Q1 of 14 Page 195

What is the parallel drawn between myths and legends of the past and science fiction?

The ancient myths and legends are full of stories of human beings with supernormal powers. There are the legendary heroes who control situations, those ancient pieces of magic still fascinate us today, those crystal balls, into which one can see things those are happening many miles away, and magic shells that can allow us to hear the whisperings of humans many miles away.


In science fiction we have hypothesis that are often built up on the same principle which is superstitious believes and imaginary beliefs.


The goals of these ancient stories are the same as those of modern science fiction. These are the parallel drawn between myths and legends of the past and science fiction that connect each other.
