Science Fiction

The Creature had a free will and a desire to be free. The real "monster" in Frankenstein was the doctor who created him as he became obsessed with controlling that which was impossible to control.

Yes, in Robert Louis Stevenson's novella "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," Dr. Jekyll does provide Mr. Hyde with a residence in Soho where he can carry out his darker activities away from Jekyll's own reputation. This home becomes a key location in the story where Hyde's violent behavior is eventually discovered.

As of current scientific understanding, there is no known way to escape the universe by teleporting. The concept of teleportation as seen in science fiction is not possible with our current understanding of physics and technology.

If the story of Owl Creek Bridge were told in chronological order, the suspense and tension built around the protagonist's escape and subsequent capture at the bridge would be lost. The element of surprise and the twist ending revealing the protagonist's hallucination while facing death would also be less impactful because the reader would know the outcome from the beginning. The non-linear structure of the story is essential to creating the dramatic effect and engaging the reader in the protagonist's experience.

A fictional creture that can fly and is probably some what dragon-like. In the book Pegasus by Robin McKinley, they are monsters who attack and eat the pegasi.

The monster wants Victor to create a companion for him, another being of his kind, so that he is not alone in the world. He believes that having a companion will alleviate his loneliness and give his life more meaning.

He loses all his goodness and is left with only his badness. When he does the he get physically smaller as well as if goodness is proportional to size. He also get hairier as hair is unaffected by the change. He also get wrinkly as skin in only partly good.

Carpet typically has more friction than linoleum because of its thicker and softer texture. The fibers in carpet create more resistance when objects or feet move across its surface, resulting in more friction compared to the smooth texture of linoleum.

Space l999, the so-called Eagles were essentially flying Cranes handling hot radioactive waste ( in cannisters) to a Lunar dump site. They were crane-form and not aerodynamically sound as they did not operate in an atmosphere- good science fiction there. The control cabins were streamlined, however.

Obviously geologists studied volcanism and similar phenomena. Man has always been concerned ( for rather profitable reasons) with natural resources underground, for use as fuels- coal , oil, etc and precious metals and gems. One cannot really say geology was a dead or even dormant science in l864 when Verne wrote (Journey) I saw the movie with Arlene Dahl and felt, while Low-tech- the rechargeable flashlights, callee Rumkorff lamps- were an exception and worked handily into the plot- it was generally speaking an intelligent sci-fi drama and may have well worked without a bad Guy- who had some good moments, by the way- explaining the luminous fungi in the lower regions. there was a tie-in to Atlantis, and the use of the Giant Bathtub as a survival, err Lifeboat- was both comic and practical! the only flaws of the films were totally off-base songs having noithing to do with the plot ( this is an old Hollywood flaw- look at (raindrops) and a violent crime western) -and maybe a surfeit of sight-gags. some comic relief is useful in a film of this kind but too much.. no. ask a question and get a film review on the side. It"s Good for type- on the large screen, also Dinosaurs look bigger on the broad scan than the TV set!

Aliens may potentially live on planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets, that have conditions suitable for life. These conditions could include a stable environment, liquid water, and the presence of organic molecules. Scientists are actively searching for signs of alien life in these distant worlds.

The word "alien" has more than one definition. By space aliens, then we don't know, because no one's a 100% sure if space aliens exist yet. However, by aliens, as in people from different countries, then they should have 2 hands with 5 fingers on each hand.

"The Cold Equations" refers to the concept of strict mathematical and scientific principles governing a situation, often resulting in a difficult or tragic outcome. This phrase is derived from a science fiction short story of the same name, where a young girl stows away on a spacecraft, violating weight limits and forcing a difficult decision based on survival and physics.

Ga-neen De-Pro

Any answer to this must be pure speculation, because we have no way of even trying to determine whether or not there are other "dimensions" or "universes".

There are a number of physics models that manage to cram existing observations into a 10 or 24 dimension cosmos. But like all of Quantum Mechanics and gravity/string models, there is no real science supporting them, yet.

In those models, the "universe" as we see it may be one sort of three dimensional "membrane" among many, contained in the space of the additional dimensions.

Economic or personal-psychological depression. The Great Slump of l929. I have also used the word for a temporary loss of pressure in a pipe line- I have heard them say- a pressure slump on the l50 line ( why it happened this morning) too many people using the faucets at once. generally depression- either psychological or economic.

the conflict in Ender's game is to defeat the aliens"Buggers",who are more intelligent than the human.. Buggers are threats to the human kind .they are faster in making decisions. They are defeated twice and are now more dangerous.

Twilight ZONE certainly is. I am referring to the Rod Serling (Not Sterling!) television program. it is conceivable the author may have derived his name from a popular drug store at Journal Square the Silver Rod, he inverted it To Rod Sterling- a type of Silver and then it was modified to Serling- to avoid confusion with the .925 grade silver. People used to popularly call him Rod Sterling, and it is easy to see how the Drug store legend arose. Silver Rod- backwards- also implies he may have used- Drugs.

An unusual question but on that demands some sort of answer. Let us take the word Beauty, and I have chosen this definition "An outstanding example of its kind". And the word Eternity for which I have chosen "Time without end". So what do others see us as,

an outstanding example who will have no end for our lives are eternal? And is that how we see ourselves? We reflect only that which we are.

Dr. Jekyll offers financial compensation to the bystanders to keep them quiet about Hyde's behavior. He gives them money as a way to ensure their silence and cooperation in the matter.

if you think of it as a see-saw: __________

/_\ <- this is the fulcrum

It may have dealt with tampering with emergency location devices- such as the Fog Signal the title alludes to- possibly to cause ship accidents and then create work for the salvage contractors- which might cost human life. Human wreckage, indeed. Why couldn"t Bradbury focus on Sci Fi, not terrorist plotting? That is my guess.
