POPSThe End Of The Language Barrier !!?? from the article: This is an ambitious prediction, I know, but all of the prerequisites needed for this to happen now exist. The language barrier will not be broken by a single dramatic advance, but by many simple processes that, when combined, will enable ideas to jump easily across cultures.

POPSStanley Kubrick's files -New archives reveal the film-maker's public and private worlds "... My main interest lies along these broad areas naturally assuming great plot and character. 1. The reasons for believing in the existence of intelligent extra-terrestrial life. 2. The impact (and perhaps even lack on impact in some quarters) such discovery would have on earth in the near future. 3. A space probe with a landing and exploration of the Moon and Mars. Would you consider coming sooner with a view to a meeting, the purpose of which would be to determine whether an idea might exist or arise which could sufficiently interest both of us enough to want to collaborate on a screenplay?”

POPSmotivational quotes: some nice Quotes here sometime, we are too tired to try one more time, beaten up by circumstances and getting disheartened...we need Voltaire, Robert Frost, Aristotle and others to push us up a bit further... it's ok to fall if you are willing to get up once again!

POPSThe View From 2500 A.D. beyond that--perhaps the creation of a single super-entity might send a telepathic signal to the stars, announcing that Planet Earth is at last ready to join the Galactic Community. Welcome, Entity!

POPSTop 100 Sci-Fi Short Stories. When I see a list. I know what is on the list is going to depend on who is making the list. There are some predictable ratings, but there are generally surprises. When looking at Sci-Fi fiction lists, it continues to be amazing that there are so many authors writing who were hardly recognized, but produced high quality work. Short stories are great because they can be read without like seeming like a project. They are also good for training our minds to read epics.(I've just clipped the two ends of the list.)

POPS"To create visions of the future people can believe in" The most interesting part is: "The best science fiction, as with all great art, doesn't just reflect the world but seeks to influence it." For that one needs a clear description of what should be. A sight that can take the present closer to the desired future.

POPSThe Late Great Arthur C Clarke dies at 90 he was a legend everything wouldn't fit in the clip "Sometimes I am asked how I would like to be remembered," he recalled recently. "I have had a diverse career as a writer, underwater explorer and space promoter. Of all these, I would like to be remembered as a writer." A statement from Sir Arthur's office said he had recently reviewed the final manuscript of his latest novel. The Last Theorem, co-written with Frederik Pohl, will be published later this year, it said. I look forward to continue reading his works he lives on through his work he will finally find out what lies beyond earth life

POPSInventor of Water Powered Dune Buggy Murdered He was poisoned March 1998..He died in the parking lot of a restaurant in his home town of Grove City, Ohio. Sharks came a week later and stole the the dune buggy and all of his experimental equipment.. He had patents on his invention and was ready for production. Only $1,500 to equip your car! See the Videos above. No gasoline, just water. Stanley said he was offered a billion dollars from an Arab to basically shelf his idea. So what is happening with Stan's Great Invention of the 20th Century!! Absolutely nothing. Are they manufacturing his invention. NO, Why not? because it would solve all the world's problems today. All they talk about is hydrogen gas stations run by Shell and a Canadian Oil Firm. Then they talk all about "hydrogen fuel cells" which take a lifetime of gas burned just to make one fuel cell. A hydrogen fuel cell factory is a real SMOG factory..-- EXCERPTS FROM THE WEB PAGE
