Exploring the future of science today, while looking back on the achievements from yesterday. Science fiction is science future.

Cross Roads
Cross Roads EXT. ALLEYWAY - NIGHT Fading from black, the sound of constant rain patters on different metals, aluminums and puddles in an urban alley. Thunder claps are paired with flashes of lightning that, for one second each, show the contents of the alley. The first lightning strike shows an alley empty of sentient life.

The Looming Winter of Discontent and Why A Crisis By Christmas is Possible
The world is hurtling towards a “crisis by Christmas”! Right from the Financial Fights over the Debt Ceiling in the United States and the Looming “implosion” of the Chinese Economy, to the burgeoning Global Energy Shock, and the all present threat of shortages in the UK and of gas in Europe, there are no dearth of “triggers” that can have a cascading effect on the world. Indeed, with such a Perfect Storm of converging crises, we can expect some sort of catalyzing event around the End of the Year, from which only a Divine Intervention can save us.

Plug and Play
In 1984 Apple Computers released this commercial as an homage to George Orwell’s classic dystopian novel. Playing out semiotically graven images of oppression and control with drab, grey imagery of men marching to their “indoctrination”, who are given a way to freedom in the form of an Olympic athlete casting a sledgehammer into a television screen. While Anya Major from England was running down the aisle between rows of drab men gaping at the screen in a pair of orange shorts, the color of her shorts stood out in contrast against a sea of grey, mesmerized faces. This brief commercial was directed by Ridley Scott, five years after directing the science fiction classic "Alien" and just two years later than the release of "Blade Runner." At the pinnacle of his career.

How the Universe will end?
The universe started roughly 14 billion years ago from an infinitesimally small and dense point. This event is known as the Big Bang. How do I know this? Well, we have evidence to support this. It is amazing that we have progressed so much that we understand the universe pretty well and have clever ways to do so. For example, when we came to know about the expansion of the universe we thought of the past and then the beginning part became clear. Not completely, but we have to admit that we do understand it well-nigh.

Dago knows what's going on. He acts like he's just an ordinary theropod but he isn't. I know he isn't because, I'm not. Who am I? I'm Dago's son, Trego, but... he doesn't know that.

More Beautiful is the Future
It was supposed to be a weekend assignment. Go, review, write, return. No more than three days of time… then back to Santiago and drink on the company dime. The assignment was a village in the hills of northern Chile in what was once mining country.

Like fleas on a dog...
When things got heated in Europe and the Middle East over borders and such, everyone speculated about world war 3. It never happened though. When the pandemic of 2020 came and killed thousands, people thought this might be the thing that kills us all off, especially with variant after variant popping up. We got through it. But all the while things were at work. Natural disasters, fires, earth quakes, people blamed it on global warming. There were a few science fiction writers who saw it coming but didn’t actually think it was true. Fantasy they said, not actual truth. The Earth is trying to renew herself, some said. Well, the truth is she was trying to in a way. You see, it turns out we are the flea on her back and she is so frustrated with the havoc we have caused she is trying to shake us off, anyway she can. Fires and volcanos like fever fighting an infection. Earthquakes and magnetic polar shifts caused by Earth trying to shake us, scratch us off like a dog rolling and scratching to remove the cause of an awful itch. Viruses released like flea powder to kill us off. What’s next, a flea dip? Or, dare I ask, is there something worse?
