[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 17710, member: 175144"] Two Olds suggestion that adults had crossed into a world of secrecy from the younger generation has been behind a number of Sci Fi stories, some brushing the idea, some turning it into a horror story, and some using it as the main theme. The thought of youth having a less closed mind on matters has always been a debate that continues to run, and is based on the ability to keep incoming information from the senses from being ignored, or suppressed , no matter how incredulous or rediculous that information might be. Logans Run went down the adventurer route, to allow Logan and the stunning Jenny Agutter (and that dress - mmm!) to traverse passageways outside the city. They Live went into horror to show what was really out there with a simple set of polaroid spectacles The ideas of other worlds and other civilisations on our doorstep can be pure fiction - stories abound with the idea of people living inside the Earth (Jules Verne) , on an alternative world (DoppelGanger), or even on our planet, putting right all the mistakes within the time continuum (one Twilight Zone episode, and its parody - Time Bandits). Sci Fi boundaries are limitless, what makes a great script is the ability to ensure the story has the reader/viewer thinking there is a thread of truth in it, and may be more than just abstract logic. Unfortunately thats where the limit lies when putting across most ideas to the masses. Most will not read a story that has no grasp on reality as it is impossible to comprehend, and comes over as gibberish, or mental instability of the writer. Time and space are fine on their own, but the observers comprehension has to be included as a third platform, before any humans are able to traverse into new parts of the available universe (not in terms of distance).
