A recent Star Trek game -- "Star Trek: Shattered Universe" -- is set sometime after the original series episode "Mirror, Mirror". In the game, Captain Hikaru Sulu and the crew of the U.S.S. Excelsior swap places with the crew of the I.S.S. Excelsior thanks to a localized stellar ion storm. They are hunted by Mirror-Chekov, who commands the I.S.S. Enterprise, and assisted by the Mirror-Klingons and Mirror-Romulans. During their trek home, the Excelsior crew encounter Mirror Universe variations of the original series' missions ...

During the Star Trek game -- "Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force" -- the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager are trapped in a strange dimension, what is termed a ship's graveyard. Among the wreckage of ships is an unidentified Constitution class vessel from the mirror universe crewed entirely by humans. These members of the Terran Empire have presumably been trapped in the graveyard for many years and have formed an alliance with crews of Klingons, Malons and Hirogen, though it is unknown if any of these races are also from the mirror universe. Th ...

Although the mirror universe is never visited in Star Trek: Voyager, the episodes "Living Witness" and "Author, Author" pay homage to it with a portrayal of a sinister alternate Voyager. The Mirror Universe concept has been much parodied, notably in an episode in the second season of South Park in which a friendly, helpful Cartman with a goatee (and mean-spirited versions of Stan and Kyle, also wearing goatees) briefly cross over into the regular "South Park" universe. (Goatees appear to be common in the various parodies ...

Various novels have been set in the Deep Space Nine version of the mirror universe, including a trilogy by William Shatner, which reveals the Mirror-Kirk (or "Emperor Tiberius", as he calls himself) was still alive, and plotting to reconquer his Empire. Apparently, it had been he who originally created the Alliance to overthrow Spock, before it turned on him. His right-hand man is Regent Jean-Luc Picard, who works with the counterparts of other Enterprise-E bridge crew. He is opposed in his aims by Mirror-Spock, now the Intendant of the Vulcan Resistance. Mirror versions of Kathryn Janeway, ot ...

It is speculated that the frequency of UFO events represents a premeditated conditioning or learning process. The motives of the consciousness behind the process are unknown, but it may be some kind of test about the ultimate nature of reality and humanity's ability to comprehend it, despite being handicapped by society and its taboos about what is and what isn't acceptable, as well as the state of modern physics. Presumably, beings with the ability to bend space, warp time and communicate telepathically may be in possession of the ultimate ...

Cats look very much like humans. The most obvious differences are the teeth, which are those of a carnivore rather than an omnivore, and the number of nipples (6). Internally a cat is characterised by colour-coordinated organs, a decorated stomach wall, and a heartbeat that sounds "cooler" than a human's. Cats come in at least two races; they are capable of speech, and have a level of intelligence comparable with that of a human. The most important difference between cats and humans is an advanced sense of smell (they smell the words in ...

The Cat wears clothes, in a particularly garish style, and it is implied that all other cats dress well. They developed the trouser press before the wheel. The Cat launders his clothing by licking it, as a house cat would; he merely sprays his tongue with detergent first. They seem to need at least five or six showers daily and seven or eight snooze breaks every day, to save energy for his main evening sleep. Whenever he enters unfamiliar surroundings, he removes a small spraycan from his lapel and begins spraying objects, reciting al ...

Grandfather paradox - Complementary time travel. Since quantum physics is governed by probabilities, an unmeasured entity (in this case, your historical grandfather) has numerous probable states; but, when that entity is measured, the number of its probable states singularises, resulting in a singular outcome (in this case, ultimately, you). Therefore, since the outcome of your grandfather is known, you killing your grandfather would be incompatible with that outcome. Thus, the outcome of one's trip backwards in ...

One of the main assumptions of the grandfather paradox is that causality is an active physical force which can "follow" a time-traveller back through time. But it may very well be that this is not the case. In other words, if you traveled back to the year 1970 to kill your parents and prevent your birth in 1971, you would not disappear from history, because simply by travelling back to the year 1970, you would have established that you already existed in your adult form, complete with memories, in the year 1970. In effect, you would have pre ...

The Chronicles of Narnia contain many allusions to Christian ideas which are easily accessible to younger readers; however, the books are not weighty, and can be read for their adventure, colour, and mythological ideas alone. Because of this, The Chronicles of Narnia have become favourites with both children and adults, Christians and non-Christians. Although he did not set out to do so, in the process of writing his fantasy works, Lewis (an adult convert to Christianity) found himself incorporating Christian theological ...

The Chronicles of Narnia - Influence on authors. A more recent British series of novels, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, has been seen as an "answer" to the Narnia books. Pullman's series favours science and reason over religion, wholly rejecting the themes of Christian theology which permeate the Narnia series, but has many of the same issues, subject matter, and types of c ...

WARNING -- SPOILERS AHEAD DUAL! Parallel Trouble Adventure takes place in two different possible universes. In one world, a huge alien artifact is ignored and broken apart by a construction company, its main component tossed away by a worker named Yotsuga. In the other, Yotsuga keeps the artifact, leading to the discovery of extraterrestrial technology that completely changes the course of history. Kazuki Yotsuga (probably the son of the Yotsuga in the opening scene) is the main character of the show. Kazuki is sh ...

Although the two concepts are similar, machine translation (MT) should not be confused with computer-assisted translation (CAT) (also known as machine-assisted translation (MAT)). In machine translation, the translator supports the machine, that is to say that the computer or program translates the text, which is then edited by the translator, whereas in computer-assisted translation, the computer program supports ...

Luther Arkwright is a work of apocalyptic science fiction set in parallel universes. The eponymous hero has the unique talent of being able to move between parallels purely by force of will, and is aided by Rose Wylde, a telepath whose many incarnations across the parallels are able to communicate with one another. Luther and Rose are agents of a parallel known as "zero-zero", whose stable position in the multiverse has allowed the development of a world at peace with itself and sufficiently high technology to monitor the p ...

The translation process, whether for translation, can be stated simply as: Decoding the meaning of the source text, and Re-encoding this meaning in the target language. Behind this simple procedure there lies a complex cognitive operation. For example, to decode the meaning of the source text in its entirety, the translator must interpret and analyse all the features of the text, a process which requires in-depth knowledge of both the grammar, semantics, syntax, idioms and the like of the source language, as well as the culture of its speakers. The translator needs the same in-depth knowle ...

The first attempts at machine translation were conducted after World War II. It was assumed at this time that the newly invented computers would have no trouble in translating texts. The logic was that computers were able to do complex mathematics quickly, something that humans did with more difficulty. On the other hand, even young children were able to learn to understand human language, therefore computers could do the same. In actual fa ...

Despite their inherent limitations, MT programs are currently used by various organisations around the world. Probably the largest institutional user is the European Commission, which uses a highly customised version of the commercial MT system SYSTRAN to handle the automatic translation of a large volume of preliminary drafts of documents for internal use. A Danish translation agency, Lingtech A/S, has been translating patent applications from English to Danish since 1993 using a proprietary rule-based machine translation system, PaT ...

Machine translation can use a method based on linguistic rules, which means that words will be translated in a linguistic way — the most suitable (orally speaking) words of the target language will replace the ones in the source language. It is often argued that the success of machine translation requires the problem of natural language understanding to be solved first. A number of heuristic methods of machine translation are also used for machine translation, including: Rule-based methods: Lexical looku ...
