All three stories are great examples of science fiction because they all include time travel and paradoxes and are very futuritic. Each story includes advanced technology that allows time travel.
The story Sound of Thunder is a great example of a paradox and the butterfly effect because it shows how the hunter did one small thing and messed up the entire future. He stepped on a little butterfly, which is ironic because it is the butterfly effect, and he ended up messing up the entire future. This story is science fiction because it also includes the technology required for travel into the future. Even though I really enjoyed this story, I was still left with a few questions, like: What did the sound of thunder represent?
The story All you Zombies is also a great example of a paradox and the uses of time travel. Even though it was really hard to follow and a confusing story, it still had great examples of science fiction. In the story, they had the technology to time travel multiple times and exist in multiple ways. It was a good story, but I had a really hard time understanding it.
The video Into the Universe was very interesting. It was really cool to hear from Stephen Hawking. I understand his thoughts about why we cannot travel to the past and why we can travel to the future. I think the ideas that he explored, like the mad scientist paradox, were really interesting and would be cool if they could happen later in life. However, watching this video made me think: What would people do if we were given the chance to time travel? Would people do that a lot? Why would people want to go into the future when everyone is here?
