Solaris and Nirvana

I know it’s been a while since my last blog, but I would like to thank you for the comments you made.

I’ve been thinking about time travel at the moment, the excellent BBC science fiction  drama Dr Who, and the film Solaris.  If there were such a planet like Solaris, then it would probably be a sort of Nirvana – where we would never age or die, and have all of our loved ones (alive or dead) in one place.

Throwing in time travel, this Solaris/Nirvana would be like a playground where generation hopping would be utilised, so we could visit our ancestors.

What the hell  am I talking about? Perhaps we’re closer to a Solaris than we think.
