The Future of Humanoid Robots

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_robots_and_androids

• Artificial human-like being created by Victor Frankenstein in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.U.R. (1920)

"The robots described in Čapek's play are not robots in the popularly understood sense of an automaton. They are not mechanical devices, but rather artificial biological organisms that may be mistaken for humans. A comic scene at the beginning of the play shows Helena arguing with her future husband, Harry Domin, because she cannot believe his secretary is a robotess:

DOMIN: Sulla, let Miss Glory have a look at you.
HELENA: (stands and offers her hand) Pleased to meet you. It must be very hard for you out here, cut off from the rest of the world.
SULLA: I do not know the rest of the world Miss Glory. Please sit down.
HELENA: (sits) Where are you from?
SULLA: From here, the factory.
HELENA: Oh, you were born here.
SULLA: Yes I was made here..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.U.R.#%C4%8Capek's_conception_of_robots

The Man Who Stepped Into The Future By Mistake

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kysAtHGukY A very interesting urban legend.

Execution_(The_Twilight_Zone) was first on TV in 1960. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_(The_Twilight_Zone)#Plot

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734567/mediaviewer/rm2366755585 To his left side and further behind him, is what appears to be some kind of a desktop computer flat-screen. However, instead of a keyboard at the bottom, there seems to be 2 or 3 control dials. Then beside that, there might be some kind of a numerical keypad, which might even have some letters on it. It's a fascinating prop for a TZ, TV episode.

Time Travel Beyond The Ides of March

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ides_of_March#Assassination_of_Caesar

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Julius_Caesar#Ides_of_March

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra_(1963_film)#Plot While this isn't supposed to be a Time Travel (TT) story, the ability to see into the future is depicted in a key scene of this movie.

Back then, they couldn't call it, the simulation hypothesis. However, the movie has a scene depicting future events in the Earth space-time continuum. 

"...Elizabeth Taylor (title character) gazes into the priestess’s fire and sees, presumably in advance, what actually transpires in the narrative, as Caesar (Rex Harrison) is murdered..." https://www.tcm.com/video/1222669/cleopatra-1963-movie-clip-caesar-caesar

How much of this Earth's reality is prerecorded or pre-set? https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-many-worlds-theory How can some people have visions of future events?

https://digitalcommons.andrews.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1519&context=jams

https://circledna.com/blog/what-are-prophetic-dreams/?

Officially, for many people, precognition or visions can't be real, because this world isn't suppose to be part of a cosmic simulation, or some kind of a created reality. Thus, for many, it's just something within the province of Sci-Fi entertainment.

The of course there are the various Time Travel stories. Some of theses TT stories are more about seeing into the future, than actually physically going there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paycheck_(1952_novelette)

"He has also realized that during his tenure at Rethrick Industries he worked on a machine that allowed people to view the future..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paycheck_(novelette)#Plot_summary 

"While hiding, they find that the stamps on the envelopes contain microdot images taken from the device, showing newspaper headlines from the future that while Allcom became incredibly successful with the device, it led to international political strife and the United States launching a pre-emptive nuclear strike. They agree that the machine must be destroyed." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paycheck_(film)#Plot

The Phoenix_Lights incident in 1997 was quickly and easily dismissed by the various authorities.

https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/arts/phoenix-lights-ufo-mystery-explanations-19105870

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Lights#Explanations There always has to be an official coverstory.

https://allthatsinteresting.com/phoenix-lights

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/scientists-serious-ufo-uap-security Unfortunatly, such high-technology would have to be classified and hidden from the masses.

https://allthatsinteresting.com/phoenix-lights

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Lights#Later_reports A lot of people saw a series of lights in an alignment that could be indicative of a large hovering structurer. Any very advanced human technology would have to be officially denied. If it was some alleged ET spacecraft, it would also have to be denied, because any local ET presence would cause too many people to ask too many questions about, The Nature Of Reality (TNOR). 

How many intelligent species could there be in this galaxy and then how many throughout the universe? How far back does history really go back on the Earth? Has humanity made the climb from the stone age to the space age more than once? If so, how many times? are there parallel worlds, is there a multiverse?

Creating Our Own Final Frontier: Forbidden Planet

In many ways, Forbidden+Planet was far ahead of its time.

Despite the limited special effects of the 1950s, the overall story is a timeless cautionary tale.

Forbidden Planet (1956) and STAR TREK (1966)

Forbidden_Planet was released 10 years before the first STAR TREK TV series episode in 1966. FP didn't have the level of special effects like in the 1977 STAR WARS movie, because there was quite a gap in the technology. Yet, the ideas, concepts and scenarios presented in FP still hold up today. Especially, as a cautionary story about mind generation, AI-3D printing technology getting way out of control.

"In the 1956 American science-fiction film, Forbidden Planet, we learn of a civilization on the distant planet Altair that had perished 200,000 years ago. The inhabitants of this planet, the Krell, had developed an ultimate machine that enabled them to enormously augment their intelligence and to effectively materialize anything through the exercise of will, thought, or imagination. As the film progresses, we come to realize that it was precisely this machine that destroyed the Krell and their civilization, as it provided their subconscious with unlimited power and resulted in “monsters from the Id.” https://www.qeios.com/read/GILKJV
