MK Warlock maybe this is showing from the lack of competence of mankind. Maybe it shows our dependence on the brains we have created to calculate for us.

probably even quicker since human growing is exponential

Perhaps travel will take time. All experiments done agree with special relativity. It says that travel at speed of light is impossible and traveling faster would enable traveling back in time, even if hyperspace or any other shortcut is used.

Leonard Nimoy did a reading as narrator with others actors reading the character parts. It's on KZbin

I Like Dirt damn right

Will Smith is a nice actor though ... :3

What's wrong with Will Smith?

This guy predicted YT Rewind 2018.

Yall that's hot

+patmb2011 It seemed like the young lady behind the desk couldn't speak much English.

honestly he should get the hint....he's just a showman. And there's something about the British nature for just wanting everything and thinking they can understand it by looking up a definition in a book that is just fucking stupid.

+Murray Melander That's how it's written in the story.

I believe it's a reference to the fact that we are biological computers.

I've always tried to remind people that we are basically biological machines/computers.

no dudes, it's one of the computer operators at 03:55

Even in the 1960s, the women who verified mathematical calculations for space orbit.... people .... were called computers.

Just because he didn't use aliens in his works, doesn't mean he stuck to christian doctrines and myths. The authors of The Expanse don't really use robots in their stories, since they find stories about robots boring. On the same note Asimov was probably just more interested in human/robot stories than alien stories.

Death violates the 1st rule of thermodynamics. It was proven to be false when recently science exceeded absolute zero and instead of a complete cessation of vibration as was hypothesized, the molecules become super excited and formed a sort of superheated ice, same as had been observed when the upper limits were tested and surpassed. Death is an illusion we made up to keep people from believing they might be something more than advertised. There are those who know the truth yet say nothing and decide to explot it instead.Everything is resonant frequency, energy. It cannot be created or destroyed it can only change or transfer. Stars are not infinite, man is but an imperceptible fragment of the creator. But every piece of an infinite subject is infinite. It is unfathomably vast and we are literally incapable of creating a formula or series of words that could adequately define it. It is unknowable, just like the creator within whose infinite mind all find their place in the Universe. But every fraction of the infinite is infinite no matter how small or fragmented. Hate to break it to you man, but you're eternal and infinite light, trapped in a carbon and water based matter. My condolences.

@@ianbortolotti6520 where did you read that absolute zero thing? I want to check it out

You are amazing.

Thanks random internet person, you are amazing too!

You have that kind of face that guides one to notions of immortality, where architects discover parthenons of frozen music, and wizards dance in the karakoram, ha, yeah; something along those lines.

morgan blackwood ayyyyy

morgan blackwood woa thanks, i guess

The robot is essentially asked, "How can we rebuild parts of the universe we use up?" to which he does not know the answer of until the very end, where all matter is gone, and he uses himself to replicate the big bang, this creating matter.

Bishop Helt, I fully understood that, it's quite obvious. What I do not understand is how this short story is so claimed and overrated by so many people when it is so easy to come up with, not mind-blowing at all, nor do it is that well structured. Isaac Asimov has, by far, better work to look up to, as well as thousands of people. It's just so lame.

*****, sure, Isaac was definitely a visioneer, not disagreeing with that, nor did I saw the ending coming (not that I even tried to). But I just think it's way overrated; I was looking for short stories with impressive twists or astonishing endings, and I found this one extensively recommended, at first I did not recognize the title (maybe due to the fact the first time I read it, it did no cause me any huge surprise neither I found it that profound or simply I wasn't that much into it), at some point it hit me I already knew this one, looked at the author, an remember that at the time I read it I didn't knew him or his work, now I do, and I honestly think he has done much better. I wanted to hear him to see if his way of telling it bringed something special to the table... not really, I don't think so. And, as for a short story with a surprise ending, I just don't see this one as a big deal at all. There is way better, so I don't like it in that particular classification.

Garage Sale some people can just be touched by something. its clear that you cant.. so just move on, look for whatever pleases you.

*****, I was just establishing my discontent with this short story as a recommendation regarding what I was looking for at the moment. Nothing really much important, I have moved on... you're the one replying to a three month old comment only to demonstrate your disapproval of my opinion in matter you're not quite part of, or at least are not taking into consideration -which you could understand if you would had read my explanation as to why, not while being in a defensive mode - and, of course, to attack me in a passive-aggressive way. Move on, buddy.
