18 DAYS: THE MAHBHARATA RETOLD (CONCEPT NOTES by GRANT MORRISON)

Image
This new version of the Mahbharata is set in fantastic, mythic time, at the end of the Dwapara Yuga (Copper Age) and the beginning of the fallen, corrupt Kali Yuga, the Age of Iron. Although historically, the epic is generally thought to refer to events occurring as recently as 9 BC and as long ago as 15 BC (depending on which account you favour), I’d like to place the action much further back into a more fantastical Indian past so that we can take full advantage of the possibilities for action and spectacle on a scale rarely scene. This is like a psychedelic The Lord of the Rings with Star Wars technology. BHARAT ...

The Future of Energy: A Realist's Roadmap to 2050

Which technologies will finally free us from oil? The Future of Energy This December, when representatives from 170 countries meet at the United Nations climate talks in Copenhagen to replace the expiring Kyoto climate treaty, the smart money predicts unprecedented collaboration. American political change coupled with spiking carbon dioxide levels could inspire a communal project on a scale not seen since World War II. A consensus, backed by science, is emerging among the international community that by 2050 we need to reduce emissions of C02, methane and other greenhouse gases to approximately 80 percent lower than they were in 1990. It will mean a wholesale reinvention of the global energy economy; anything less could result in catastrophe. Here's how we'll get there. To reach this goal will require a two-pronged approach.

Where did the Universe Come From? Part 4: "If you can read this sentence, I can prove to you that God exists"

See this blog I just posted, that you're reading right now?  This blog post is proof of the existence of God.    Yeah, I know, that sounds crazy.  But I'm not asking you to believe anything just yet, until you see the evidence for yourself.  All I ask is that you refrain from disbelieving while I show you my proof.  It only takes a minute to convey, but it speaks to one of the most important questions of all time.    So how is this post proof of the existence of God?    This post you're reading contains letters, words and sentences.  It contains a message that means something. As long as you can read English, you can understand what I'm saying.     You can do all kinds of things with this blog.  You can read it on your computer screen.  You can print it out on your printer.  You can read it out loud to a friend who's in the same room as you are.  You can call your friend a...
