@coastal_jelly Ah, I see! Years ago, I read Frank Waters' "Book of the Hopi" -- I should read it again and look into Hopi prophesies! Thank you for sharing with the wonderful series of toots! ๐๐๐

What would a genuinely futuristic transportation system look like? The possibilities extend far beyond roadways and railways as we know them.

When the Earth 'births' its core (expelling it from the Weddel Sea) the planet will become immensly lighter. The pull from the sun will take the Earth into a completely new orbit, close to where Venus is now.
The Earth, in a new form, in a new orbit will still be our home. We will complete our evolution at this time and take on our final form.
Our ultimate ending takes place as Earth falls into the sun. A long long time from now.
@coastal_jelly This is beautiful! Amazing synchronicity too -- just today, we accepted a story which mentions the sun going supernova! ๐๐โ๏ธ๐ฅ
@yuki Yep, the same!! That's definitely a must-read! All hail the Allied Mastercomputer! What an ending!
"...You might think you know your sci-fi history, but have you ever seen 'The Starlost'? The 'creator' of the show was the famous (or infamous) science fiction writer Harlan Ellison. By 1973, Ellison was a well-known firebrand in the SFF lit community but was already making a bigger reputation as the kind of writer who would frequently get into huge dust-ups with people who ran sci-fi TV shows."

The pentagram glowed, and the demon appeared.
"Hi, what can I get you?"
The demon handed over a list.
"Mhm, uh-huh, cool. I've got this."
"Um," said the demon, "are you sure this is..."
"What?"
"They summon me to learn forbidden knowledge."
"And they'll get it. I am a librarian."

"In that city nothing was more ordinary than death. But the authorities still functioned, and while the authorities functioned, the city stood..." They didnโt care about "us," they only cared about โP for Populationโ which could be acceptably sacrificed or even eradicated...

Randomly decided to look at the Beksinski website today and found this piece titled Quarantine. One of my favorite artists. Also seems to be a bunch of things I've never seen on there before. Wish I could go to visit the museum in Poland.

@eli_arts This is fantastic โ amazing use of light and shadow, and on the technical side, you use beautiful shading techniques! Solid work! PS: Tolkien was a genius! ๐โ๏ธ
@lapis It's true, I actually have those Star Trek books on my shelf! ๐

Thought-provoking book that sheds light on the emerging field of paleogenetics which is exposing the human past by trying to trace patterns of human/hominid migrations in deep history.
