future
Exploring the future of science today, while looking back on the achievements from yesterday. Science fiction is science future.
Musculus Misadventures
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I tried to push the stupid thought out of my mind. Now was not the time for all the trivial blasts of information my mind was so used to spewing. A brief image of my mother fluttered through my mind before I forced myself to open my eyes. They closed again involuntarily as the sound came through my com.link. Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space… Or so they say. They were probably ignorant of the fact that we have com.links built into our suits. His scream was truly deafening.

Repression and Robots
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Just to be safe, Jane always made sure that only Rosie was in the house while she screamed her frustrations. No point in upsetting the rest of the family, after all. If Rosie heard her, she never said anything about it, so the tradition of letting the vacuuming robot drown out her shouts and sobs slowly became habit.

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.”

Global Climactic Optimum
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Gazing into the endless darkness, Aster thought it ironic that her eyes glossed over spacing out, yet her mind kept wandering into a dream-like state. Not entirely knowing how to calm her nerves, her fingers traced one another from the palm of her hand to the tips of her fingers as if she were scheming ominously. Aster gyrated from the diminutive rectangular window and analyzed the sterile, all-pervading white walls that seemed loud in such an agonizing silence. She knew that any minute that silence would turn into a dry mechanical voice on a recorded loudspeaker initiating how to begin her day.

Message in a Bottle
Chapter 1 Message in a Bottle Nobody can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That’s what everyone thought. For years. But that was before, something my mother used to tell me, before we realized we weren’t alone. And you need to understand that. We are not alone.

Ultraviolet
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That doesn’t mean I didn’t try. If you had told me two weeks ago that I would be in space or even that aliens existed, I would have laughed. I have always been interested in alien movies or video games, but never in a million years did I think I would personally experience it.

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…
