fact or fiction
Is it science fact or science fiction? Futurism presents both sides to determine the truth.
The Parallel Universe Theory
Around 13.8 billion years ago, our Universe began with a Big Bang. The convergence and eventual collision of matter and anti-matter created a powerful explosion, known as the Big Bang. Scientists have a theory that for this to happen, there had to be something that brings about the process of inflation. Once inflation begins, not just one explosion, but many explosions will happen, at different places, during different times, for all of eternity. This is what scientists call 'Cosmological Inflation'.

What is a Warlock?
If you ask people what a warlock is, you're going to get a variety of answers depending on who you direct the question towards. Some people will tell you it's a man in league with the devil, who exchanged his immortal soul for fell powers. Some might say it's an old term for a liar, or a promise-breaker. Gamers will say it's a sweet spell-casting class in systems like Dungeons and Dragons, and Wiccans may explain that it's a term applied to people who practice a destructive form of new age, neo-pagan faith.

What is a Sorcerer?
When you think of a sorcerer, what images come to mind? A man in a long robe, perhaps, waving a wand or making arcane gestures with his hands? A woman tossing bones, or gazing into a fire, foretelling events she could not possibly know of? Getting close?

The Twisted True Story of the Witch Who Made Headlines.
Some stories are just bizarre. But there's nothing I love more than a good ole fashioned Witch story. Maybe it's the Nigerian in me that loved hearing such stories growing up, or my love for series like Merlin, Legend of The Seeker, Supernatural, etc.

ALCHEMY: ONE PAIN, NO GAIN | Part 2
As early as 296, Diocletian, the Roman Emperor banned the practice of alchemy and tore down any related document. By 1317, Pope John XXII declared alchemy illegal and imposed strict punishments on gold transmutation intention. Until the 1500s, even France's Charles V and England's Henry IV outlawed alchemy practice of any form, levying a death penalty on those who violated this.

Freaky Fact or Fiction: The Traveller From Taured
There are a lot of theories out there surrounding things like time travel and parallel universes and although some are convincing, there is little proof to absolutely prove or disprove the existence of either.

One ordinary evening during the week, Brock yawned. He was tired. The babysitter, Jenna from next door, put him to sleep. Mommy and daddy were both at work. They're a pilot and stewardess at a major airline. Before going to bed, Jenna read a story about bears and space travel. Right now Brock's eyes were tangled with sleep. So Jenna turned off the lights and went into the living room to watch TV.

Is COVID-19 the Beginning of the End?
To witness the end of the world would be an amazing thing! I know it sounds horrible to actually witness mass destruction and seeing the demise of mankind, but to witness such an event would be the most astonishing thing to see!
