Video Clip SS220029 (Zoom Into Hubble Ultra Deep Field)
In 2003, Hubble Stared Into A Tiny Patch Of Darkness…
The original HUDF image was taken in 2004, in a tiny patch of the sky in the constellation Fornax. In 2009 the same area was imaged with the new Wide Field Camera 3, in near-infrared wavelengths.
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) image contains as many as 10,000 galaxies of all shapes, sizes, colors, & ages. Taking it required 800 exposures taken over the course of 400 orbits around Earth.
In ground-based photographs, the patch of sky where Hubble was pointed, just one-tenth the diameter of the full Moon, is largely empty. Located in the constellation Fornax, this region is so empty that only a handful of stars within the Milky Way galaxy can be seen.
The image was the deepest view of the universe at the time, looking back to galaxies formed as little as 600 million years after the Big Bang. In staring at this video, you are literally staring back through time.

Time Machine
Andrew Fletcher (Depeche Mode)
Very sad news yesterday of the death of founding member Andrew John Leonard Fletcher (8 July 1961 - 26 May 2022) of influential English electronic band Depeche Mode had passed away from natural causes at the age of 60.
So thought i would post videos for their first three singles in honour of Andrew. Depeche Mode formed in Basildon, Essex, England, in 1980 as Composition Of Sound. When they added singer Dave Gahan, they changed the band name to Depeche Mode. The first time the band played as Depeche Mode was a gig at James Hornsby School in Basildon, May 1980, where Martin Gore andAndrew Fletcher were pupils and the rest is history. The band posted the comment below on their Twitter page.
First Single Dreaming of Me was released on the 20th February 1981 but only reached number 51 on the UK charts and because of this was not included on the debut album Speak And Spell which came out on the 5th October 1981.
Second single New Life was released 13th June 1981 and reached number 11 in the UK charts, the above video shows the band performing the song on UK kids tv show Razzmatazz.
Third single, the band released was Just Can’t Get Enough which hit record stores on the 7th September 1981, it peaked at number 8 in the UK charts, giving them their first top ten hit!!
R.I.P. Andrew John Leonard Fletcher (8 July 1961 - 26 May 2022) sadly gone but your music will live forever!!!

Classics Illustrated #133, H.G Wells “The Time Machine”, July 1956, cover by George Wilson
A fanvideo that I made for Tegomass’ song “Time machine”! (short version)
It’s a beautiful song, please listen & watch the video, it’d mean a lot! ^^
I also included English lyrics!
Had a sudden idea, writing it here so I don’t forget it. Has very little to do with my usual interests.
So, time machines are impossible. As far as we know, time and space are very interconnected and not very flexible. Wormholes and black holes notwithstanding, because they’ll probably kill anyone who enters them. One cannot travel through space without traveling through time, and vice versa. You take a step forward and a moment has passed, however you measure it. You try to stay perfectly still, but that’s impossible. Even if you freeze all of your cells, the electrons on your atoms will spin, spin, spin. The laws of our reality are (seemingly) unbendable. How do we see dinosaurs?
We don’t travel through time, we travel through universes. [Realizing after I wrote all this that that new Professor Peculiar movie just came out… This has nothing to do with that, I was just thinking about time machines]
Proposition takes into account a few things that are sci-fi world-building-y, but so do all time travel stories. The first is the theory of parallel universes. Imagine a universe as an island. Within the confines of that island there are all the laws that govern it, including time and space. An infinite number of islands exist, laid out in a sort of grid. What is between the islands? A sea, or, an inter-universal space. A place where there is no time or space or any other sort of physical law. This inter-universal space (hereafter shortened to IUS) is our ticket.
In the IUS, we can, hopefully, travel to a parallel universe that is exactly the same, except for one detail: the timing of the big bang. We want to travel to the Cretaceous period? Travel to a universe where the universe started 67 million years after ours (add an extra million years, just to be safe. If we travel through the IUS, there should be no time or space. So, when we leave our own universe’s confines, no time will pass and we can travel any distance, because there is no such thing as distance.
Problem: we need time and space and all those other laws of physics to live. We might not die, but it would be nice to keep our molecules existing as we know they ought to be. This is where our “time” machine comes into play.
There are two components: one set that exists in our universe, and one that exists either entirely in the IUS or on the boundary of our universe and the IUS. The one in our universe will be where the crew and all that stuff should be. For the purposes of my own imagination, I imagine it like a bathysphere the size of a research station. The shape doesn’t really matter though, because of the second part.
In the IUS our true technology exists. This will be an outer “shell” that covers the first component and has all the important jobs. How will it do these jobs? How will it be constructed? How does it work? Well, the IUS doesn’t have any laws of physics or anything, so making a machine that can do all of these things shouldn’t be all that hard. Its jobs are as follows:
Create a miniature universe for the crew and research station to inhabit. This allows them to exist without dissolving into nothingness. It should have a slightly tweaked set of rules though. Perhaps time and space exist, but they are frozen in place. That way the crew doesn’t have to experience anything in the IUS and will just experience a tiny “jump” as they enter the target universe.
Travel through the IUS to locate the target universe. There really isn’t a medium through which to travel, and considering there’s no laws for propulsion or anything, this should be simple. All it needs is a universe that matches our specifications.
Enter us out of our universe and into the target one. This is a bit finicky. You see, our planet, our solar system, and pretty much everything is constantly hurtling through what we call space. Which is why every time machine needs to be a space and time machine. If we just traveled through time, we’d end up in the location our planet was 67 million years ago. For all we know, this could be inside a star or, more likely, in the vast nothingness of space, waiting for our solar system to swing by in another few million years. We need our machine to plop us at the right coordinates. Secondly, we need to make sure our landing is safe. When we leave our universe, all of the space where the machine was before becomes a vacuum, as there isn’t anything there anymore. Gas will rush into to fill it. The opposite happens in our target universe. We will be placed into an area where there will already by atoms. When we enter, all of the atoms in the place we pop into will be violently moved out of the way, because they don’t want to overlap with us. This will produce an explosion. It would be preferable to have a gas explosion rather than an explosion of, say, rocks, or tree, or dinosaur. We could make the research station secondarily enclosed in a rocket-ship, but those things are expensive and dangerous. We’re already sending a crew to another universe, why risk a rocket fuel explosion?
When we get to the target universe, the crew and everything they bring will be subjected to the new laws of physics, so time will pass. Similarly, time will pass in our universe. Though we’ve left it and travelled through the IUS, it is still doing its thing. No time passes in the IUS, but, if the laws of physics are the same in the target, the same amount of time passing in that one should match our own.
And then bam! Dinosaurs.
The ethical questions surrounding this are, uh, complicated. We don’t have the risk of paradoxes, since this is a different universe from ours, but we will be changing the course of events on the target universe’s Earth. Will that be fair? But, again going back to parallel universe theory, someone else has probably already done it. Have they done it to our universe already?
Idk. I’m not a philosopher. Or a physicist, if that wasn’t clear already.
Very scientific diagram to illustrate my idea:
“Did we have to bring Kakarot? All he does is complain!”

THE TIME MACHINE BY HG WELLS
BOOK TO MOVIE REVIEWS AND COMPARISONS!
Book:
I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Time Machine by HG Wells. It was very reminiscent of most classic novels I have read. I however had to continually remind myself that this novel is the literature that inspired so many other time travel pieces of work. It was easy to think that this novel was like another time travel novel or movie like Back to the Future when it was in fact the other way around. H.G Wells as an author is known for his science fiction tales, like Journey to the Centre of the Earth and The Invisible Man among many others. I could see how someone reading this in the year 1895 would find it so revolutionary. That being said I can appreciate the history and inspirations that occurred from this novel. Being someone, however born literally 100 years after the publication of this piece I personally found it slow and boring compared to the time travel literature written today with such in depth plot lines and complexity. The main character was dull and the story when the time traveller goes into the future didn’t seem thrilling or suspenseful. The main character was calculating and seemed detached from his own story. I really don’t mean to put this down as a classic. It was an easy read and I can sympathize with people who love this book a lot. Overall I gave it a 3.5/5 stars and would recommend it to someone looking to expand their reading to classics and/or science fiction.
Movie: (1960)
The movie starts with the second dinner in George’s home, the one where he has returned from his travels to tell his friends the story. Then we flashback to the first dinner where they are chatting about the 2nd, 3rd and 4th dimensions. George shows his model of the time machine and sends it forward. Once his comrades leave, he decides to leave on his time machine that night. He leaves on December 31 1899. In the novel he observes from his time machine what passes on around him but does not leave the machine until he reaches the year 802701. In the movie however he stops first in 1917, 1940 and 1966 he witnesses WW1 and 2 and in 1966 there is a huge bomb and volcanic eruption. I’m assuming they added these important events in to show the ‘fall’ of humans as we know them. The novel being written in 1895, wouldn’t have included actual events like WW1 and 2 because they hadn’t happened yet. Once he stops in the time where the story takes place it goes by very quickly in the novel he spends 8 days in 802701 and in the movie he seems to only be there a day and a half. The Eloi who are described as being small humanoid pale hairless beings, look like any other human in the movie and they speak English, when they are supposed to have their own language. George is rather frustrated with them because they have no interest in learning or their history. There is an insta-love interest in Weena who I imagined as more of a child in the book. Right away we find out that the Morlocks are the Eloi’s keepers, Weena says “They give us the food we eat and the Clothes we wear”.
There are these talking rings that explain how the separate species started in what I think was supposed to be the porcelain museum. Soon these sirens that sound like bomb sirens go off and all the Eloi flock to the Sphinx where some are taken to be eaten. George saves the Eloi and tries to get them to fight back. He destroys the Morlocks underworld and finds his time machine. It’s a trap the Morlocks attack and he escapes. In the novel he goes forward and observes the end of time, but in the movie he goes right back, tells his story and then returns to the Eloi. I don’t think book George would’ve gone back because he never destroyed the Morlock and Weena dies.
I would give the movie 2/5 stars.
