UnScience Fiction

Or UnSciFi, if you will. Basically, it's something that I created because I was bored. To summarize, I was bored, so, I came up with an idea for a story that is humorous, ironic, predestined, fiction, and with unscientific scientific "facts" that govern the universe (if you still don't understand, think, Douglas Adams, but better). It started out with this thought:
What if there was a book that told the story of the "Big Bang", but from the angle that it was something different than scientists thought. Then, I thought, it could involve my "infinite plain of scale/cellular universe theory." as I have just decided to call it (that's the one where the world is just a body in a bigger world that is a cell in a bigger one and so on and so forth, while our cells are just like humans inside us, and they have smaller "cells" which are like them and so on and so forth....). Now, at first, I was a little greived at the fact that scientists have now discovered that there is indeed an end to the universe....but that it keeps expanding, but then I thought, of course, that works too! Because as cells, we wouldn't have any idea of any outside source, and the body we are in would keep "growing". Hehe...so, anyway, I was really happy about this, and still am, but it gets even better...

So, I started to think, what if some outside force got inside (like germs or something) and tried to take over. Now, of course even the memory of such a force would be felt for ages, but as cells, we probably wouldn't think of it as an outside invasion. It would seem like something within.

Then my mind wandered for a bit...can't remember on what...but I remember something about dancing gnomes....anyway, that somehow led to my next great idea.

I started to think about different SciFi books I thought could've been really cool but in fact were realized very poorly. This led to my remembering a very little known book that I read part of but thought so bad that I never finished....called, "Roma Eterna"...basically, it's plot was this: "What if Rome never fell?" Unfortunately that's as far as the author thought into it.... However, I thought about...and I realized how well this would fit in with this idea I'd been having all this time. Romulus and Remus supposedly were raised by wolves....wow, this really is a rather unknown beginning.....I mean, how would the ancient peoples really know? What if the wolves were really the invaders...or, just romulus and remes were....and then they fouded the greatest civilization to threaten every other civilization, and hold the world in it's power for nearly a thousand years...

This would then lead naturally into some cool sequel entitled "Rema Aeterna"....(notice the "correct" Latin spelling of "aeterna")....about either Remus never dying, or returning, or both.

And of course it would all be full of wit and humor and all sorts of cool twists and facts that would make one think, and be altogether awesome.....so awesome in fact that I'll probably never get around to it....but anyway, it's still a cool idea, and UnSciFi was born, because of it.

I think you should do math instead of typing a bunch of random stuff on here. ;)
