JUNE 10th - JULY 10th
Asteroid Strike
The 7.5 lac asteroids in the Mars- Jupiter belt. It is an amazing sight. Just Awesome!
But today, on a cold wintry day, the 26 December 2066, there is news you don’t want to hear. One of these Earth annihilating size asteroids has strayed.
And it is now in the space zone directly aimed at Earth.
The moment of an impending asteroid strike has brought the world together.
The Space - Force of The United States of America, Russia, and China side by side, for once. The Space - Force of the 3 greatest nations ever.
The Machette asteroid is half a mile wide. The last time an asteroid pummeled us, the dinosaurs became extinct.
No wonder, there is eerie silence across the globe.
The journo however, is asking queries. “Why is this asteroid strike an emergency? Why wasn’t it tracked earlier? ”
Just out of college Paula could not hold back either. “Is there a joint space effort? I can’t see it…”
‘I mean remove your dark goggles lady…’
The Space Force Commander is grim. “We need a quick reaction time. Machete changed course midway. We cannot rule out the possibility of alien trick.”
Jifo: ‘OOoOwww. Aliens plotting to crash an asteroid into Earth. How mean can they get!’
There were loud murmurs and more screaming questions.
From Octagon, the World Space Force Center, SF Chief Commander John Dewy orders Space Force 1 on standby.
Jigo: Sail equipped Luvin spacecraft propelled by photonic laser thrusters. Photons have stored energy which transition to push when they hit the sail. They can achieve upto 25% the speed of light.
Jifo: Ummmm. Hmmm… I knw. I knw. It’s just awesome. We are seein’ a Space Force for the first time.
3,2,1,0… Space Fire.
SF 8.0 takes off from Earth Interplanetary and Interstellar Travel Platform – EIITF.
Relativistic speed - 20% the speed of light achieved.
Target: Earth Annihilating asteroid Machette.
Time to Target: 36 hours.
Entire Earth is on standby by mode. Till something happens.
After what seems like eternity there's a rimple. The strange little sound that precedes a message from space.
Commander : Target spotted
Activate Laser. Fire Laser.
The laser tipped spacecraft 8.0 sprayed Machette, ripping it into pieces.
Commander: Objective Achieved: Machete Decimated.
Machete dust trails into the deep darkness of space.
There were cheers across the globe and for a brief period in time there were no enemies on Earth.
The Luvin spacecraft speeds away into the ether regions for its journey back to Octagon.
Jigo: We can take care of asteroid strikes.
Water Earth
Fizz Fizzz Fizz
Ouuch! Hey you!
Can’t you two gomophores see where you are steppin’. You stepped on my tail! Owww! Gomophores!
Jigo/Jifo: Ahem. Sry Sry.
Fizzzz: Shhhh. Listen… Miocene Is Telling Us Something.
In Middle Miocene, Earth was 7 degrees warmer and sea levels were 100 feet higher.
That warm climate leading to meltdown in the Antarctic icebox was associated with higher levels of carbon dioxide - as much as 500 ppm-600 ppm.
Whizzfizz (Shouting): Fizzz… Do you know, in 2018, Earth crossed 400 ppm. Fizzz Wheeeez. You stupid humans will all drown in water.
(Becoming Sombre): That was the early sign that should‘ve made you humans act.
Jifo : Where is Miami Beach.
Whizzfizz: Hey. This is 2100 AD. There’s no Miami beach. This is the Miami Sea.
Jifo: Oh No. My fav beach is history. Boo Hoo. Boo Hoo. Hoo.
Jifo: Let’s crank the time space machine and go back to 2018 Jigo. And let’s protect Miami beach from sinkin’ into the sea.
Whizzfizz: There is a meltdown happening in Antarctica. There is enough ice over there to rise sea levels by 180 feet. And you humans will be in a sea of water.
Jigo : New York would be under water.
Whizzfizz: You know 1,250 miles of ice shelf melted into water in just over a month.
Jigo: Like we would have to think - Would we continue to remain ground humans or should we morph ourselves into sea humans.
And live in Sea Cities.
Jifo (Excited): Sea cities and Sea towns. Sea humans. Wow. That’s sooo ’xcitin’. Flippers and multiboats.
Massive floating cities, sea tunnels, water energy, islands, amphibious craft, dolphins as pets, boat houses. Wake up in the morning with the sunrays on your face, your pet dolphin pecks you a kiss on the cheek and you get ready for a day in the sea office with a dive in the cool refreshing river. You have a river boat house. How much better than a land home.
Jigo: Dungeon Cities. Underground cities. Scraper cities into the Earth. Underwater water bubble cities linked via tubes held together and fostering an ecosytem through a bubble hub and tube link. Travel at hi- speed with waist band speed boats single seater or with two passengers.
Jifo : The human ingenuity is boundless. Rather than be scared we can be inventive. And why not be sea humans. After all fish is a healthier food than chicken.
Whizzfizz: Parts of Earth have witnessed 50 degree Celsius and heat waves. Uncontrolled global warming can lead to Earth flood.
Jigo: The sea is rising and the oceans rise. It’s not cool.
Jifo: We can be Sea Humans: By Choice. That’s excitin’
Or we can end up as Sea Humans Coz We Don’t have a choice. That’s horrible.
It’s a choice you can make ... NOW !
Jigo: Make clean energy a way of life. You can design many more innovative clean energy solutions coz clean energy has just begun.
Whizzfizz: There is just 1 option: Clean energy. Cut down on pollution and plastics. Plant trees and grow forests. Conserve water. That’s it. That’s all.
Jigo: Now that you are done with your speech, I was just waitin to kno who are you?
Whizzfizz: I am the Whizzfizz.
Jifo: You mean whizfish ?
Whizzfizz: Yea Whizzfizz – Cause I know all the facts at the tip of my fin.
Jifo: Oh Hi I am Jifo and he is…
Whizzfizz: What are you doing here at Antartica.
Jifo: To tell a long story shortly: We got cursed by a witch… Jifo didn’t care much for grammer.
Jigo: Yea; we got cursed by a black witch.
‘Become Invisible.’ The witch said.
‘Until you watch an event that ocuured 130 million years ago. Heee Ha Ha Ha Ha. Heee Ha Ha Ha Ha’
130 million years…..
Whizzfizz: Oh! That’s why you b’came invisible!
And you need to watch an event that occurred 130 million years ago to become visible ‘gain! Foo Foo Fa Fa Fa Fo Foo. Fizz Fizxzzz Fizz
Jigo: Don’t laugh at us Whizzfish. Feel sry for us.
Wizzfizz: And you guys are flipping in time–space trying to catch an event that occurred 130 million years ago. Foo Foo Fa Fa Fa Fo Foo. Fizz Fizxzzz Fizz (Sound of laugh reduces as Wizfish seems to disappear into a different time-space).
Virtual or Reality…?
Jigo: The Alsakan dogs are bouncing along…
Jifo: And I am too. I am sittin’ in the cozy motel room but I feel like I am there with you on high altitude dog ski.
Jigo: Haptics does it for you. Haptics adds the touch and feel to virtual reality .
Jifo: Its hyper reality. The new reality of 2030. Yoo Hoo.
Live action 3D sensory feel.
Jigo: Devices on your body will connect you to the game environment and take total immersion to the next level. 3D games morph into hyper reality. You will be part of the story, part of a game.
Jifo: Don’t get too Immersed. You might not come back…. Hah HA. That’s a joke. For now. Coz… Mix of the real and the virtual is real. You might one day get stuck in a game.
Jigo: Let's live our fantasy Jifo.
Jifo: Wow! Eee. I am getting’ goose bumps already.
C’mon let’s do it.
Here we go into VR: Down the Niagara. Going down a roller coaster and VR headset set to a Niagara fall dive. It’s making my hair stand up. Extreme adventure Feel. – Eeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Wooow Wow Eaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I feel like a sky diver soldier escaping from the enemy jets. Jifo.
Everything seems real.
Jifo: Yippee! What a real Virtual adventure. Yippee.
Bye Bye 2025. That was just Wow.
A.I
Jifo: Its Friday 8 pm 2036. I will take you to my favorite place Jigo.
Mik: Hi
Jifo : That’s Mik the walkin’ chatbot.
Mik: I know what you ordered 1 year 2 months 23 mins and 02 seconds ago..
Jifo: That’s great Mik. Hmmm. Just get us the lasagna and some crispee noodles.
Jifo: Colt is the robot chef. Colt is a precision chef. He’ll prepare the lasagne just the milligram, just the milliliter; just the taste I want, to the centimetre. Ha!
Jigo: What is the whirrin’ sound?
Jifo: That’s Robby the flyin’ spatial robot getting’ our food.
Jifo: Look there Jigo Cooler- the hubot. He has become my best friend. He is humanoid. Almost like you and me.
Jifo: Here, sip this atom drink.
Commentator: Susie the robot singer taps her leg and croons. Key the robot dancer does the extreme gymnast moves. The All Robot band is tuning up on stage. Welcome laaadies n gentlemen to The Artificial Intelligence Shhooooow.
Jifo: My favorite place of the future delivers every time. Precision, aesthetics, choice, emotively aligned and fantasy. The future..soo beautiful.
Jifo: Wait here.. The 4 Drone Jet-Away will fly us 6 miles west where Hubot has booked us the sparkling AI lakeside.
Jigo: I feel our life is gonna to take a twist…
Jifo: Jifo: Really…? Our life is gonna get twisted..? As if it weren't already. Huh Huh
.
Whizzfizz: Hey guys. What are you 2 doin’ in the d era of Artificial intelligence. I kno you have become invisible. Don’t tell me you lost your intelligence too. Feee Feeee Fe Fe Feee.
Jifo: Can’t you laugh like us Heee Heeee He He Heee. Y you have to go like Feee Feeee Fe Fe Feee. Huh!
Jigo: You are supposed to rescue us from the curse of that black witch who was as blaaackk as the blackest black hole.
Whizzfizz: Ok Ok.
You guys do not cross 2025. I will be back. With an answer. To make you visible again. To rescue you from the Curse o the Witch.
Pause…
You know what; I want to see how ugly you two look. Fe Fi Fi Fi Feee.
And whizzfizz away he went, in time-space.
Hyperloop Now. Hyborgs Too
Jigo: Zoom in. Journey starts. Zoom out. Destination reached. I’m in Hyperloop: The Supersonic Train @ 800 miles per hour.
Jifo: It’s such a smooth ride. I can carry along my granny and her pet dog too.
Jigo: Wha! I’m talkin speed and you all you remember is granny! Speed Jifo Speed. Hyperloop is all abt speed.
Jifo : The Coming of the Hyborgs
In a way we might never realize how far we have gone. Coz The start as always is so small.
Jigo : Power hands, speed legs, telescopic eyes, smart chip for a super brain, neural network intertwined thinking sensors, and a human heart.
The IOT flows from North to South and from East to West and so he will know what exactly is happening to hyborgs all over the world.
… 2038.
I’m with a Hyborg.
Hey, You can’t just ditch me like this.
Yeah? Yeah. But I met this Hyborg. He is much more interestin’ than you Alex.
And more talented than you, too.
Ummm. And so good lookin’
Bye.
*****************************************************************
Jifo: I’m hovering on Mars
I’ve let loose that 3D printed Sea urchin mouth. It cuts, chews, bores, drills on Mars.
Squid liker rovers scourge extra terrestrial ocean depths.
Ball like metallic creatures explore extraterrestrial craters.
Robots are landin’ from spacecraft…
Jigo: We are in 2032 Jifo. Let’s get back. Whizzfizz said not to cross 2025.
The Witch Hunt
Jigo: (Screeching sound of fear) Yikes! Look..
Jifo: It’s the witch. She’s spotted us. Run Run. I mean Fly. I mean zoom into a different time space.
Whizzfizz: Jigo , Jifo…I found you the answer to make you visible again. Come quickly to year...
Jigo/Jifo: The witch is almost upon us. Which year Whizzfizz. Which yeaaar…
Whizzfizz: Come to 2017.
Quick. Look: There it is, the event that happened 130 million years ago.
Jio and Jigo watched, making their eyes as wide as they could.
It was a cosmic dance of the stars. The stars merged in a kaleidoscope of colors spewing out Earthloads of gold, silver, platinum and uranium as two dense neutron starts spun, collided and merged into each other 130 million light years ago
The two aliens became visible in an instant.
Whizzfizz: You wanna see the two aliens that became visible. Huh!
Two of you get up. Go to the nearest mirror. You will find two aliens there.
