Time Travel: Some Say Impossible, but is it? Part 2 - News - Bubblews - 1 views

  •  
    In part 1 of this series, published here at Bubblews, www.bubblews.com/news/454618-time-travel-some-say-impossible-but-is-it-part-1 we introduced this debate, and discussed how as a consequence of Professor Einstein's Relativity Theory, approaching the speed of light creates the phenomenon of time dilation, which is effectively time travel forward into the future at an accelerated rate. This kind of forward time travel is however theoretically a one way trip, without any opportunity to return from that future to your originating "present time". We also dealt with the first, (weakest), of the major arguments used by time travel detractors to justify their unproven stand that time travel into the past is impossible. Here in part 2 we will move on to talking about another much stronger issue; the so-called paradox problem, often employed by those who declare backward time travel impossible. At first glance, this argument appears quite sound, but to really examine any subject properly one must do more than just glance at it.

The Don'ts in Writing a Science Fiction Novel - Joab Stieglitz - 0 views

  •  
    both heaven and hell to readers. Knowing that most of the events in the novels are inspired by the technological advancements from the past to the future, readers will never look at the novels the same way. Furthermore, the weight of a story becomes heavier when the scientific facts start to appear in the pages. This makes the readers feel more connected to the story because there are many fragments of science in it. Some great examples of science fiction novels are 1984 by George Orwell, After the Battle: Kelley's Story by S. Stieglitz, The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin, The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, and Divergent by Veronica Roth. If you have wanted to write one, here are the tips on what aspects to avoid incorporating in your work.

The Traveler: Outer Space Experience - Author W. Scott Harral - 1 views

  •  
    The further you travel into outer space, the more you realize our most important relationships are down here on Earth. Astronauts have always looked back on their homeworld. They see the world as a fragile blue marble floating in the blackness of space when seen from the Moon. Astronauts can see the world with their own eyes flip through the pages of the book Story of astronauts living on the Moon, which holds all the people they love. That connection provides a sense of stability and reassurance that they will return after their mission.

10 Best Written Video Games - 0 views

  •  
    No matter the form of media, good writing can be admired like good cooking. A suspenseful intro hook thrown in to simmer with an intriguing storyline, seasoned by a logical plot, as well as a satisfying ending is as much akin to a meal as I can think of. I believe it was Ray Bradbury who said something along the lines of "every story has but one (proper) ending," and I found this quote to be more and more relevant throughout writing this list. In this list we will be examining some of the best written games whose aspects- in terms of writing- are very well-rounded. Good endings require an amazing setup, like propping up dominoes only to watch them fall elegantly and haphazardly into place. So please enjoy this list, gamer or not, because everyone enjoys when dominoes drop (i.e. the climax).

Time Travel: Some Say Impossible, but is it? Part 1 - News - Bubblews - 0 views

  •  
    I recently came upon a post exploring the possibility of Time Travel. In that post the writer, ( my friend &tarunandlaxmi ) pointed out that most conventional scientists of our day think backward time travel, or traveling into the past is an impossibility. However, according to Relativity Theory skipping into the future should be quite possible, given the ability to attain great speeds approaching but not quite reaching the speed of light. We aren't that fast yet, but if we should live long enough, and attain sufficient technological advancement, relativistic speeds are within our grasp. When that day comes, the principles of time dilation will make future time travel very possible. However, by that method, it is a one way trip. There would be no way to come back with that particular technological approach. But we are still left with the question; is it possible to travel back to the past, by some other technological method?
