Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey
A review of Leonard F. Wheat's book on a triple allegory in 2001, a movie that tells three hidden stories Homer's The Odyssey; a spoofy tale based on sciencefiction writer arthur C. clarke's idea of man-machine symbiosis; and Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra.

Extractions: According to Leonard F. Wheat, Stanley Kubrick's 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey tells three hidden stories: Homer's The Odyssey ; a spoofy tale based on science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke's idea of man-machine symbiosis; and Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra Also sprach Zarathustra , 1883-1891, 4 volumes). Critics attacked for "its ponderously slow, boring plot development; its lack of character development; its confusing exposition; its substitution of special effects for story; and its enigmatic, frustratingly symbolic, surrealistic conclusion." 's champions "have countered by hailing its plot sophistication (no Buck Rogers stuff here); its substitution of concepts for characters as dramatic substance; its imaginative use of symbols; its stimulating ambiguities; and its breathtaking visual images, superbly enhanced by classical music." Wheat concludes that the admirers seem to be winning since Kubrick's film has been rated among the best films of all times by polls conducted by the British as well as the American Film Institute. Wheat asserts that 's ambiguities and mysteries can be explained. For him, the movie is a triple allegory, three allegories (metaphorically or symbolically told hidden stories) combined in one surface story. Wheat writes: "Kubrick's first allegory is a retelling, in far more detail than has been imagined, of Homer's epic poem

If anybody ought to know a little about 2001, it's science fiction novelist arthur C. clarke who, after all, wrote the book. And clarke says the new millennium begins 1 January, 2001. Period. Because the Western calendar starts with Year 1 and not Year 0, the 21st century and Third Millennium do not begin until January 1, 2001, he said in a statement issued to the press on Thursday. So just go ahead and guzzle the cheap stuff again this year. Wired News

Extractions: The science fiction writer, Arthur C Clarke, has been knighted, more than two years after the title was conferred on him. UK High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, Linda Duffield, presented the "award of Knight Bachelor" to the novelist at a ceremony in Colombo, where he resides. The investiture ceremony was delayed until Sir Arthur was cleared of charges of paedophilia, brought against him after an article published in the Sunday Mirror. Sir Arthur has always maintained his innocence. He was due to travel to London earlier this year to receive the award from the Queen, but was unable to do so because of post polio syndrome.

BBC NEWS | In Depth | Festival Of Science | Arthur C Clarke Demands Cold Fusion
Author and visionary Sir arthur C clarke says there may be somethingin cold fusion or other anomalous sources of energy.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_depth/sci_tech/2000/festival_of_science/919953.stm

Extractions: By BBC New Online's Jonathan Amos The author and visionary Sir Arthur C Clarke says society has made a huge mistake in rejecting out of hand the idea that cold fusion may be possible. And he mocked editors and journalists at the British Association's Festival of Science for not giving the technology serious consideration. He said the age of fossil fuels was coming to an end and society needed to find new sources of energy. Cold fusion or other "anomalous sources of energy" might just turn out to be the answer, he said. Cold fusion first hit the headlines in 1989 when researchers Martin Fleishmann and Stanley Pons suggested it was possible to generate heat through the fusion of atoms at normal temperatures. But when leading scientists failed to reproduce their results and Fleishmann and Pons retracted some of their early claims, cold fusion was dismissed as nonsense. Crooks and cranks However, the research has gone on, with little funding and largely underground, and Sir Arthur said the results coming out of some labs demanded attention.
Arthur C. Clarke History Lesson: A Modern Allegory Of The Cave
Comparison of clarke's works with a modern allegory of 'The Cave' by Plato.
http://www.lesekost.de/HHL59Z.htm

Extractions: Throughout the centuries students have labored at Greek and Latin texts. Plato's dialogues in particular have never ceased to arouse debates and controversial opinions. In a well-known exaggeration the British mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead said: "The safest general characterisation of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato" (9). If one knows a bit of Plato's work it is either the praise of love in The Symposium or the Allegory of the Cave in Book VII of The Republic. This allegory is one of the most debated philosophical stories and one which is disputed anew among every generation. In contrast to the centuries' old philosophy of Plato, science fiction is a comparatively new literary form. It is not always in great esteem within academic circles. However, some science fiction authors do not overwhelm their stories with amazing technical developments but tell stories to ponder on. Often they pick up one of the eternal dreams and give it a modern scientific treatment. In Arthur C. Clarke's science fiction story "History Lesson," one looks at a specific problem, already dealt with in the Allegory of the Cave, from a different point of view. A thorough comparison of "History Lesson" with Plato's famous allegory shows astonishing parallels. Besides its comic twist the story also supports Plato's idea of the deception of evidence.

SPACEGUARD REVISITEDConvocation Address BySir Arthur C Clarke
From the Space Frontier Foundation, convocation address by Sir arthur C clarke, May 1998.
http://www.space-frontier.org/PROJECTS/ASTEROIDS/aclarke_address_may26-98.html

Extractions: If you spend a few hours at night under a perfectly clear sky - which, alas, I haven't done for years - you are almost certain to see a few meteors sliding silently across the stars; there are times, indeed, when you may see hundreds. One such occasion is due in November 1999: a Space Shuttle launch has been rescheduled, and the owners of communications satellites are already rushing to take out insurance. For though that 'shining furrow', as Tennyson called it, is caused by an object not much larger than a pea burning up as it enters the atmosphere, that has enough energy to damage, or even destroy, delicate orbiting equipment costing hundreds of millions of dollars. Tennyson, who a century and a half ago saw 'the heavens filled with commerce' could never have imagined that one day this would be literally true.
