Fringe Doomsday Clock

fringe.jpgSciNoFi’s policy is that we use science fiction as a jumping off point to explore all the ways that entertainment mirrors and/or inspires real science.

As we’ve mentioned before, though, this is sometimes problematic when it comes to J.J. Abrams’s Fringe.  Still, we try not to critique.

Besides, Polite Dissent does such a good job of it already.  Head over to PD today for a recap of last night’s episode, including his ongoing homage to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.

    I wish to show my thanks to this writer just for bailing me out of this matter. Because of exploring through the world-wide-web and meeting principles which were not helpful, I thought my life was over. Being alive without the presence of solutions to the difficulties you have fixed as a result of your good review is a serious case, and the ones which might have in a wrong way damaged my entire career if I hadn’t encountered the website. The ability and kindness in maneuvering every item was invaluable. I am not sure what I would have done if I hadn’t discovered such a solution like this. I can also at this point look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time very much for your reliable and effective help. I will not hesitate to endorse your blog post to anyone who needs and wants assistance on this matter.
