LARP block: The 9th Doctor Adventures
Saturday October 19, 2024 8:00am - 12:50pm PDT
3 Sisters
The Ninth Doctor came from the ashes of the Late War Doctor, and refused to acknowledge him as The Doctor. He also was rubbish at card tricks, a tough man with a Northern accent, great at TARDIS flying and jiggery-pokery, and wore a leather jacket like his immediate predecessor, but this one is black, just like his pants. Saved Rose Tyler from temporal burnout from seeing too much in the Eye of Harmony; then regenerated.

William J. Clancey: Zylerium Blindness
Saturday October 19, 2024 9:00am - 9:50am PDT
Mt Hood
A Cold War Science Fiction Case Study in Comprehensive Design “Zylerium Blindness” is a short story written during the Cold War about how nuclear explosions created an element, Zylerium, causing global congenital blindness. Authored by Thomas B. Sheridan and John E. Arnold, pioneers in “design thinking” and “human engineering,” this case study for students demonstrates the methods and challenges of “comprehensive design.” Humanity must deal with groupthink and social conformity, which inhibit personal integrity, responsibility, and imagination and thus impair creative problem solving.

What would the operation of beam-driven interstellar propulsion systems look like to observers on other stars? If it's coming right at you, you might see the beam, as in The Mote in Gods Eye, but if we assume many starships departing in random directions, the originating star system might look like it were surrounded by a faint halo, about a light year in radius. Why, and how to look for it will be explained.

There are models, as Greg Barr will explain. One way to build a world-ship might be to encapsulate an appropriate asteroid with all the resources, and reaction mass, to sustain an interstellar journey, or settle the outer reaches of the solar system. We'll explore Dr. Bruce Damer's Secure Handling by Encapsulation of a Planetesimal (SHEP) concept.

P.J. Boston: Transport of Life and Biosignatures Across the Solar System and Beyond
Saturday October 19, 2024 4:00pm - 4:50pm PDT
Mt Hood
What interplanetary and interstellar mechanisms exist that could transport microbial or other lifeforms across our Solar System or between systems, and what are the limits to survivability for organisms hitching a ride from one planetary body to another? With recent identification of interstellar objects observed passing through our system, speculations about cross-fertilization between Earth and Mars, and the prospects for ancient Earth life biosignatures to be found on the Moon, it is fruitful to take a hard look at the destructive and protective factors that such space-going organisms and their traces will face. What can we really expect to find, and how do we rigorously investigate these intriguing possibilities?

Intimate Adventure: No It's Not What You Think It Is

SF/F author Jacqueline Lichtenberg coined the term "intimate adventure" for a subgenre of SF/F whose the main theme centers around the protagonist's personal growth through the challenge of experiencing other cultures, other ways of being than what they are used to. Often with resultant culture-shock. The archetypal Hero's Journey is one form of intimate adventure. What are some other examples, and how are intimate adventure stories helpful for those of us living in 21st-century reality?

Tesla Coil Demonstration 1
Saturday October 19, 2024 4:00pm - 4:50pm PDT
Mt Bachelor
This performance displays the brilliantly colored light created by High Voltage Arcs, Sparks and Corona Glow. This is man-made lightning and thunder, only slightly tamed, and is brought close to people so they can see the beauty in these arcs. Demonstrations are 15-20 minutes and showcase the arcs generated by 3 different Tesla Coils and 10 other types of HV apparatus with arc lengths up to 3 feet long. Intense Electromagnetic fields are created, so in an abundance of caution, people with implanted medical electronics should not attend. The Good Dr. Professor Anderson, a physicist and engineer, is a Maker of Tesla Coils with arcs up to 7 feet long. He is fascinated by the beauty of the colored light from the Arcs, and feels the Intensity and deadly Attraction of being (almost) nose to nose with 500,000 volts of electricity.
