I have been doing some research for the short story I plan on writing. It takes place 500 years in the future and will explain aliens, time travel and the future in one handy short story that will be expanded after the short story is released. I don't have a title yet. The scientist who resonates the most with me is Michio Kaku. He makes science exciting and fun.
The most fascinating theory of his i learned was the Time Travel Paradox, or the lack thereof. This inspired me to include an aspect to my story that included parallel universes.
The future world I will be writing about is one that is based on the evolution of the technology of today. Corporations will be the electorate's in each state come voting time, not all states exist as they do today, some have become part of corporate mergers. Corporate names no longer exist, only logos represent a corporation/electorate/statehood. The universal language is English. The second universal language is the Coprorate Logo.
Humans are partially computerized, where fetal brain matter is mapped like a computer's motherboard, or a smart phone. Conversations are not face-to-face or one-on-one, they are phone calls or the equivalent of comments on a facebook post, and the internet, which I will dubb the "mentalnet", can be viewed through contact lenses when the eyelids are closed. Logging on is done by activating a synapse in the brain through vocalization. Keyboards, computers and phones are no longer needed. A humanoid just vocalizes what they want to compose or what they want to see or read and it will appear behind their eyes.
Diseases have been made obsolete because bacteria is no longer organic, it is produced in a lab. Because there are no diseases, the healthcare industry has evolved into biologists and geneticists. Humanoids are only allowed one child per family then all the other eggs become sterile. Choosing a family wisely is extremely important. The process of courtship is no longer the same. A person's bio is created as they experience life and is uploaded on the mentalnet. A possible suitor need only to investigate the bio of a humanoid they desire and go from there. Some things, like cell memory, and environmental influences cannot be genetically obsolete they are a process of life. Sexual intercourse is no longer necessary. The pleasure center in the brain only needs to be overstimulated in the reproductive areas. This is an addiction even in the future. Humanoids can also share parts of their unique energy signatures to create the feeling that touching and closeness once produced in this era.
They eat cloned animals. The earth's main fuel source is solar energy.
-[Converting sunlight into electricity by tiny solar cells embedded into roads, and concentrating solar power by constructing very large space-based solar power satellites that utilize wireless power transmission, converting solar energy into electrical energy via laser emitter and focusing its beam toward a rectenna collector outside of the atmosphere]-
There are other possibilities of our universe that exist, all parallel to the one in which we currently dwell. Some of these other parallel universes will also be visited by our futuristic humanoid protagonist. The future I have mapped out above is the one my character will come from. The one she's going to, the one in which we dwell at this very moment, is not her universe. This universe is parallel to hers. She is able to come back and time to observe and possibly affect a parallel universe because it is not the same stream as her own. (See Michio's video link by clicking his name above.)
I've been really just doing research and fleshing out the details of the story I plan on writing.
Is this inspiring, boring, or confusing to you? Or just plain nerd-douchey? Share your thoughts! Thanks!
