The evolution of science, science fiction, and mankind throughout the years.

The Disruptor
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. THE 2095 ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS CHALLENGE for youth age 7 through 18, published on New Years’ Day, asked students to prove or refute that statement in plain language. The correct answer was assumed to be something like “there are no particles to create the sound waves to transmit sound, or any components of the mechanical energy needed to realize sound; by definition nothing exists in a vacuum, so sound is impossible.”

D[R]YAD: An Odyssey
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. One of our eyespots watches the passage of time in the slapdash simulacrum of binary sunlight shifting over ill-suited living quarters; the other gazes listlessly at the miasma of light on the vidscreen, the speeding sundry stars streaked into opalescent fire. We may not be able to hear the sound waves of an exhalation as it escapes from the body and thins into void; but we see the twisting of the flesh and contorting of the form; we feel the panic of the creature as it faces annihilation; and, among those who share the art of Inspeak, we absorb the final thoughts of the dying.

New Worlds
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The quantum mechanics seem to evade the highest and best minds. But, We, are Here to impart that the structures of life Here, can be altered with the correct application. There are knobs, dials and switches.

Carrier lost
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. It’s one of those trite aphorisms that means nothing of course, hearkening back to the times of organic matter and bodies that compressed gasses and passed them through pressurized tubes across membranes that controlled the vibrations in the gaseous material and transmitted sound. Sound. Imagine that. Sound…

CIRCLING CHAOS
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Althea had been told not to go off the ship, she had been warned. The consequences would be dire but she couldn’t stay away; the stairs called to her, beckoning her to have a look, that’s all—just one simple look.

Mourning Star
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That's all I wanted now, to drift quietly into the sound of nothing. I had searched for that abyss here on earth but 2022 had evolved our planet into one giant satellite that could stream a steady kind of tinnitus you could actually feel. There were no more places one could dwell among the mountaintops and contemplate the Now. There was only the perpetual buzz of communications resonating through the Social Registry chip implanted in every citizen's molar. I needed to find fluent silence.

FARAN
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Amara didn't let the thought keep her from screaming all the same. She screamed and pleaded, she begged and cried, for what seemed like, forever. Her mind flying through thoughts and scenarios, grasping at this and that, she was flooded with emotions and terrified of what was to become of her now.

Is the world becoming a cyborg?
The world is evolving around us, no doubt about it. How are we going to evolve beside it? Surely, not naturally, unless we find a way to speed up our biology. The only other way is by technology and augmentation. Some believe that we must become cyborgs, or cybernetic organisms, to keep up with the progression of society.
