Time to get deep.
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
Indeed. Hamlet's admonishment of Horatio's rationalist view of the supernatural encounter he experienced in seeing the ghost of his father is just as relevant today as it was in 1604 when Shakespeare released the full version of the play. The bottom line: there are things we will never fully understand. That's tough for our modern, rational minds to accept.
Mysteries. Enigmas. Conundrums. Our universe is full of them. Consider that what we don't know or understand today is exponentially greater than the sum of our collective human knowledge. What does that mean for our future as species? In 2000 years, what will humanity know? What will we be? A terrestrial species? Probably not. An interstellar species? Likely. A pan-galactic species? Perhaps.
If that is the future of humanity, then what mysteries will we solve first? How will we reconcile relativity and quantum mechanics? How will we improve our frail human bodies to withstand the rigors of space travel? How will we harness energy, gravity, and time?
Big questions.
The 2,000-year story arc of The Airship Andalusia suggests one possible future where humanity has dreamt large -- solving some of these mysteries (with a little help from the Forerunners). Fans of The Airship Andalusia are familiar with the three periods of human evolution from a terrestrial to a pan-galactic species in the story arc: the Aftermath, the Directorate, and the Sovereign Ott Empire. As we have remarked in previous posts, telling a story of this size is challenging. With nearly ten years of storytelling, we've only just established the basic framework and timeline for the story arc. We could work for two more decades and still just scratch the surface of the massive space-born obelisk that is The Airship Andalusia.
Don't worry. We'll keep working. There are more enigmas to reveal; more mysteries to solve. Telling the story is just as much fun as reading or watching it unfold.
Here's a piece featuring one of our favorite AI-only characters, Mitzi. We've enlisted her help in giving us a peek at the periods that comprise the 2,000-year story arc.
Enjoy!
