I wanted to know if there really is light at the end of the tunnel. Science, religion, philosophy failed to give me a simple answer. Yes or no. That's all I wanted to know. So I convinced some idio…rich guys to finance my project. I brought together the finest minds on earth, and we built the machine. It opened the universe, and I went into the tunnel. My answer was a rotund "yes". But, the light is coming. Like an unstoppable train, coming towards m…oh, crap… #WritingPrompt
Write a single toot reply #SciFi story about this image.
Today we're looking at one more image from @papernoise, an actual human artist! Probably back to AI stuff tomorrow, unless I can find another human artist who will let me use their image. Suggestions appreciated.

Guarded by two bouncers with ouchie sticks, club^3 is the most exclusive place to mingle with beings from other dimensions while you excessively drink to overcome your inhibitions about tentacles & things.
Tired of trying to hit on something over the sound of loud music in other clubs?
Listen to every song in the universe at the same time with our transcendental track list through state of the art speakers that transmit the data directly into your brains.
—That's what the boss consider "art". Personally, I think this is the most awful thing in existence. After my mother in law. But she says this is also the future of the company. Inside that thing is the new computer. Remember what she said in the last meeting? Well, here it is. Those "dudes" are the input and output modules. I'd have put this in the data center but she insisted its right place is here the mez'. So… hey… what's with you?

Zpace Corp. created the first 100% modular space station. Their secret was not its design but its building material. It looks organic, but it is more artificial than the burgers DacMonlad's sold at schools everywhere. Their secret is this thing sticks. Simply put two of those modules together and voilà. Your space station is a little, or a lot bigger. It withstands cosmic radiation, spaceships crashes, frat parties, and you can clean it with soap and water. #WritingPrompt

Vesper town drifts along at about 12 km, riding the jet stream above the Canadian Rockies. The trick is staying above the Troposphere but not going too far into the Stratosphere, that avoids the Earth’s heat while letting us process enough oxygen for living. When climate change stopped the Gulf Stream the planet went into chaos, the northern hemisphere iced over, the tropics burned. Our community made a life in Vesper; it’s difficult but we may be the only humans left.
This looks absolutely stunning! The trailer of Gareth Edwards' The Creator. With #VF by ILM. This is probably one of the handful of movies I would go the a movie theater to watch (hopefully IMAX?). Hooray for original #SciFi#movies
💾 Me, three months ago: "I can't wait to get started with this hard #Scifi I've been planning for a while!"
Me now: "Ok so how close to the Moon's surface do I need to get in order to achieve a gravitational fling boost of about 2000km/h? How long will it last? Can humans survive that kind of acceleration?"

@deinol America only exists because some religious zealots wanted to escape Europe, where their zealotry was being persecuted, so that they could pursue it elsewhere without interference. Its not entirely inaccurate to say that the USA was fascist from the start. It was certainly exterminatory and genocidal.

Colonel Haladoff isn't happy. Not only he hates the "Formal Review Uniform", but having to use it for days while supervising an emergency evacuation is his definition of hell. All because that cursed fog. It's not the prophesied Killer Fog, but a simple, stinking fog, courtesy of a farm outside the city. The drones sent the alert with enough time, but Dear Leader wanted to do his Victory Day Anniversary event before all hell broke loose.
"The projections are clear, Herr General Weiss. We will win the war. Allied forces have been eliminated in Europe, Great Britain, Africa, Japan, and the Russian front. Von Neumann's self replicating airships have been an unqualified success."
Weiss cocked an eyebrow. "But?"
"But they cannot be stopped. They are deconstructing German buildings and machines now to continue replication. We recommend command personnel get to the bunkers."
Weiss turned and headed for the nearest air raid shelter.
Christopher Nolan’s upcoming biopic Oppenheimer tells the story of the titular physicist who became known as the “father of the atomic bomb.” Under Oppenheimer's leadership, a small group of 20th century scientists created a weapon so deadly it rivals the power of science fiction doomsday devices. And they did it in an...

I don’t remember the name of the #scifi novel, but there was this line that stuck: when the ocean water in the Caribbean Sea actually started boiling, that finally got their attention.
@AuntieSyzygy that does not sound familiar, and I kinda doubt I would have forgotten reading a 1971 sci-fi tale. But thank you for trying to jog my memory…
