What Would Sci-Fi Look Like In Real Life?

Film-makers have created a lot of cool films over the years, some with cool graphic effects or creepy alien invasions. But how would they work if they WERE real life? Read this article to raise your brain levels up and outsmart your parents...

The classic Star Wars character C3P0 is not much different to any other humanoid robot. Instead of bones, robots have lots of moveable segments attached to one another. Each segment is fitted together with special metal ‘joints’, which can spin, turn, twist and much more when you program them to do so. All these special parts make the robot really flexible.

In the American film Back To The Future, a professor invents a time-travelling car powered by plutonium. Based on this, the british chemist and inventor Professor Flux, PhD invented a time-travel machine. Powered by Ghlucoshianian Acid, a substance only found on Saturn, this incredible invention had to have cleaning machines to concentrate the acid, because it would horrible mutate humans if it wasn’t.
You may not think of it as a sci-fi film, but, yes, Jurrasic Park is. Although it’s not been invented yet, a man invents a machine that clones dinosaurs and prehistoric plants, on the Costa Rican island of Isla Nublar.

In the film TRON, Kevin Flynn is a software engineer.
When he gets pulled into a vidiogame at his local arcade, Kevin is tasked with defeating an evil program damaging the computer.

Toby News has taken a look at Professor Flux’s new invention, which can zap you into any computer. Like all his other inventions, the machine is powered by concentrated Ghlucoshianian Acid. When it hits you, it shrinks the cells of your body and then pulls you into the machine. When you points it at any computer and presses a button, it blasts you in a beam of acid inside any hole.

In the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, professionals picked up a mysterious alien signal. When astronauts board their rocket to find it, the ship’s computer goes mad and tries to kill them. “This is impossible!” says Top-rank scientist, chemist and inventor Professor Flux, PhD. “Unless, of course, if you happen to  be me and have built an AI KillingBot, but that’s very unlikely.”

In the fil ET, a small group of alien botanists secretly visit Earth under cover of night to gather plant specimens in a Californian forest. When government agents appear on the scene, the aliens flee in their spaceship (or UFO), but in their haste, one of them is left behind. Ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio A. Tsoukalos speaks to Toby News after seeing the film in the cinemas. “Whenever I see this classic film, something always feels strange. Maybe, ET was inspired off of a real sighting of aliens?”

In The Terminator, a killer robot is sent back in time from the future where robots have taken over the world. Its mission is to kill the woman who will be the mother of the leader of the human uprising. But the humans from the future also send a person back in time to try to stop the killer robot.

Night Of The Pasta: Part Four

The so-called ice-cream van got out of its parking space and drove off after Thomas and Dawn at high speed. In case you didn’t read last week’s story, Dawn is Tom’s newly adopted dog that helped him get out of a flaming pit. One of the spy pastas pulled a mini-megaphone out of the roof and called into it. “You can’t hide forever!” she said. Suddenly, Agent Dicker spotted something strange. “The rockets already left!” he exclaimed, but before he could close his mouth, the road in front of him started to give way. Steam poured out whilst a shiny machine flew upwards slowly. “The rocket!” Dicker shouted. “Launching in 3... 2... 1... BLAST OFF!” came the announcer, and the force of the boosters pushed the spy car backwards. Meanwhile, Thomas and Dawn were confused. “There’s no signs!” moaned Tom, and looked at Dawn for help. She barked in confusion, but ran off into the distance. “Dawn! Dawn! Dawn the Dog! Wait up!” Thomas almost caught up, but lost Dawn. “Great. Curse you, Martians!” he e...
