Hi everyone! I have a question. My story got accepted to Dark Horses magazine (https://darkhorsesmagazine.mystrikingly.com) , but it's not a publication I'm very familiar with, and I'm not sure if I should publish there. Does anyone know this magazine? Does anyone read that magazine?
Around binary stars, the planets' movement should be hard to find the rule, how will scientists of such civilizations discover Law of universal gravitation?maybe they will first discover the Coulomb's law and generalize this to the gravity? but in order to calculate the exact orbit of planets around binary stars, they need computer
Disclaimer Legitimate Government Whistleblower Testimony from a High School student that was removed from the High School in Saskatchewan due to a social media post that was published on December 7, 2021 and The RCMP were called to Father Porte Memorial Denesuline School in Black Lake at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning after a suspected threat was made towards the school. The RCMP stated that the school's lockdown protocol was initiated during the investigation, but was lifted once it was determined that there was no credible threat. According to CTV News, Gerry, the director of the Athabasca Denesuline Education Authority, was made aware of the social media post by a High School student from the school. The RCMP were notified due to the threatening nature of the post. The student, who was later identified as an experimental subject, who did not have a weapon in their possession when he was removed from the school by the RCMP. he was involuntary admitted to a mental health facility. However, it was later discovered that the social media post was about exposing the MK Ultra experimental technology known as "Voice of God." This technology is disguised as 5G cell towers, which are present all over the world. The student was being told disturbing secrets through synthetic telepathy by the "Voice of God." weaponry and the parents of the student were notified of the incident through a Facebook post and were also instructed to pick up their children from the school due to a heating system failure. according to Gerry, this was the official news report, but no one questioned the possibility of a government cover up. The RCMP stated that the investigation is ongoing, but in reality, the Black Lake RCMP, also known as Section F, were covering their tracks in regards to their activities involving mind control and mass surveillance programs. The student, who had discovered classified information, was eventually framed and monitored 24/7 for exposing this information. It was later revealed that the student was secretly an alien abductee and had been trained as an extraterrestrial sleeper agent. Their subconscious and conscious mind were different, similar to Jason Bourne. The student had also discovered more about the training bases in the forests and was handpicked for the mission of exposing the secrets of the Corrupt RCMP Spy Facility in Black Lake SK without conflict. the student successfully completed the mission within 4 years. As a result, the world slowly began to awaken to the reality of the sub-projects of MK Delta, known as the Sleeper Agent program. which is a project from the research of the CIA. The technology used in the projects also extends to dream manipulation, which can generate simulations in dreams and this is known as Project Artichoke, which is run by DARPA. his military skillset were recognized by the CIA and Operation Spellbinder are only known to a few individuals and was given the Non Official Cover or NOC from the CIA
Looking for some good stories to rock my world... new stories preferred...
I think 20-35 years ago I watched a space-based thriller that I want to watch again. Problem is I remember so little detail and (obviously) not the name at all. Any help? Here are some details:
It is not Sphere, not Event Horizon, not any Star Wars or Trek, not 2001 Space Odyssey, none of the Alien/Aliens series, definitely not a space comedy like Space Balls etc.
It was not within the last 15 years.
It was outer space, not underwater.
I believe some spherical (inside, at least) very large ship or object was found in outer space. A door/entry was located and two (three?) individuals went inside. The inside was cavernous and spherical in shape. There was at least a path, if not stairs, leading from the door down the inside of the.....thing. Far below was a or some single level buildings that the men walked down to check out. I forget what happened once down there but it became of high interest to get back up to the door and out. And that's it. I don't remember any of the movie.
Does this sound even remotely familiar to anyone?
Tons of satellites are down, the ISS and Tiangong is down. Multiple astronauts dead. That would be a huge impact on not only space travel but also the world.
Remember that scene in Aliens (1986) where Ripley woke up in the middle of the night and called Burke, Carter J. This was before she went back to LV-426 with the Marines. She had a nightmare, and then called Burke by placing his business card into a card slot on a VDT next to her bed. It automatically began a video call between them.
I know this is totally weird, but I really wish this type of calling technology had become a reality. I just had to say it… I’ve been waiting years to say it lol
Can someone explain to me how politics work in the movie? Does the government of Elysium control all earth governments as they are able to shut down the air space of entire states like Los Angeles like there is no government in the US functioning anymore it seems ? Also it seems that some people in Elysium aren't billionaires but just politicians but they don't seem to be ultra wealthy like the president and the CCB agents.
are there any episodes form any of the series or books, that deal with the economic impact and following societal changes that the invention of replicators/the end of scarcity played in making the federation a utopia?
I find it really hard to get through M. Brawne Lamia’s story. It’s just a little boring to me, I’m a really slow reader in general but I feel like it’s taking me forever on her story. The other pilgrims stories so far have been a wild ride. Did anyone else feel the way I do? Or is it just me?

After the Tesla robotaxi ad incident involving Bladerunner 2049, I thought: 'Why would you want to evoke a dystopia to sell your product?'
Do many of us wilfully or unconsciously want to live in a Bladerunner-style future, in which the Earth's ecology is wrecked?
Is this kind of dystopia a 'hyperstition'; a fiction which makes itself real because so many of us are influenced by science fiction ideas?
So i'm looking for some more sci-fi books becuase I loved Dune, Red Rising, Suneater, Expanse, etc. But all I have on ky tbr now is just fantasy. Any good big space opera book series?
