fact or fiction
Is it science fact or science fiction? Futurism presents both sides to determine the truth.
The Beginning to a Novel I Will Never Find the Time to Write
I have never been outside… Never felt the amber rays of a falling sun drown my skin in warmth, or awoken to a blanket of mist silently resting over rolling fields… From what I have read, it has become increasingly apparent to me that Spring sounds like the richest and most beautiful time of year. Dickens speaks of March as the only month where the “sun shines hot and the wind blows cold." Only through novels, poetry, and words can I somewhat understand what home once was. What home could be again.

10 Shocking Mandela Effects *Must Read*
For years, I believed that my childhood was nothing short of a poetic fairy-tale. Growing up, I had most of what I wanted and everything that I needed. It wasn't always magical, but it was great to know that regardless of the ungrateful attitude I carried as a little shit, my mom still took really good care of me. If I were her I would have definitely slid me back to God immediately. However, she fell in love, and here I am. Being a kid was hard at times, but there were many times I made great memories.

This Will Ruin Your Childhood Forever - This Will Ruin YOU
Skip to 8:00 in the video and you will be both disturbed and fascinated... So I was talking to my friends the other day and someone asked me what I thought of the Mandela Effect—not knowing what he was talking about, I told him to elaborate.

The Mandala Effect
**THIS IS SIMPLY A THEORY, NOT MEANT TO DEFAME OR INSULT ANY COMPANIES, PEOPLE, COUNTRIES, AND ANY OTHER PARTIES** The Mandala Effect's name comes from Nelson Mandala, who some people incorrectly remember him passing away in prison, but he didn't actually die until he was released and died later on. The Mandala Effect basically means remembering something being one way but instead it's the other way around. Here's a few examples that we can dive into:

The Moon Landing Conspiracy Theory
**THIS IS SIMPLY A THEORY, NOT MEANT TO DEFAME OR INSULT ANY COMPANIES, PEOPLE, COUNTRIES, AND ANY OTHER PARTIES** The moon landing was widely debated and still is to this day; was it real or was it simply a hoax? I do have my beliefs when it comes to this, but I'll get to that later.

The Implausibility of Popular Sci-Fi Aliens - Part Three
Communicating and interacting in any meaningful way with a truly alien species might prove extremely difficult, and perhaps impossible. In this concluding part of the trilogy, we will investigate some of the truly alien species and civilisations depicted in less mainstream sci-fi, and discuss the difficulties we might have communicating and interacting with them.

The Mandela Effect
See anything wrong with the above quote? Well, of course you don't, it's one of the most iconic pop culture references ever. For decades, people have been quoting this scene from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes back, but have they been quoting it wrong?

The Origin of the Universe
There are several theories about the origin of this wonderful and complex system we call the universe, I refer to it is a system since it has multiple sub-systems, such as galaxies, stars, among others, that develop with constant expansion in a way amazing, without a doubt, nothing more fascinating than the origin of things, but although the evidence supports the theory of the big bang, there are many ideas, some more outlandish than others, which try to explain this interesting phenomenon, the origin of the universe.

How Real Is Real?
Humans have sought to explain reality since of the dawn of our species. Our thirst for the answers of the unknown is the driving force behind all innovations and advancements. When answers could not be found, we developed religion to fill in the gaps. Over time, we proposed the scientific method to measure the material world and interpret it through an empirical lens. In modern times, both spirituality and science are believed to be polar opposites with one being "faith" and the other being "realistic." Today, I want to challenge both perspectives to answer the life-long question: what is real and how real is real?
