THE 4-HOUR ZONE presents as an intriguing time-travel psychological, conspiracy thriller.

dreaming, it is amazing to know that there aren't laws that we follow or have to go by. I am able to do whatever I want and whenever I want. I can make insane creations, time travel, fly, and the list goes on and on. I have even day dreamed multiple of times. When we day dream the "body is always fixed at a particular point in space time, your mind is always free to ramble in lands of make believe" (Gottschall XIV). I don't really know why our mind choses do certain things, but that is what makes us and

Paradoxes Now with the possibility of backwards causation there arises some paradoxes within the view. Namely, there are three different types of paradoxes to talk about, the Bootstrap Paradox, the Consistency Paradox, and Newcomb’s Paradox. The one that we will focus on, and I believe holds that most weight against backwards causation is Newcomb’s Paradox. The paradox in short is that a person is given a choice between two boxes, by a fortune teller who can fully predict the choice of the person

From the time that we’re young and claiming all the toys for ourselves to the time that we’re old and secretly, or maybe not so secretly, wanting the biggest piece of pie, it is human nature to only care about ourselves. Today’s society drills into our minds that we should “look out for number one,” but in Ray Bradbury’s science fiction story A Sound of Thunder, he tells the reader the complete opposite. In the exciting story about hunters who avoid making an impact on Time and History when they

The Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” (Lao Tzu), for it is true: love is an incredibly powerful thing with many gifts to offer. The novel The Time Traveller’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, the film The Fault in Our Stars by Josh Boone, and the epic poem The Odyssey by Homer all contain the topic of love, which is shown to bring peace to a turbulent environment, encourage perseverance, and elicit commitment

The cyberpunk movement was a phenomenon that took place during the 1980s through to the 1990s. Starting from a literacy basis from the works of William Gibson’s ‘Neuromancer’ [1984] [fig.1]. Science fiction it self has a huge history that resulted in the birth of the style of narrative and aesthetic all starting with Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ in 1818 all the way to the big space operas of the 1970s. The movement is built on the foundations of the concept of artificial intelligence that has a

Ford, an industrial era, where all people would be happy and extremely satisfied or as content as the ideal society would let them be. Yet, to determine utopia and dystopia in Brave New World, we have to look at the new world from our own time and from the time before Ford, seen through the eyes of John the Savage, our predecessor. The world we observe herein reflects a futuristic world, a world that is to come, and a happy world we can imagine with an amount of disbelief. People of our world, the

Two minutes to midnight, the stories press forth, but sixty seconds later, for whom this bell tolls, time shall stand still, despite man’s every will… For when it is 11:59, per the tale the league has told, the train will carry him away. The two stories, “The Baker Heater League” and “The 11:59”, though they were both written in the same time frame using similar settings and expanding on development of stories, are fundamentally different in the way information about legends is conveyed and the character

1960 were the United States' golden age, and the American dream pictured at this time is still very present in the way we see America today. It is also a time were young people, as embodied by James Dean in Rebel without a cause, are lost, a bit rebellious, and looking for a meaning to life. In literature, this mindset is at the core of the Beat Generation. As a response to the expanding consuming society of the time and its materialism, the authors of, lead by Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs or

The power station was heavily guarded, three snorpians and nine servants were there at all times. Brock had so far failed to get close enough to it to determine how it worked, but from what he could see he doubted it had been built on Morpheus. The only thing he knew for certain, was that it was the sole source of power for the barrier and the stunners the snorpians carried.

having influenced their texts using destiny as a driving force that pushes characters along a set path. Most of the time destiny is used as a maleficent force such as in The Fault in Our Stars novel by John Green or in the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, other times it can be a force of good such as in the film Slumdog Millionaire directed by Danny Boyle and at other times it is simply there as it pushes good and

We began this course with a discussion on definitions of science fiction, and how these definitions have developed over time. After reading and discussing almost fifty science fiction stories, I understand why science fiction is difficult to define, since how each author used science and/or technology in his or her stories was seldom the same when compared to other authors. For example, in Tom Godwin 's "The Cold Equations," Newton’s laws of motion drove the story’s conflict, and forced Captain

Time travel is a concept that most people only believe to exist in works of pure science fiction, but it may be a reality within the next generation. It is possible that if we travel close to the speed of light, we can travel forward in time; however, today 's technology has not provided us with a way to get back home.
