TIMES, TIME, AND HALF A TIME. A HISTORY OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM.

Comments on a cultural reality between past and future.

This blog describes Metatime in the Posthuman experience, drawn from Sir Isaac Newton's secret work on the future end of times, a tract in which he described Histories of Things to Come. His hidden papers on the occult were auctioned to two private buyers in 1936 at Sotheby's, but were not available for public research until the 1990s.

Robots: First Variety, Second Variety

Second Variety by Philip K. Dick.

Those of you who have read the story Second Variety (first published in the May 1953 issue of Space Science Fiction magazine; the story is available online here) will appreciate this clip about new robots being built for the US Army that remarkably mimic biodynamics.

Have a look at the eerie and impressive movements of this quadrupedal pack robot, made by Boston Dynamics.  This is an updated video from March 2010.



Big Dog Robot, Boston Dynamics.

    Yeah except that Dick's terminators made up a nuclear family - a wounded soldier, a little boy with a teddy bear, and a pretty girl.
