Comments on: Omni Magazine http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2012/11/03/omni-magazine/ Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life… Tue, 28 Apr 2026 16:50:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: CherryPie http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2012/11/03/omni-magazine/comment-page-1/#comment-20794 CherryPie Sat, 03 Nov 2012 21:25:05 +0000 http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/?p=9270#comment-20794 I found it a mixture of science, pseudo science and science fiction. It is mostly the science fiction that I want to go back and explore and it was specifically those I meant when I said I wonder how many of the predictions have come true. I can't remember which author it was, but one of the science fiction authors commented along the lines that science fiction is your worst nightmare of the future. Looking back at science fiction novels/short stories of the past shows that some authors had quite a good vision of the future. I read the magazine in its early years but I found that after a while it became a bit repetitive and stopped reading after a while.

Too much of what I regarded as pseudoscience for my liking. The fiction described as fiction was fine, indeed great at times, but it was the fiction pretending to be fact that got me annoyed. But I'm a bit more wacky in the head now so perhaps I should investigate again. I was never keen on Omni myself. Too much of what I regarded as pseudoscience for my liking.
