Galaxiki Community BlogSubscribe via RSS A rather interesting fact: 1May 02, 2012by hgfggg Did you know that, before any man made device had ever reached space, fiction writers-and scientists, even- thought that Venus was a rainforest world? Bit of a distance miscalculation! Arthur C. Clarke, I believe, wrote a full book about a schoolchild who was locked in a locker on Venus for the only day on which the skies cleared? Unfortunately, life on Venus would be much worse. You would have to wear something similar in weight to 2 suits of armor from medieval times. If there was a problem in your suit, you would only have about one second to live.

However, due to the rather graphic nature of this story, I will not be posting it here on the blog as I used to with stories like this. Instead, I have posted it into the KBW (knowledge base wiki) which is where all old stories of this site have been archived. If you wish to read the story, here is a link to it: http://www.galaxiki.org/wiki/kbw/To_Serve_the_Masters I warn you that this story can easily be considered NSFW. And is most definitely NOT for everyone.

Based on observations, the central assumption cannot be true, but the insight it brings helped Feynman develop quantum electrodynamics, which in turn aided Hawking in dealing with some of the insanity surrounding black holes. Hawking radiation, in fact, becomes much more intuitive if positrons can be treated as electrons moving backward in time.

The first component is a letter from their alphabet which had evolved from a cuneiform script. There are 37 letters in their alphabet from Ak to Zof. The second component is the name of the constellation in which the star is found from the perspective of the Geddi home world

Obesity is not tolerated among these people. They are lean and hard. They have skin the colors ranging from amber,golden to bronze and have obsidian colored eyes They have almond eyes and pointed ears. They can be described as to resemble Asiatic elves from the Far East. Their hair is invaribly black and unmarried women have their hair cut to a length of five centimeters, not much longer than men's hair. When they are married they are expected to grow their hair to a length of 60 centimeters. The short hair sets the maidens off from the married women. The young girls are implanted with a birth control device until they get married. They are forbidden to marry until they have killed an enemy in battle. Unlike the Star Wars Empire, women had a a pronounced presence and influence in the Geddi Empire, not only did they serve in the Imperial Forces, they were prominent in the Bureaucracy,and many agents of the myriad police and intelligence agencies were women. The "with it or on it" mentality was fostered by the women since their antiquity. Being staunchly monarchist and aristocratic they supported monarchies in worlds that they wished to dominate and would intermarry with local dynasties. Such dynastic marriages are the sole exception to an ancient ban on native Geddi women marrying outside their race. The Children belong to the State and at birth are examined for fitness, the weak are euthanized, at ages seven, twelve and eighteen they are likewise inspected with the weak, sick and disabled being weeded out. Their education consists of military training for eleven years. Those suffering disabling injuries are expected to commit suicide. The Geddi acquired this harsh lifesyle because their race was almost wiped out by a 100 year long famine brought on by stellar degradation.
