Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - View Single Post - The Last Mimzy IS bang on with Dan Burisch

The Last Mimzy is based on the *1943* science fiction short story "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" authored by Lewis Padgett (the pseudonym of husband and wife team Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore). (from wiki)
"Mimsy Were the Borogoves" was originally published in the February 1943 issue of Astounding Science Fiction Magazine. It was judged by the Science Fiction Writers of America to be among the best science fiction stories written prior to 1965 and included in the anthology The Science Fiction Hall of Fame Volume One, 1929-1964. (wiki)

The short story is available on the web and is a quick read.

The parallels to Dan Burish's claims are a little too uncanny for my liking!

When David Wilcock (in this 2012 talk) shows pictures from the movie Contact and claims they accurately portray the technology Dan Burish describes and also exactly how it works, I again find it a little too uncanny.

Two instances of "life imitating art" !!?
