Science Fiction

Wai Chee Dimock writes in Through Other Continents: American Literature Across Deep Time (2006) that “deep time [is] a set of longitudinal frames, at once projective and recessional … binding continents and millennia into many loops and relations, a densely interactive fabric.” (4) In his short science fiction tales, Edgar Allan Poe explores intricate representations of temporal heterogeneity that defy rigid, “rational” time, instead collapsing enormous swaths of time into subjective scales that “loop and relate” in complex ways. Poe demonstrates an anxiety about how deep time impacts the perception of the life of the individual and American nationhood in general—as demonstrated in works such as “The Island of the Fay” and “Mellonta Tauta,” an anxiety over the transitory and relatively insignificant lifespans of individuals and nations in the context of an awesome and impartial universe. However, Poe also describes the passage of time as external and irrelevant to experience, as decades and even centuries can be enfolded into a single object or emotion: a ship, “imbued with the spirit of Eld,” or the terrified narrator trapped in “eternal night,” as in “MS. Found in a Bottle.” Through close readings of “A Tale of the Ragged Mountains” and “Some Words with a Mummy,” this paper concludes that death and decay ultimately represent liminal stages in Poe’s science fiction, and that Poe’s indistinct, philosophically-grounded notion of soul or spirit transcend the material body.

EXOSKELETONS AND THE CYBERPUNK MOVEMENT
HOW SCIENCE FICTION WELDS MAN AND MACHINE INTO ITS IMAGINATIVE WORLD

Science fiction in literature and movies has questioned ever since the beginning of its history the ambivalent, if not ambiguous relationship that man has woven into his own inventions – hence the man-machine relationship has become a core issue in science fiction as it intricately projects its imaginative world within this frame. Amid a teeming and ever-growing technological environment, it appears relevant to question the nature of machines and try to delineate the fundamental differences there are between exoskeletons, computers, man-machines which science fiction has identified as androids (synthetic beings) or cyborgs (hybrid beings).
The machine takes the shape of an exoskeleton in science fiction: E.E Smith’s Galactic Patrol in 1937, Heinlein’s Starship troopers in 1959, Stan Lee’s Iron Man in 1963 and Alien in 1981. The machine seems like an extension, an additional limb that plugs into a human being. Despite its artificiality, the exoskeleton is favourably considered. It looks simple and surrenders immediately to the will of its user even though the imaginative world of transcorporeality has deeply redefined the hybrid blending between man and this mechanical protraction (Robocop in 1987, Mamaru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell in 1995, Ayerdhal and Jean-Claude Dunyach’s Étoiles mourantes in 1999). However, the exoskeleton in science fiction is also likened to a complex machine, an articulated system with an internal movement comparable to a living body. This latter characteristic draws it away from the machine tool concept. Its operating principle, its source of energy, its potential autonomy eventually hold some of the mystery that bears upon the human observer living in its vicinity. The machine becomes a metaphor, which the imagination considers as a living being that needs to be mastered. Science fiction enables this fact stemming from our reality, to be transformed. Indeed the machine is seemingly able to turn into a living being or to become involved with that which is alive; the cyberpunk movement has extensively explored the man-machine relationship, which comes in a variety of forms: prosthetic hybridity, man/computer integrated connection, nanotechnological mutation, cyborg creativity that blends organic and synthetic components together.  One keeps wondering about this wide array of variations and how they question the concept of post-humanity: could the machine possibly be at the root of this human evolution?

In Michel Jeury’s narratives, time travel is done by way of the psychic universe. The depiction of this mentalized time is influenced by quantum physics, which undermines time and thus, corrupts the narration. These processes come with the denunciation of totalitarian systems while questioning historical time. The latter translates into a particular stylistic use of colours, which also takes a political meaning. This poetics is coupled with the utopian dimension of Jeury’s work, a quest for “subjective eternity”.

Ship's Log

We first thought that the bipeds north of the ship produced no artefacts.
We later discovered however, a series of repetitive scratches on a collection of bones scattered around their habitat, that appeared to suggest the beginnings of a form of primitive symbolism.
Sadly though, we have now spent many years since the mission attempting to ascertain any meaning within the incisions, but as of yet have been unable to discern any semiotic logic, other than a seemingly orgiastic desire to mark the world
in some crude manner.

The Significant Numbers: 666 and its Scientific, Astronomical & Astro-Bio-Security ApplicationThe Geo-Centric Earth, the cantilever and time inertia  of 24 hours revolution but gravity suspended at day light or sunrise which is 12 hours relented; at night or nightfall which is 12 hours also and so on revolving until the Time Keeper Pulls the Plug when the expanding galaxies reverses thrust.

How to calculate 666 into the Cosmos order to regulate time, solar cycles and lunar cycles ,maintain the frequency vectors of energy(Tupou Lahi 144) of the Universe and Pulse of the Earth. Simply to start with the basics of twenty-four hours to a complete rotation but the solar cycle (earth revolving) should be read as 24 ÷ 360 = 0.0666666666666667.

The application of the Royal Tongan Masonry and Carpentry Counting System-(Loa or Lo’au or Ha’a Tufunga Hao), multiplication rather is the applied method of starting from 10,100,1000,10000 to 100000.
The same result found with 100000, which will be the peak of the multiplication system, will be applied to the Lunar Cycle, which will read as 6666.6666666667.  Converted to hours your result will be 27.75 days rounded off to 28 days which will be 13 lunar cycles per year (364 days) or 52 weeks. Any excess days just keep for later which will be  applied at the End of Time.
