Sci-fi cadet

Honnestly, I think I could be a sci-fi cadet on here. I have over ten shows and besides 'Adrian Monk', 'Friends' and 'The Animals of Farthing Wood', they are all sci-fi. The multiple categorization is a good thing to describe each show, but this also causes 'errors'. This is not the right term, but it is not the fairest thing in my opinion. As a huge sci-fan, I would love to have that emblem !

The Animals of Farthing Wood

Yep. The animated series. I just saw that there is something about it on TV.com after randomly checking someone's profile on the forum. I was totally obsessed about the books and animated series when I was seven/eight years old. During the summer of '95, which I spent in my family on my mother's side in Belgium, I even had my mother and aunt call my father who was still in France for his work to ask him to get one of the magazines because we could not find it in France. Unfortunately, our usual seller was away on vacations, and not all magazine shop had the magazine, especially as time had passed since that week's one was out -and the copies they had were sold out- so my father visited several of shops, even in another town, until he found it, and sent it to me by mail so I could get it the same week. See how Aspies can get obsessed about something ! ;o) The month after, I got a telescope and my new fascination was the Moon...

A place to live.

I just found a place to live in a student house. It is small but you do not live alone, it is downtown, and only about half an hour on foot from the IUT and a bit less by car or bus. Now, I can focus on making my short film, the run and writing reviews. I will add three tonight.

Admitted in Technology University.

I am on vacations until mid-september. Then, I will start university to study astronomy. Right now, I am looking for a place to live. This could be useful once there ! ;-) Summer shows : Stargate-SG1 (second part of season eight), Stargate Atlantis (second part of second one), Lost (second part of season one), Monk.

Is Time Travel possible ?

Time travels are a recurring question in sci-fi shows and movies. But scientifically, is it possible ? In our daily life, we consider space as a volume (three-dimensional) and space as linear (one-dimensional). If space is linear, then the past happens before the present, and the present happens before the future. In such a case, we should make a difference between travelling into the past and travelling into the future. Travelling into the future is possible : we are all the time doing so. Travelling faster is easy would be possible if we had the energy to go at the right speed. Travelling into the past is simply impossible because it would change the past. There would have to be a first time, which would make two futures. But two futures can not exist physically in the same universe. Now, if we consider time as a volume, then we could consider than every event is present at the same instant in spacetime, so in this case, travelling in time would be (virtually at least) possible.

What shows I like.

My absolute biggest interest being the Universe, I particularly enjoy sci-fi shows, but I expect them to be realistic and based on facts. For instance, shows such as Stargate-SG1 and Stargate : Atlantis are both based on facts, and the sci-fi parts are credible enough in general. The same goes for the first part of Sliders until the mid-3rd season.
