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

Circadian Rhythms in the Cold
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I had screamed for a little bit, but then that had stopped. My frantic breathing slipped into quiet sips of oxygen. I was cold, so cold. Still scattered around me, I saw the wreckage of Gaia, the ship that had been my home since I was an embryo in its lab. I had never known anything else. Three thousand of my siblings bore the same face as mine, the same eyes, same reserved smile and all had shared Gaia with me. Gaia was an oasis in the emptiness of the universe, a ship that had raised us, sheltered us and fed us. Gaia was our garden. Gaia was home.

Arcosanti
Driving through the desert of central Arizona, I came across a rather futuristic-looking structure. From the road, it looks like a habitat on Mars. Upon closer inspection, the ultramodern structures are part of an urban experiment– in arcology, the blending of architecture with ecology.

The Eyes of Eternity
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Not that I’ve ever had the joy of trying, for I’ve never— not for the last million years— heard a scream within atmospheric bounds either. For my fellow lifelings and I stopped screaming years ago, for screams are a sign of fear, and fear was eradicated back in far distant millennia. Fear was the first of all feelings, established in our primeval minds upon some primordial stone, and therefore first to go. But tears remained, and flourished. So yes, I have heard men cry, in that void of infinite expanse, swept with agony and despondence at the loneliness of such an empty spread of time.

The Curse of Immortality
How did I get here? Somewhere in a seemingly infinite dark void of what use to be space. I asked for this; I wanted this. Or at least I thought I did. But just like my first time volunteering for combat, I had no idea what I was in for. I thought about it constantly for the decade the process was underway. I thought I understood the risks, I thought I understood the concept of time. Years of injections to prepare my body for the procedure. All the warnings of different scenarios, like being trapped at the bottom of the ocean for eternity. Well, that is ridiculous because no ocean is eternal. But I should have headed the warning a little more cautiously.

Missing our pets
I went to pick up Ethan finally the happiest thing in my day . Everytime I drop him off one of two things happen. I cry or get angry. With that being my best friend . I just always miss his presence. I miss his smile and his laugh . I miss his sassy attitude and the way he has a mole on his ear. His smile brings me joy . His life is the biggest blessing I’ve ever been given . Having him was one defining moment in my faith of god. It was the first time I looked at someone and my soul felt so happy . My estaticism is never low with him . I love him . He is such a big hearted person and I never met someone with as big a heart as he has . The holding from his little fingers. The joy when he says my name . My heart is overwhelming happy to be called his mom .

Going Green Energy
Introduction Have you at any point contemplated introducing sunlight-based chargers on your rooftop? Whether you're searching for an eco-accommodating method for creating energy or simply need to establish a connection at the local neighborhood blowout, sun-based power is an incredible choice. While it might require investment and work to take care of business pro,perly, whenever it's finished and working, it will merit each penny. In this article, we'll examine all that from picking boards to how they work!

Inhuman
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That is why they had built the Human Abattoir Space Station, HASS. The five kilometre wide rotating disc of titanium, Kevlar and high grade steel, orbiting the earth. At the focus of the disc was the singularity, which was encased in the gravitational suppressor, a five hundred metre deep layer of Osmium. The Osmium reduced the strength of the singularity’s gravitational pull to close to that of Earth’s. The Osmium allowed the residents to ambulate the perimeter of the disc and maintain their muscularity, rather that atrophying in zero gravity. The residents speculated on the origin of the singularity, its purpose, and what would happen if you ever approached it. Many fantasised that it connected their universe to one that housed the so called ‘New Moon’ - a planet habitable to humans, teaming with plant-life unscoured by the evil of man. James was under no illusion that the singularity would atomise you before you got the chance to even perceive it. Despite the complex engineering of the osmium layer, the remainder of the living quarters, or cells, were rudimentary at best. The cells were a tessalation of hexagons, two metres wide, with a single mattress, sink and toilet. The tessalate housed over one-hundred-thousand residents. The female and male cells were separated by a militarised zone. There was a training field one hundred metres wide, where the residents spent the entirety of their free time. The slaughter-room’s location was unknown, but its existence definite. The screams were a constant reminder of that. The men knew the date that they would walk to the slaughter-room - on their eighteenth birthday. For women it would be after their third child.

The People’s Manifesto
The Peoples’ Manifesto: A Unified Defiance L.J. NUTTALL I am writing this manifesto in the hope someone with a bit of power and influence may read this, and just by chance maybe, save humanity. I am deeply concerned for the future. When I look upon our dystopian present, I cannot help but see the treacherous path ahead. A terrifying, uncertain path which is divided, cracked, and is quickly falling apart. Our planet is dying, our systems are broken, and our government is blatantly corrupt. We all live under their iron sky of greed, lies and deceit. Forced to comply with a system that robs us of our very being. The Tories are thieves of our time and money. I am not proclaiming to be an expert but after studying the discipline of International Relations and European Politics. I want to present to you, the reader, plausible and achievable solutions to our current problems.

Receivers
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Thank God for the written word, I guess. What is it they say? “It’s harder to silence a pen than a sniper rifle”? Yes, I know that’s not actually it. I just needed a better hook than that lame pen vs sword thing. Oh shit, there I go, my mind getting way off course. This thought to text technology is still so difficult for me, as a person whose mind always seems to be going a million miles a minute. Fuck, I’m doing it again… Ok, let’s start over.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Nobody can see a dream in the absence of grace, that’s why we pray.
