifties, made more charming and more exciting by the fact that it dispenses with the typical "guy in a rubber monster suit" in favor of really impressive stop-motion animation by Ray Harryhausen, the pioneer, and legend in this field. (To slightly misquote Stephen King's seminal nonfiction study of horror, Danse Macabre, Harryhausen use to "pal around with a guy named Ray Bradbury" when he was a kid.")
What Has Metaverse Got in Store for the Enterprise?
Even though the concept of Metaverse has been around for a while now, it continues to be one of those abstruse terms. It means different things to different people. While one person may describe it as a gaming platform, another might introduce it as a community-building system. What does it mean to you, though?
Your Brain Is Gone
"We needed a special license for everything on Earth. We needed one for driving, for cooking, for massaging, and eventually for thinking. We were plugged into big MetaVR Programs most of our lives that used our thoughts and imaginations, and we had to take tests to prove we could use them for ourselves and ended up hiding, and paying for the progress of human beings with our life energy."

Liv tramps across the city. The faded lights of a neon shop sign act as her spotlight. She moves from one distant light to the next, like a moth fluttering from flickering stoplights to street lamps to glowing billboards. One of the storefronts catches her eye. She stops for a moment, staring at it. The giant glass display has been shattered thoroughly. The cardboard cuts out of men and women who have lost their heads. Their torn-up smiles and hollow eyes lie on the floor. She looks further into the store. No rats or roaches, she notes, though she is certain some are hiding around somewhere. No living people either. Never any living people. Being careful to avoid the glass littering the ground, Liv walks closer. Despite knowing that this one has already been raided, she can’t help but have an interest in it. She’s certain this would’ve been one of the shops she’d have liked if only she could’ve been around when it was open.

Where do we come from and where does the world come from? What is the world made of? We are privileged to live in an age where we have come close enough to some of the answers. String theory is our latest attempt to answer the last of these questions - the "Theory of Everything".

A study shows that artificial intelligence (AI) has the capability to accurately predict someone’s race in radiographic images. This is something that human experts were not able to do. They couldn't predict self-reported race from these images.

When Time Runs Out CH3
CH 3 At the end of the day, you have to rest on the actions that you chose. Not always the easiest thing to do. Lying to yourself is so much easier, even if the nightmares like to try to bring memories to the surface. But sometimes there is that one person that no matter what you did, how they view your actions will scare you so much more than anything.

There has never been a film like Metropolis, which was lensed nearly one hundred years ago, and which has an enduring power that verges on the supernatural. You may think I exaggerate; I do not. I first saw the film in a dream, as a child, before I EVER SAW A SINGLE FRAME OF IT.
