The writers of the last couple hundred years, especially the 40s, 50s, and 60s, are the ones we remember most when considering the history of space travel in stories. But actually, the idea of mankind traveling through space is much much older. Ancient in fact. There are Hindu stories from the Ramayana, which is one of two major Sanskrit epics, depicting flying machines capable of destroying cities with advanced weapons of mass destruction and traveling into space. These date back to the 4th and 5 Centuries between 300 AD and 500 AD.

SPOILERS! In Dan Simmons's epic science fiction saga there are Several planets known to be Labyrinthine worlds. The Labyrinthine worlds were always similar to each other. Each world was earth-like. The Hegemony has a method of measuring Earth-Like worlds known as the solmev scale, each of the labyrinth worlds measured at least 7.9 out of 10 on the scale.. They always circled a G-type Star. The Labyrinthine worlds were all tectonically dead, meaning the continents did not shift as they did on earth. And below the surface of each of the labyrinthine worlds, a minimum and 10 kilometers deep were systems of elaborate tunnels. Thousands of kilometers of tunnels catacombed the entirety of each world. The Tunnels of each world were exactly 30 meters square and had perfectly smooth walls. Since the Higera, mankind's great exodus from earth and into space, more than 8,000 worlds had been explored and out of those 9 worlds were found to have Labyrinths. Though it is mentioned multiple times in the series that there are 9 labyrinthine worlds, only three of them are ever actually named. Armaghast, Svoboda, and Hyperion. Many planetary archeo historians devoted their lives to the study of the labyrinths.

Spoilers! Seventy Bikura survived the initial crash landing on the world of Hyperion. Several centuries after this, the 67-year-old Jesuit Priest, Paul Dure would encounter the Bikura after being exiled to the Outcast world of Hyperion. The details of what happened to father Dure on Hyperion are recounted by father Hoyt, during the beginning of the pilgrimage to Hyperion which takes place in the first book in the series. Dure’s fanatic loyalty to his faith had been the reason for his exile; he had attempted to create false evidence for a Pre-human Christian society of the Labyrinthine World of Armaghast. He had falsified archaeological records during his time researching the Labyrinthes of Armaghast. Hyperion was his punishment. Early on during his time on Hyperion, he had paired with a man named Tuk, who would be his guide to the high country of Hyperion. Eventually, they made it to their destination, The Cleft, where he had intended to set up an ethnological research station. The flame forest near the cleft made it unreachable for most of the Hyperion year, and the region was believed to be uninhabited by most, but father Dure knew of the Bikura and had intended to study them in the context of the retrograde cultural effects of their extreme isolation over adaptation and inbreeding. But when Dure eventually finds the Bikura they are not what he expected...

Warning! Some book spoilers! It has often been said that nature is cruel. All life on Earth is believed to have evolved from the same single-celled organism. Over the course of 3.5 Billion years those single cells, diversified, multiplied, became multiple celled organisms, developed organs, bones, and limbs. Life eventually filled every niche on the planet, each species learning to survive in its own way while constantly being tested by mother nature. But the cruelest fact about life has always been that in order to survive it must feed upon itself. Life consumes life. And there are many ways of doing it. A butcherbird is a type of bird found mostly in African and Eurasian countries. It is a type of bird known as a Shrike. Once a Shrike captures its prey it impales the body upon sharp thorns or spikes. This allows the Shrike to bit by bit, tear the flesh from the creature it has captured, eating it in small chunks. These birds are also known to be territorial, they defended their claimed areas against rivals. The Idea of a Shrike has been used in fiction multiple times. But Dan Simmons’ Hyperion in my opinion makes the most interesting use of the attributes of the Shrike bird, within a fictional creature.

The word Kralizec does not appear in the Dune saga until the book Children of Dune. It is spoken of both as a terrible fate waiting for humankind in its future and as a rite of passage for the species, an inevitability that would test humankind to its limits but in the end, leave them with the ability to survive indefinitely within an often malignant universe. Paul Atreides Jihad killed more than 60 billion humans, but the price of Kralizec would be far greater.

MEGA SPOILERS AHEAD! A curse is an invocation, a prayer that calls for harm to fall upon another. We all pretty much know what curses are, but today I want to talk about curses thematically, in the context of Frank Herbert’s Dune of course. Now before we get into the meat of this we have to discuss a small bit of Greek mythology, specifically one particular dynasty described in pseudo-greek history. The house of Atreus. It is no secret that Frank Herbert took some degree of influence from Greek mythology with his creation of House Atreides in Dune. House Atreides like the House of Atreus is continually plagued with misery and tragedy. Nearly all members of house Atreides that we encounter in the book are met with tragic ends.

Dune has long been regarded as one of the greatest and most influential science fiction series. Everything from Star Wars, to Star Trek, to the Expanse has been in some way inspired by the classic work of Frank Herbert. Dune focuses on the economic and sociopolitical systems revolving around the planet Arrakis, the only planet in the empire where the precious spice Melange can be found. Arrakis, also known as Dune falls under the Fiefdom of The Noble Great House Atreides, Which consist of Duke Leto, his Bene Gesserit Concubine Jessica, and their 15-year-old son Paul. The native people of Arrakis are called the Fremen, who were once, many centuries ago, known as the Zensunni Wanderers, the books indicated the at fremen are a homogeneous group that picked up the gene of many different humans during their migrations from planet to planet before settling on Dune. Much of Fremen culture as described in the books is inspired by real-world Buddist and Islamic traditions. The main plot of the first Dune book is centered around Paul Atreides' use of the Fremen to avenge the fall of House Atreides and gain control of the Imperial throne. Now, I won't be explaining the entire plotline of the Dune Saga, I mean that would take several hour-long videos, and who has time for that? (Show Ultimate Guide) Though Dune is considered one of the most influential Science fiction Saga’s ever, it’s not without controversy. It has been argued by some that Dune is one of the prime examples of the White Savior trope. Now I’ve addressed this in the past to some degree, see this video I did hear responding to an article written by Noah Bertlasky which accused Paul of being a quote, “Mighty Whitey”, but I’ve never dived entirely into the subject. In this video, we will explore the historical context of the White Savior trope, dissect how race is viewed in the Dune saga, and determine once and for all whether or not Dune is an example of this trope.

In the Dune Universe, the 9th planet in the Alkalurops, star systems was known as IX. The Ixians not only lived on the edge of the human empire, they operated in ways which pushed the limits of the universal ban on thinking machine intelligence. After the Machine Crusade, the Butlerian Jihad which violently expunged all computing technology, it was agreed during the Great Convention that the violation of the ban on thinking machines would result in execution. Still, the Ixians were not subjugated in the empire, Ixian technology was widely acknowledged to be the best so they were allowed to exist and a blind eye was turned as long as they did not go too far. According to the appendix of Dune, Ix along with the planet Richese had escaped the more severe effect of the Buterlian Jihad and remained strongholds of machine technology. Machine culture permeated Ixian society and this only seemed to increase during the time of the god emperor and after it. The God Emperor, Leto II acknowledged the dangers of Ixians invention; he tolerated them for reasons which they themselves struggled to understand.

I’ve pointed out before that Dune is one of the most influential science fiction book series ever written but every great thing is also influenced by something else. Isaac Asimov is one of the greatest Science Fiction Authors ever. His science fiction series, The Foundation, and its associated works laid the groundwork for everything that Frank Herbert’s Dune eventually one day would be. In This video, I will go over all the ways in which Frank Herbert was inspired by the work of Isaac Asimov. This video will of course contain spoilers for both book series!

Hey guys, it’s Quinn! Today we will be discussing what is without a doubt the most influential science fiction book Saga of all time, Asimov’s Foundation, and of course the associated works. Nowadays science fiction is known for its giant space empires with interconnecting politics, battles among the stars, and decades and even centuries-long plots with many different characters. Even robotic lifeforms have become a staple of science fiction. But these things were not always standard in the genre. Isaac Asimov, born January 2, 1920, is essentially credited with inventing the Galactic Empire. Asimov also coined the term “Robotics” and the term “Positronic'' both of which were used in one of the greatest Science Fiction shows of all time, 1987’s Star Trek The Next Generation, for the android character, Data, whose positronic mind was a focal point of many episodes. These words, like many of the terms and concepts used in Asimov's books and short stories, have become commonplace in science fiction. This becomes clearer when we take a look at what science fiction was before 1940.

According to the Dune Encyclopedia, which provides somewhat different accounts to what is presented in the Brian Herbert expanded Dune books, there are a few ideas of how humanity came to know of the properties of Melange. The Bene Gesserit had used several other substances before Melange in order to alter their consciousness and physiology. The encyclopedia states that the guild planet Tupile was discovered by Aurelian exiles fleeing IX. In 84 BG Norma Cenva made the first journey through hyperspace aided by the spice melange. The navigational usage of spice Melange must have been discovered sometime between the Aurelian Exiles' departure from the Planet Ix and Norma Cenva’s journey. The Aurelian exiles would have had to have stopped on the then uninhabited Arrakis, and a strange set of circumstances would have had to have lead to them discovering Melange, and bringing it back with them even though they would have known nothing of the substances near-miraculous qualities.

The Dune Universe is a universe of wonder. A universe of strange and powerful forces. And a universe of paradoxes ungraspable by most. There are deep secrets woven into the fabric of their reality. There are some who have the power to see through time, some who can perhaps even move through it. There are those gifted with the power to hear a lie and know or hear the truth and know it is the truth. There are many humans that possess what seem to be superhuman powers in Dune but can any of it be called magic? The official google definition of the word “magic” is as follows: the power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces. Now there are certainly powers in Dune that are considered “Mysterious” though most of them are not mysterious to those who wield those powers, but can we rightly called the powers “supernatural”. Here is where it becomes a better distinction appears, according to the definition of the word something is considered supernatural when it is quote, attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature. This means that in order to determine whether or not the powers in Dune are Magic, we have to figure out whether they are understood scientifically within the Dune universe or whether they are attributed to higher forces beyond science. Immediately when reading these definitions this quote from the first book appears bright in my mind. Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic. Upon reading the quote for the first time in Frank Herbert's Dune book it’s easy to assume that Frank Herbert is confirming the existence of magic in his universe. But when the whole series is considered, specifically the second book Dune messiah, then that assumption is less warranted. According to the book Dune this quote is from “THE SAYINGS OF MUAD’DIB” One of the books that the princess Irulan wrote about paul. This means that this is something that Paul must have said in Irulan’s presence, remember paul was trained by one of the most Gifted Bene Gesserit witches of all time. The Bene Gesserit never did anything without layered intent. We know from Dune messiah that Paul constantly projected the mystique of godlike power. Though he understood the complexities of his prescient power, it was impossible to relay in words. He often spoke mystically as a way to communicate more esoteric concepts. But the mystical way of speaking never fully reflected the truth.

There are at least 13,000 worlds under the influence of the Great Houses of the Landraad at the start of the Dune Series. Holtzman drive technology allows for instantaneous travel between the world the inhabited planets of the galaxy. After the reign of the God-Emperor the Great Scattering of mankind would send humans out in all directions, into the untraceable reaches of space. 15 centuries passed before anyone would return out of the scattering into the former Atreides Empire. Over the 5000 years of the Dune Saga human beings continued to diversify. Some groups isolated themselves till the point where they were almost inhuman, but not quite. But even with human kinds exploration of deep space, there appears to be no concrete evidence of Alien Life. The Dune Encyclopedia mentions the Legend of Ampoliros. This was during the time before the guild. This legend was spoken of on many worlds including Arrakis, Ix, Geidi Prime, and Ecaz, the legend speaks of the “Starsearcher '' a class 3 starship that continued to take on grander proportions until becoming a class 9 ship. According to the legend, in the year 480 BG the crew set off on a long journey towards the Niushe system. Partway through their journey, they came across an abandoned cargo vessel floating in space. The crew supposedly went insane, they had been fully convinced that they and the rest of humanity were under attack by an unseen enemy. The Crew made the decision to fly into space in search of these unseen alien attackers until they eventually ran out of stores The people of the Dune universe seem to have considered the idea of alien life. According to the great convention, the universal truce of mankind held in place by the Alliance of the Royal House, The Guild, and The Landsraad, the use of Atomic weapons is preserved for only Non Human Threats. The use of atomics against human s was grounds for immediate planetary obliteration. So it seems that the threat of Aliens conflict was at least somewhat thought of.

Today on the Channel we will be discussing the greatest and most effective military forces of the Dune universe. As I’ve stated before, most combat in Dune was hand to hand based. The Presence of Holtzman based shield technology brought the necessity for limited use of Las Gun Technology. Las Gun blast produced nuclear reactions when they came into contact with shields, which would of course be devastating to fighters on both sides and likely cause even further damage to the worlds being fought on. Such weapons were still used, however, but only in specific circumstances. The ability to subjugate or keep the peace in a galactic society required military forces. There are several different galactic military forces that came to power at different times during the Dune Universe’s Timeline. I will be listing the ones that I consider to be the most significant here.

Of the many great and powerful Dukes, Barons, and Emperors of the Dune Universe none have had more impact than the God Emperor, Leto II. His eventual powers would dwarf those of even his father, Paul Atreides. His influence outgrew the guild, all of choam, even the Bene Gesserit. The great houses of the Landsraad were rendered irrelevant. He controlled the flow of spice throughout the universe, and no one moved throughout his empire without his knowledge. His prescient eye reached to the furthest reach of time, almost nothing was hidden from him. He was the most powerful human being who ever lived by far. And the most oppressive imperial dictator of all time, never before had the whole of humanity been held in such a tight grip. But even he was vulnerable. The God Emperor Possessed secrets. These hidden vulnerabilities are ultimately the key to his undoing. The first of the God Emperor’s Secret’s which Duncan Idaho was supposedly put in charge of maintaining, was simply the fact that he was vulnerable. He was not truly a god as many throughout the human universe truly believed, he could be harmed, he could be killed.

The empire had seen more than 3000 years of stability prior to the famine, stability mankind had never before known. When the God emperor died there was a political collapse of macroscopic proportion. The effect went well beyond the political realm into the most essential economic aspects of human life. Leto’s empire had been a collection of entangled economies bound together by a central political power. Leto had been that power. Many of these interlocking economies contain entire planetary systems and even whole sectors containing several systems and others were limited to single worlds. Each of these economies depended on faster than light space travel in order to maintain themselves. But space travel required spice. During the rule of the God-Emperor Leto II, the planet Arrakis had been terraformed. It was no longer referred to as Dune. The changing of the world's environment had lead to the death of the sandworms, which meant that spice production ceased as well.
