Welcome to Eden

"Welcome to Eden"
As the bright spots slowly cleared from my vision, I found myself in the centre of a huge dome. Behind me I could see an enormous gate, in a strange glowing material.
I looked around the room for the source of the voice, but everything seemed completely empty.
I went back to the gate, to check out the source of the glowing, but, to my surprise, my hands went straight through it, without leaving any trace I had ever touched it.
At least the floor seemed solid enough and, though the walls of the dome was only visible as a reflection of the glow from the gate, they raised no immediate cause for concern either.
"Hello?" I tried, noticing the absence of echo.
"Welcome to Eden." A light flickered for a moment. Suddenly an old man appeared before me, smiling from ear to ear.
"I am the caretaker."
"Eden?" I asked.
"Upon your arrival Eden was chosen as a temporary name, given it's estimated meaning, in your vocabulary."
"Meaning what?" Not believing in any religion made me a bit wary of this development.
"This is, to our best knowledge, the oldest matter dominated universe in existence, this is the first recorded multi verse bubble. And this is where the last inhabitants left, searching for a new home."
"And you are the caretaker?"
"Yes."
"Of what?"
"This bubble is shielded from the development of space around it. This entire universe has been void of biological life for a long time.
I monitor and relay information about the current development of this universe, and on occasion I help out stranded travelers. at the current rate the last star will ignite before I get another visit."
"Help? Can you get me home?" I felt the hope flare inside.
"That depends on your knowledge of your own universe, but I can promise you, that this is not the most exciting place to spend eternity."
"Okay. What do you need from me?"
"What is the answer to life, the universe and everything?"
For a moment I was completely stunned. "42?"
"Seems reasonable." The caretaker smiled as the gate came to life with a low hum.
"Is it that easy?" I asked perplexed.
"If your calculations are correct, this should get you home."
"And what if it was just a line from a fictional story? What if I don't know?"
"Then at least it is somewhere other than here, and no amount of eternity will get you closer to the answer, you will just have to hope or believe."

So this may be new to some of you
I have a story
I want to tell
And I am doing so
Little by little

This is meant to be the resolution
The last page before the end

Earlier this year I posted my point of no return on 'Fyldepennen'
I guess the reason I am still writing
Is to give you guys a little insight
And to ask for help
I pretty much got the story
In my head
And when I feel like it
I guess it comes out okay
On paper
The thing is
I am not sure I am satisfied with 'okay'
What I write
Is what I see
In my head
But I have a feeling there might be a lot more to tell about the places I visit
If anyone fell like writing a picture of a timeless gate
Frozen in space
I'll buy you a cookie

Soon™ to come:
Near future
(At)Lantis
Post apocalypse
Utopia
Giant ants
Space
A variety of poor excuses to rationalise travel between universes
And a number of wise helpers (all me of cause)

I don't really see this becoming a big hit in like ever, but I would really like to tell my vision for the future, before I get to old to remember :D

Homo Sapiens' Civilisation: Quarks to Quasars

So I had a thought
And when i got home, it seemed like, someone else got it as well
How can we optimize the earth?
How can we make the best of it?
For all of us?
It started out with me being curious about
what Denmark
should be producing
to make the best of it
I personally think the heads on the castle are right
in that we need to create
a steady supply
of smart people
but what should our land be used for?
What will give us the most profit for our hunk of land?
Then I got the idea of trying it out in settelers
make some advanced rules
like what Denmark actually gets
like
sunshine
and limestone in our underground
and waves
and whatever
but do it for the whole world :D
like in the desert they get a crap ton of sunshine hours
I think ^^
And up north I guess they at least got a steady supply of clean water

We should figure out where it makes sense to live :D
I primarily think of moving to the oceans
but why do we still drive on the ground?
It makes so much more sense
to move above it
or below it
above it you don't have to deal with mountains
and deer
and kids
and shit
and below ground
you don't have to deal with snow
and water
and kids
and shit
makes the road building much easier as well
just dig in straight lines
and then make roundabouts for every intersection
no need for you to pilot it then either ^^
I got the idea that maybe
if we plan on feeding 13 billion people pretty soon
turning the planet into a green house
might not be the worst idea ever ^^
then just deal with the rest :D
I mean if we could just pick the water from the sky
when its over the oceans
where it gets stormy
and scary
and put it back over the mountains
where it can rain down on the slopes
for us to pick up when we need
or just on the fields
and forests

So when I got home, I saw a post, from 'From Quarks to Quasars', about humanity's role in the destruction of the world - and the hubris of doomsday prophecies.
Fun stuff :D - ending with "So technically, it is nearly (if not entirely) impossibly for humans to destroy the Earth.

However, our inability to destroy the planet really isn't the ultimately point. It seems all too easy to assert that we cannot hope to really have a significant influence on life, the planet, the universe–anything–and through these statements justify our irresponsible actions. ...]

I think it's kind of poetic.

While I can see a potential problem between my liberation-of-humidity proposal, and wildlife groups. I completely agree, that we should try to be as nice about it as possible, to everyone else on the planet :D - and we can at least try, to make life, for the species that decide they like the way we run things, better for all of us.

I actually think the article is really good, as always ^^ - if you don't, you really should, follow 'From Quarks to Quasars' on Facebook, or Twitter... something :D
