Do You Like Science Fiction?
Posted by admin on 25th May , 2010Many folks enjoy Science Fiction and recently a friend who is a vegetarian and has lived all over Europe expressed to me his years of reading Sci Fi and listed many of his favorite authors. These included authors like Robert Heinlein, Charles Sheckley, Larry Niven, Isaac Asimov, Ursula k. Leguin… older science fiction for the most part also a little of say William Gibson or newer Heinlein.
In fact he likes science fiction so much he is considering on writing his own science fiction book soon. I thought to myself; “wow!” that is one heck of a line-up of great authors so indeed, I bet whatever he writes will be inspired by some of the greatest science fiction writers of all time. Myself I like Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Ben Bova, Caleb Carr, Stephen Baxter, Jules Vern, Gene Roddenberry, HG Wells, and try to stay away from the Science Fiction Fantasy. Although, I must say I do rather enjoy such movies in the theatre. Since then space search has been a constant battle between the two countries with the astronauts of the USA and cosmonauts of Russia striving to explore more, to find more and to know more about space. In this conventional viewpoint, the wave, “wavicle”, for more details visit to www.auto-cons.com or particle separates from the source, moves through empty space, and then is absorbed by the sink, thereby becoming a part of the sink and fully divorced from the source. That way perhaps you won’t notice being pelted by friendly fire from casually discarded space junk, nor will you be aware of your vital organs expanding and bursting in the vacuum created by zero air pressure
Between the two of us, I’d say that those are very famous and interesting authors. So we discussed the future of propulsion technologies that we both believe to be forthcoming and decided we wouldn’t mind a long-term space mission for the benefit of exploration, truth, science and humanity. Energetic radiation/absorption along primary (oscillation along the line over time; can be modeled as a pair of points on the line, one on each side of the center, for more details visit to www.profit-pulling-niches.com moving with equivalent but varying spacing between each of them and the center point. “Yes, I too would have no problem with a year’s space flight, each way or even 5-years, if I had access to information to learn and study.” I told him.
In the future Virtual Reality might help entertain space travelers from going stir crazy? Soon mankind will depart from this home planet in search of our future destiny and all that awaits. Amazingly, enough it won’t be long now.

Science Fiction Throughout the Ages and Into the Future!
Posted by admin on 5th May , 2010The evolution of science fiction movies over the last 50 years can be attributed to much more than the advances in special effects and movie-making technology (although those changes have had an effect); the biggest influence on scifi during this time period are the events that occurred in the real world. These past five decades leading up to today have been subject to an ever-accelerating onslaught of technological achievements and world-changing events.
While every movie is subject to the trends of each time period, science fiction has an intimate connection to both technology and the real world. The very definition of science fiction references the impact that current and past events have on the genre. As defined by scifi author Robert A. Heinlein, science fiction is a realistic speculation about possible future events based on the past and present knowledge of the real world. For these reasons, the cause of the evolution of science fiction movies is the real world, stated in another way: science fiction comes from reality.
Improvements in film making and the success of science fiction in the 1960s rapidly advanced the development of science fiction movies during the 1970s. Achievements in technology during the 1970s included many that changed the everyday life of many people, including the pocket calculator, car airbags, barcodes, Sony Walkman, and the home computer. Other influential technologies included the Space Shuttle, Neutron Bomb and the supersonic Concorde. A population explosion to 4.4 Billion people as of 1978 also had an impact on the genre. The hedonistic atmosphere of the decade was featured in the 1976 scifi movie Logan’s Run, while concerns about overpopulation were featured in the 1973 movie Soy lent Green.
With the proliferation of computer technology in film-making, new, more advanced movies began to be produced in the 1980s. These new technology were used to produce some of the most mind-blowing special effects ever featured in science fiction movies, as seen in Predator, The Terminator, and Flight of the Navigator. Blade Runner was one of the first scifi films that featured a dystopia, rather than the all-out apocalypse seen in The Road Warrior or The Terminator future. One topic that seemed to be featured repeatedly was the concept of the evil, all-powerful corporations that rule the world and beyond. This concept can be found in Robocop, Aliens, Blade Runner, and the Terminator.
Worldwide natural catastrophes were themes in Artificial Intelligence: AI, The Core, and Sunshine; genetic engineering and cloning in The 6th Day; Mars in Mission to Mars and Red Planet. There have also been numerous movies created from comic book characters, super heroes, and video games, including X-Men, Resident Evil (1, 2, and 3), Iron Man, The Hulk, and many more. New movie making technologies were used in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Donnie Dark is a modern-day cult classic featuring a mysterious antihero and Children of Men is said to be a modern-day Blade Runner.
So what does the future hold for scifi movies? What will the 2010s be all about? If the past is any indication, I believe we’ll see influential events of the next three years impact the 2010s greatly. Terrorism will be a recurring theme along with futures rife with economic hardships. A fear of people will grow as the current global recession influences crime rates, murders, war, and every other type of violent event. People’s concern for the planet, which has been prevalent during the recently splayed high-oil-price age, will be replaced by a concern for personal safety. Formerly growing power-houses like China, along with every Arab nation that benefited from high oil prices, will fall back to Earth as reality sets in, disappointing every one of their citizens that caught a glimpse of the good life. In short, I think we’re on the brink of World War III, which will be created as the worst economic-stimulus package ever devised.
10 points if you can name this canceled American science fiction show?
Posted by admin on 25th April , 2010I am trying to find the name of a television show that was canceled in the 90s in the first season. It had an awesome intro in piano. It was science fiction. The story had to do with a Caucasian guy with brown hair who had to inject himself with some kind of drug in order to stay alive…it may have also had to do with a government cover up, artifacts and aliens if I remember. Anyone know the name ? 10 points if you can give me an answer.
