Mystery

Dark Adaptation
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say… The darkness is all engulfing, it pulls at you, wanting you to become a part of its vastness. It is illuding and somewhat comforting when you think about it. Drifting alone through space and time. Not having to worry about responsibilities or relationships. A calm sets in and then acceptance takes over. Then, just nothing.

Whispered Secrets: He Keeps an Eye on The Arcs in the Mirror
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. And, they said it loud, clear, and often enough that the gullible believed them.

The Samhain Chronicles: Ch. 10
Danny's palms began to sweat as he stood before the mystery woman, his eyes darting back and forth between her and Penelope struggling in her grip. "I don't know who you are," Penelope grunted, "and I don't care! Daniel is not going with you, and that's-" Her eyes widened as she trailed off abruptly with a choking gasp. The woman's arm had pressed tighter to her throat, cutting off her defiant chirps.

In My Solitude
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. They also say if you open your helmet when there is no atmosphere your eyes will pop out of your head and explode. Others tell me it would be like boiling from the inside out. According to the posters plastered on the edge of The Mew, we would be aware for a few seconds before you basically suffocate- the air in your lungs would be forced out of your body and you'd be gaping for air like a fish before perishing due to oxygen deprivation.

Lying in Wait [re-sub]
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Sound needs a medium on which to travel; perhaps this quirky little detail about space served a purpose. Human progress throughout history has often been met by those who chastise us for “playing god” for attempting to wield the laws of nature. In 1996 we received this “noble badge” when we began to dip our tones into cloning. In 2003 we decided the title suited us and upped the ante by attempting to bring the Pyrenean Ibex back from extinction by inserting its DNA into a surrogate mother. In 2021 in an attempt to rid the world of Malaria, we bioengineered mosquitoes at the celular level in order to make them incapable not only of contracting the disease but of passing it genetically to their offspring, essentially culling out the issue in a generation or two. As our scientific progress grew, so too did the chants and warning about “playing god” with nature. But it seems there was one boundary we were never meant to cross; a law of nature which assured the very safety of all life in the universe - and this law stated that sound cannot travel through the vacuum of space….

A Science Fiction Story Based on Facts and Theories
HEISENBERG EFFECT In 1955 , There was a small house in America and in the bedroom of that house a man was on his death bed his breathing was audible in all the room and the enhale and exhale of him was slowing down with the movement of clock . The whole scene was witnessed by his 10 year old child and after few minutes of this process the father of the child was dead because the breathing was completely stopped. It was a huge shock for the son and he had to get back in normal condition by forgetting everything in order to live his future life. So he started paying more attention in books he started reading and understanding a lot about different concepts . One day while exploring books , He found a book called Time Machine . He was so fascinated by that book and the content of the book which was read by him gave him a way to see his father again by time travel. His name was Ronald Mallet . He started researching and hardworking to make the time travel possible . His basic approach was to follow the theory of relativity by Albert Einstein. According to which how much the gravity will decide how much the curvature will be in space fabric and it will ultimately decide how much the time will be slowed down .But, he was thinking and believing that instead of curvature in space fabric if we can make a full twist in space fabric then we can go to the past and future easily he showed a demo of it with lasers to the scientists and made a ring with them and according to that ring twists the space time but nobody believed in him because they said that, suppose with this you can go to the past but how is it possible to come back . At this point mallet was clueless so they ended up the topic and for further few years nobody talked about time travel and this concept became very underrated. But , in year 2000 when people was discussing about this topic on a website called time travel institute . A message came up on the screen by a person called john tittor according to him he was an American soldier and came from year 2036 he was sent by his government to because their was a glitch in the computer of his time which can only be fixed with the computer of 1957 . But after doing his work he stopped in year 2000 to pick up some pictures of his family . Everybody was in deep shock after reading this message . After that everybody was discussing about it and suddenly john was disappeared but before going he left a way of time travelling for us which is called Heisenberg Theory . According to this story that if in case there is any glitch in the universe then our universe is capable of recovering that glitch automatically and things become normal after some time in universe and it is well explained by grandfather paradox . So according to all of these theories , Yes absolutely time travel is possible and in case something wrong happened by you in past while time travelling so the universe is capable of recvovering the glitch and hence you will not remember anything when entering in present time . So these are some crazy theories and facts which came from the research and experience of scientists which proves that time travel is possible in todays world . Are,t these are shocking explanations ? Yes they are . But it doesn’t mean that wer have only this way to do time travel instead we also have two more ways to make it possible . Parallel Universe Glitch and Time Slip . Lets take the example of 4 years back a case came to the American university in which an unclosed family shifted to a small town and everything was normal until the children of that family entered in the backyard of the house and they experienced a lot of strange things like in the street there was no any person walking and a lot of red coloured trees was seen by them and after the next day everything ng was quite normal so it is quite possible that they could be entered in parallel universe and it was also the saying of American university after researching on this topic . So the result was that due to entering parallel universe those children actually entered in their future . So it is also a big example of time travel by the Parallel universe glitch . So all these things theories and facts state that time travel is quite possible and there are different ways of it as well.

Abyssalis
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The solipsistic nature of humanoids often resulted in universally untrue, narrow-minded notions. It was undoubtedly inaccurate for The Emissary of the Abyss. For as long as The Emissary could remember, howls of agony and wails of sorrow were the symphonic chorus that framed Their life, regardless of Their location. Eventually, it melded with the background and allowed Them to focus on their work, but the song remained. A reminder The Emissary was never alone. A reminder of the mission.

Astrid's Equation
Nobody can hear your scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. These words are written on a poster. This poster is blue and black and white. They never asked me for my input on the poster but happily, this is the color palette I would have chosen. A good omen. I remember thinking that at the time. “This is a good omen.” The phrase itself I thought a bit over the top, but people seemed to like it.

"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say," I muttered under my breath. My therapist pulled out a pen and furiously wrote on her pad.

The Naked Spacewalk
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That’s because without atmospheric pressure you have about 10 seconds before you begin to ebullism. The water in your blood and soft tissues begin to vaporize, the surfaces of your tongue and eyelids begin to boil and at 30 seconds you’re a human bloater. Your organs have all swollen to twice their normal size and begun to burst but your skin is just elastic enough to hold everything together nicely. In fact, screaming may be about the best thing you could do assuming your final breath hadn’t already ruptured your lungs on the way out from desperately holding it in.

POD 99
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. My eyes are sharply prized open from a sudden screech for help. As the obtrusive note lingers an octave higher, I feel it course up my spine. A symphony of screams almost immediately follows; the encore harmonious with the sound of a slaughterhouse.

Two Seconds to Midnight
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But that is not how my nightmares go. All I can hear is my screaming as I desperately float away from the one lifeline left in this world. I watch, as the Soteria spacecraft slowly drifts out of my view, beyond the horizon of the Earth. I feel the tears fall down my face, how warm they are against my skin. This spacesuit was not made to have been worn for this long, and it’s beginning to get cold. The suit’s systems are failing. I know because I hear the tireless beeping of the AI alarm system fighting to preserve my life. I feel the end. The darkness of space starts to close in and I sob, not for myself, but for all of humanity that was relying on me. I’ve let them all down.
