I would prefer to live in my own imagination
Enigman said:Fantasy is a genre eg. Death Note, Harry Potter, LOTR
ψ-Φ(looks cooler) or Sci-fi is also a genre eg. Star trek
I wouldn't want to live in a world controlled by a 18 year old (guessing the age, may be lower) who has the power to kill anyone and will do so when anyone opposes him...
And anyway Kira goes mad, L wins...well, more or less...If there can be more than one Kira, Near and Melo are part of L too...
BTW Did you read the manga, see the anime or the movie?
(I read the manga)
Sorry about before must have been cranky that day...
Evo said:Definitely Star trek TNG.
I didn't know we could use our own fictional worlds. Then, I'd definitely live in mine. I'd get to have a prehensile tail. :3adjacent said:I would prefer to live in my own imagination
Infinity isn't just one value. There are infinite different infinities. You could have a distribution that has infinite more mass below, or infinite more mass above, or even a finite mass difference. infinity-infinity is undefined, not 0.BobG said:I'd choose the Library of Babel.
Admittedly, the first big problem with this universe is gravity. If the library is infinite, then the distribution of mass is uniform, and there's just as much mass pulling you "up" as there is pulling you "down". In fact, there should be no up or down.

and that will always create an underclass.
Gaz said:I will have to go for Atlantis. With my personal shield and enough fire power to wipe out the entire planet when I'm not of having fun exploring the Universe I will come home and rule you all with a iron fist haha.
I like star trek, too. No, holodeck is not everything Greg. It's the culture, where human (and Star Federation) is much more refined than us.Greg Bernhardt said:I asked this question to Doc Al in his interview, but I think it would be fun to hear from everyone. You can pick any well known SciFi universe to live in. Which would it be?
I would say Star Trek just for the holodeck and the device where food is instantly made. Seems fairly stable too.
Of course not! What would the women look like?Stephanus said:Nobody chooses Flat Land?
Slim and sexy? Ironically, the 2D story helps me much to understand 4D. At least to imagine 4D.HallsofIvy said:Of course not! What would the women look like?
HallsofIvy said:I was thinking "flat"!
schonovic said:I wouldn't live in a new sci-fi universe like AVATAR among others because they assume that all habitable worlds will have sentient life. This gives the feeling that we have no place to go. That's a miserable outlook and I think many sci-fi's have succumbed to this idea. I don't find that realistic. Even on this world legend has it that god put sentience here and it is not natural. I'd want to live in a universe where we have a place to go.

Universe ruled by Cylons!
Khatti said:If you are talking about the last one SciFi did you seem more alarmed by the prospect than the creators were; they seemed far more interested in the Cylons than the human beings. There is an attitude I call Ethical Misanthropy that I see as very much an intellectual fashion statement today. The last Battlestar Galactica very much displayed this attitude.
Mr.Robot said:I didn't get that part..

Artribution said:If I had to pick a universe, I think it'd be the Marvel Comics universe. Because I'd be constantly reinvented every few years, and every time I died, I'd just come back from the dead. And the special effects would be awesome.
Have you ever tried it? Besides, you get a snazzier costume in every incarnation.meBigGuy said:Hard to see how one could enjoy dying every few years.
The most popular SciFi universe to live in varies depending on personal preferences, but some of the most commonly mentioned ones include Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who.
Again, this is subjective and can vary depending on the specific technology being considered. However, some of the most advanced SciFi universes in terms of technology include the Culture series by Iain M. Banks and the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons.
Yes, there are definitely some SciFi universes that would be considered dangerous to live in due to the presence of hostile alien species, advanced weaponry, or oppressive governments. Examples include the Warhammer 40,000 universe and the world of the Hunger Games.
Yes, there are many SciFi universes that feature diverse and inclusive societies, often as a way to explore themes of equality and social justice. Some notable examples include the Star Trek universe and the Mass Effect series.
