The Earth is not a round globe. It's a flat disc, spinning in space like a hubcap gone loose down the highway.

The Earth is round shape. Oh, yes, indeed; it is quite similar to a perfect sphere. It is nothing but a seemingly tiny celestial body, quiet, suspended in space, rotating, moving fast in a large orbit around a bright, shining star. That lonely star - let's point it out clearly - is hardly a median sun, a body like many others across the vast universe we live in. But for all these things to happen, gravitation has become the key. According to Sir Isaac Newton, every point mass attracts every single other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points. Therefore, gravity is responsible for the formation of the cosmos itself. Without gravity, the universe would be out of energy and composed only of equally spaced particles. Down here, on Earth, it gives weight to objects and causes the tides. Gravity has an infinite range, and it cannot be absorbed, transformed, or shielded against. It is perennial and ubiquitous. It brings order to what would otherwise be chaos. All in all, it's a well-done job, my friends. Gravity rules it all. In modern times, Almighty Gravity has become God. Standing against these scientific assertions proven right for so long does not seem a wholesome option nowadays; that would definitely sound lunatic, utterly obscurantist, and ridiculous in modern life. But for Professor Hermann Weiss, a Cumbrian senior teacher, an old geologist in his last year at Blessed Sacrament's, that seems not. Though he never ever foreknew that his bold and unexpected behavior might become so dangerous, did he? Where does that eerie earthly force even more powerful than gravity come really from? He never thought it would become suicidal, did he? Who is this murderous Maxwell's demon haunting the modern world for free? And what about yeh, mate? Time to make your decision. Which effing side are yeh on?

"Knowledge is power," most say, but power corrupts all the same. See, knowledge exists as a pyramid. Very many things know nothing, but only one knows everything. To climb the pyramid isn't difficult, up to some point. The climb can be a taxing thing; the climb can deteriorate the mind and render knowledge worthless. Because, you see, knowledge can't replace everything. Amelia Wakefield took the climb by personal invitation. She met every obstacle the universe could come up with, but knowledge is too powerful. Curiosity is too powerful. The New York editor once abducted by aliens now finds herself at the controls. The New York editor once blind of mind now finds herself aware of the many things she can know. Curiosity drove her by the neck, and dragged her like a noose to the very near top of the pyramid. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought her back

Do you dream of ancient civilisations and long-forgotten cultures? Of lost worlds where beasts born of fact and fiction reside? Let the Tevun-Krus crew take you by the proverbial hand and lead you through our lost worlds...

Tevun-Krus #114 - Hollow Earth (A Different Earth, Part 2) by Ooorah

Picture this: We live on the outside of a planet with a secret interior world containing countless lost civilizations. Or maybe planets as we know it don't exist... we've got the whole idea inside out! The deeper you go, the further out into space you get! Anything's possible with the Hollow Earth!

If we stayed there any longer, we would have died. Earth was no longer our home, but instead a barren waste land from which we had to escape. Its calm blue oceans were replaced by big empty pits, and the green grass which used to cover our planet has now died, leaving all ground we tread on brown. The sun was getting too close to earth. It was going to explode soon, meaning we would have to leave. Either that, or die on what we called home. Not everyone left, not everyone was saved, but most of us are here in our new home. It's a huge space station called 'Earth Resides'. All of us who made it here, though, refer to it as our last resort. My names Mia. I've been here nine years. And I know the truth. ------------ Project Constellations

GENESIS: The Ascendance Protocol by KgB252

(⚠️SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY) The Earth as it was no longer exists. What remains is a fragmented skybound world-vast floating landmasses suspended over an endless abyss of energy. The oceans have vanished, replaced by an enigmatic force beneath the remnants of civilization, an infinite power source that hums with untold secrets. Cities of gleaming spires and neon-lit corridors cling to these drifting continents, where the remnants of humanity thrive under a futuristic society shaped by science, ambition, and an unspoken fear of the past. Reality is no longer bound by mere chance. Probability itself bends to those who wield the Quantum Matrix, a force derived from the very essence of existence. With it, individuals can reshape their destinies-or bring ruin upon everything around them. Order and chaos exist in delicate balance, held in check by those who seek free will and those who seek freedom.

Tevun-Krus #117 - Best of 2K23 by Ooorah

Welcome to the latest annual Best Of collection! Brand-new stories from some of your favourite mothertroopers!

One false number is all it takes for Etheodra to discover that there is more to the universe than her planet, and to find an unlikely friend. Let's assume we are not living on earth. That there is a place, far away, that we look at, thinking it is a star. And they are looking back at us, thinking the same. PS: Thanks a lot to classicandvampire for the cover :)

Hollow - The Herculean Challenge by Shimaira

Science Fiction // Novella --- This is how the world ends. Not with a bang, or a nuclear war, or a plague, or even Yellowstone erupting. No, it ends with the Earth's inner sun burping massive amounts of radiation into our atmosphere. So where does that leave the few of us who are still alive? --- 3rd place winner in @TheCRYPTIC_ 's Herculean ♥ Challenge 1: Dark Futures "The year is 2301. Governments have been disbanded. Towns have been evacuated and abandoned. Survivors do what must be done to live. Some sacrifice for their families, while others turn on their fellow man. Food is scarce. Days are hot. Nights are cold. Routine is all that gets people by through the day. But then one day that all changes. Tell us what happens in your own words."
