Travelers of Mars
This was the last rocket ever sent from Earth, and it had successfully reached Mars. The mission aimed to settle humans on the Red Planet, fearing the outbreak of a nuclear war on Earth. Safe housing, gardens, and other necessary infrastructures had already been prepared in advance. Many settlers had already been transported, and this rocket carried twenty-six people, including Joseph, his wife Della, and their two children, George and Allen. As the rocket landed gently on a grassy Martian plain, the tremors of landing quickly faded, and the hatch opened with a soft click.

Will AI be able to achieve self-awareness?
Artificial intelligence can be described as the creation of systems that are not human but have cognitive abilities similar to those of people, such as the use of language, perception and the ability to make decisions. This represents a very ambitious goal and raises extremely challenging questions about the essence of the human mind and its connection to the brain. Despite these challenges, it is a project that has clear and precise objectives, so it is possible to measure its progress and understand how far it is to reach those goals. At present, artificial intelligence is quite limited compared to human intelligence, but the achievements in certain fields are impressive. The extrapolation of these achievements indicates that the creation of systems with abilities equal to or superior to those of humans is only a matter of time.

How Intelligent Systems Are Redesigning Modern Work
Workflow automation has existed for decades. From basic rule-based scripts to enterprise automation platforms, organizations have continuously tried to reduce manual effort and operational delays. However, traditional automation has reached its limits. Static rules cannot adapt to changing conditions, unstructured data, or complex decision-making.

How pollen seasons are being extended by artificial light
The end of pollen season may be postponed by artificial light from city lights, prolonging the time that pollen is in the air. For city dwellers, the longer season modifies the duration and timing of allergy exposure.

Hey Aye
Introduction This is still relevant. It's eleven thirty post meridian in Newcastle upon Tyne. Maybe I should be going to bed, but in half an hour I can do my next Wordle play and share it with my friends. Still, I am just going to put some unresearched (apart from my own experience) thoughts on how we are affected by the growing spectre and bogeyman that goes by the name of AI (Artificial Intelligence).

Pinnacle of evolution
400,000 years ago, since humans invented fire, humans stand as the pinnacle of evolution, treating animals as food and slavery, the earth for the living thing as their resource, and even being overconfident about their status, and creating wars to fight who is the strongest among the same species.

Time Travel: The Idea That Almost Makes Sense — Until Reality Steps In
Time travel is one of those ideas that feels almost possible. Not because movies made it look cool. Not because fiction romanticized it.

Exploring the Vast Universe of Perry Rhodan
I first stumbled upon Perry Rhodan on a rainy Saturday afternoon in a tiny secondhand bookstore in Berlin. I wasn’t looking for it—I was just hiding from the cold—but the neon orange spines on the shelf called to me like a secret. I picked up the first issue and found myself staring at a cover depicting gleaming spaceships, alien landscapes, and a man who somehow looked both heroic and terrified.

Why Time Freedom Matters More Than Money in the Modern World
On a quiet Tuesday morning, Adam found himself sitting in his car, engine off, staring at the entrance of a glass building he had entered thousands of times before. His phone buzzed with a notification: “Meeting rescheduled to 7:00 PM.” He sighed, not because he disliked his job, but because he had promised his daughter he would help her ride her bike that evening. Again, time had slipped through his fingers. Adam was not poor. In fact, by most modern standards, he was successful. A steady income, a respectable title, a comfortable apartment, and a calendar so full it barely had room to breathe. Yet in that moment, he realized something unsettling: despite having money, he had very little control over his own life. This quiet realization is becoming increasingly common in the modern world. While society continues to glorify wealth, luxury, and financial milestones, a deeper truth is emerging beneath the surface. Time freedom — the ability to control how you spend your time — has become more valuable than money itself.

Convenience isn't always better.
It's been 43 years since we were blessed with the internet- or is it we were cursed with it? There are roughly equal pros and cons with the internet being a blessing and a curse.
