fact or fiction
Is it science fact or science fiction? Futurism presents both sides to determine the truth.
Could Planet Earth be Hollow?
We have long been aware that there are people around who think that the Earth is flat, but did you know that there are also believers in the apparent fact that the Earth is hollow? The idea is that other worlds exist within the shell that we all know about and various theories have arisen as to the nature of these worlds.

The Krampus Mindset And Ideas to Share
You are teaching hypnosis and the concept of reality often comes up. What isn't often shared is the implications of accepting one model of reality over another to live one's life by. Does the premise of our reality being imparted through our communication affecting the clients that are attracted to us? I think so. I believe those clients also bring with them specific relational beliefs that communicates how they construct reality in different contexts. This takes us into the rabbit hole of what is objective reality? Objective reality means that reality exists independent of our minds. The description "objective" doesn't make a lot of sense on its own, but it does when grounded in the theoretical relationship between consciousness and existence.

Terminating the Time Travel Veracity of 'The Terminator'
The latest offering from the Terminator franchise is just about to bow October 31st. It was the first Terminator sequel—Terminator 2: Judgement Day that got me interested in looking at the viability of time travel—back in the early 90s. I determined then that the only solution for a viable model for time travel to the past would be in fact, parallel universes. This is prior to my even knowing that there was a scientific construct for such things. I was a shear novice at the time, merely speculating on a problem that I saw needed solving. Now, I'm a temporal mechanic, someone who studies the physical nature of time, as well as the discoverer of the proof parallel universes, as described by the Everett Relative State Interpretation of quantum physics. So I'm going to take this opportunity to deal with the time travel issues that have been inherent in the Terminator franchise, since it eventually became the reason that I started to research time travel science and parallel universes.

The Beginning to a Novel I Will Never Find the Time to Write
I have never been outside… Never felt the amber rays of a falling sun drown my skin in warmth, or awoken to a blanket of mist silently resting over rolling fields… From what I have read, it has become increasingly apparent to me that Spring sounds like the richest and most beautiful time of year. Dickens speaks of March as the only month where the “sun shines hot and the wind blows cold." Only through novels, poetry, and words can I somewhat understand what home once was. What home could be again.

10 Shocking Mandela Effects *Must Read*
For years, I believed that my childhood was nothing short of a poetic fairy-tale. Growing up, I had most of what I wanted and everything that I needed. It wasn't always magical, but it was great to know that regardless of the ungrateful attitude I carried as a little shit, my mom still took really good care of me. If I were her I would have definitely slid me back to God immediately. However, she fell in love, and here I am. Being a kid was hard at times, but there were many times I made great memories.

This Will Ruin Your Childhood Forever - This Will Ruin YOU
Skip to 8:00 in the video and you will be both disturbed and fascinated... So I was talking to my friends the other day and someone asked me what I thought of the Mandela Effect—not knowing what he was talking about, I told him to elaborate.

The Mandala Effect
**THIS IS SIMPLY A THEORY, NOT MEANT TO DEFAME OR INSULT ANY COMPANIES, PEOPLE, COUNTRIES, AND ANY OTHER PARTIES** The Mandala Effect's name comes from Nelson Mandala, who some people incorrectly remember him passing away in prison, but he didn't actually die until he was released and died later on. The Mandala Effect basically means remembering something being one way but instead it's the other way around. Here's a few examples that we can dive into:

The Moon Landing Conspiracy Theory
**THIS IS SIMPLY A THEORY, NOT MEANT TO DEFAME OR INSULT ANY COMPANIES, PEOPLE, COUNTRIES, AND ANY OTHER PARTIES** The moon landing was widely debated and still is to this day; was it real or was it simply a hoax? I do have my beliefs when it comes to this, but I'll get to that later.

The Implausibility of Popular Sci-Fi Aliens - Part Three
Communicating and interacting in any meaningful way with a truly alien species might prove extremely difficult, and perhaps impossible. In this concluding part of the trilogy, we will investigate some of the truly alien species and civilisations depicted in less mainstream sci-fi, and discuss the difficulties we might have communicating and interacting with them.

See anything wrong with the above quote? Well, of course you don't, it's one of the most iconic pop culture references ever. For decades, people have been quoting this scene from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes back, but have they been quoting it wrong?
