The Matrix is one of those quintessential science fiction movies and I enjoyed watching it again. The red pill is a pill of knowledge and the blue pill is a pill of ignorance. Neo chooses the red pill and for most of my life I figured if I was given the choice, I would alsoContinue reading “The Matrix”

While I enjoyed this movie, I had a difficult time following it. Throughout the movie, Cole is plagued with questions of his own sanity. One minute he knows that he is a time-traveler from the future and the next minute he accepts how crazy that idea is. And this makes it really difficult to keepContinue reading “12 Monkeys”

The Time Machine:  I really enjoyed the way the concept of time travel was portrayed in this story. The Time Traveler proposes that time is a fourth dimension of space and that our “consciousness moves along it.” When the Time Traveler time travels he doesn’t immediately show up in a new time and place, heContinue reading “The Time Machine”

You find out the planet has six suns, but there’s only oneContinue reading “Nightfall by Isaac Asimov”

They decide to send secret agents and a group of doctors back through time to try to eradicate specific diseases. They feel that they’re doing a successful job and have managedContinue reading “My sci-fi story:”

In Bulgakov’s Fatal Eggs, Professor Persikov’s happens upon a strange discovery. Professor Persikov discovers that a light ray can accelerate growth and reproduction in living beings.
