Fiction is Future

More than a few science fiction stories, considered outlandish when written, are where future physical science ideas were born. The first science fiction story, the very first science fiction story, told about going to the moon appeared from the unseen in the mid 1600s. 

It was written as an amusement by Cyrano de Bergerac and he was credited by Arthur C. Clarke for using the first idea for a ramjet engine. This is how the unknown unseen morphs into the recognizable seen. 

     Once  existing still everything keeps changing. The jet into, very possibly in  my view, into unlimited electro magnetic energy drawn from the mass of the planet itself.  After that? Do not under estimate Scotty. Everyone's imagination is as wild as anyone else's. (See Today's Photo)

Perception and Permanence

Time may be entirely perception. Watched pots do not boil. Hold your hand over the fire. Waking up after falling into a deep sleep. We are all going to die, but not right now. Time is distant

between fifteen and 15 1/2. Don't trust anyone over thirty. What happened to forty? Time only exists in a comparative state which means it cannot exist in a individual relationship. 

Cheaper and safer....

 Why should we go to Mars? We can send automatic machines to report back via videos and make tests while sending the results back to earth. Here we sit in relative safety, no threats to our health, no complications relating to bodily functions. Cheaper and safer, and even quicker,
like I said.

A great mystery lies ahead.....

Further from Far

Many writing their headstones, I have seen more often of late, is their amazement life is over so quickly. A doctor told me a long time ago that if I did not lower my blood pressure, I would have a stroke or a heart   attack within four years. I asked, "What if I control it?" He told me in that event, I could live ten years before I had a stroke or heart attack. He was 40, but  a short ten years to me was merely one little decade. I have to labor to remember any of them. He, on the other hand, obviously thought ten years was a long time. 

At least fifteen years now, and no strokes or heart attacks yet. My advice to all doctors is to not make any predictions, because everyone only remembers the ones that are wrong. I, on the other hand, perhaps should not have even mentioned this at all. One never can tell when a superstition will rear its ugly head.

Power of Optimism in the Future Mystery

It is better to be as optimistic as  one can over the long haul. This applies, in my view, to virtually every human endeavor we can think  of, especially in the stock market as well as the  general pursuit of happiness in this life. The   future beyond us holds great promise if we think about it. Think how the universe is opening up to our understanding, and even just technically, to our view. There is more to everything than those behind us ever could imagine unless they trusted existence, the fountainhead spirit of existence, God.

If one takes it then they've got it!

 It is good to remind myself occasionally that if I understood all  it would be easy to forgive all. It is good to forgive. It benefits the forgiver rather than the forgiven. I try to be geared up for the

positive. Any benefit to the forgiven is entirely up to the forgiven. It is their acceptance. Only the forgiven can be in charge of acceptance. In any case, it is never profitable to take an offense. Only offensive people take offenses, who else would accept offenses except an offensive person?

One Plus One Equals One

 I have a respectful attitude when looking back at the ancients. It is doubtful extra terrestrials are so much smarter and I also find it very iffy that even if they are, they would be benevolent. I say this because groups see each other as anything other than suspiciously competitive, even if benevolent. If the present day intellectuals cannot figure out how the Romans could build the Coliseum without electricity they should assume the more likely course and ignore the pop concept of extra terrestrials.

"Electricity" by the way no one today knows that much about it except what they can see in front of them. After a time, by accident, it was discovered how the Romans did do it after all. The builder left behind a picture relief in a book, found in a Londinium library abandoned in the 5th century.  So they did it by themselves? And the ancients did it without pyramids in the background. Even the Red Sea parting has an very logical explanation. And cities did suddenly disappear into the sea. Even myself, I suspected my own grandfather was wrong about our family history when he was in fact right, and I could go on, only extreme embarrassment slows me to a pause. So where am I going?

Before writing was established the thinking today is that knowledge was past down by word of mouth, memorized. God looked down and observed that man could do anything he had a mind to do. Since there were no rockets to the sky, "we" were building buildings to the sky instead, no so different than today.. They were intricate even then and a marvel having to do with, I believe, water dispensed by gravity, altho I don't see how. But who would believe this story? This justified the different languages. Is that all it did? Not so wild an idea, this business of building into the sky. How about a man walking on the moon? Some today do not believe such a stunt. So this contrasted idea came to me and I find it fascinating and leading to possible further reliable revelations from the Great Predictor.  (More coming in the Specific Theory.)

Pay less attention to what is said....*

....and greater attention to the motive. Everyone speaks for their own benefit.  One more thing we should all know already. In my case it is true and said so I don't forget it. (It's an age thing.)
