I am no astrophysicist but if I understood correctly several sources documentaries, articles and so forth the next would be, unfortunately, in 2012, according to occidental Gregorian calendar which is part of the hike.
Double check though
Indeed, there can be as many specialist characters as necessary in order to deliver exposition. Or can any of them be motivated to anything more extraordinary? Indeed, actually relevant to Transhumanist themes, quirky troubled Holmsian characters are doing ...

No, I am not familiar. Anything applicable at hand? And I hope the plot device as already employed herein is adequately transparent. Is it?
Only indirectly, I think, or else sources in common.
My Hard Science Fiction influence, what with all the cellestial mechanics, is the late Hall Clement.
But because of time dilation http://www.wreckamovie.com/shots/show/5223 greater progress has be...
You make me wonder if there would have been a technological singularity.
I get the feeling that we have read some of the same Authors.
Justina Robson, Charles Stross, perhaps?
I think that the genius who understands what has happened is the logical choice to have as a center figure. He doesn't need to be the main character or even have much screen time, but at the very least good friends with the lead protoganists. Then you can i...
I wonder if you have read Spin by Robert Charles Wilson. It has some nice ideas about what ramifications, and possibilities time dilation could have.

By the time of the calamity http://www.wreckamovie.com/shots/show/5223 primitive silicon life has newly been discovered deep within the magma of the Earth. Lava from an eruption is swept into space by the gravitational beams causing perturbation to the orbi...
The Mars base has grown into a great civilization, terraforming Mars.
An additional effect of the gravitational waves that modify the Earth/Moon system's orbital trajectory, will be time dilation: Untill the near passing gravitational beams stop, time on the Earth and on the Moon will slow, relative to frames of reference els...

Society and technology have advanced. The Transhuman era is well under way. Oppression, poverty, aging and death, are all things of the past. And this has impacted lifestyle. The 60's will seem so tame by compa...

Thanks very much! I might not recommend the very first near future possibility, only so as to afford time for Post Human migration and population of the Solar System. That's how there can be encounters with veritable aliens and strange cultures on every pla...
I'm not sure all 9 planets can ever *exactly* align, because the orbits are slightly tilted (and Pluto's incredibly so).
However, if I remember correctly, the Voyager missions were launched to take advantage of a rare alignment of the planets that only t...
Thanks. Just fudged it from Google images with Photo Paint.

Tell ya what, Pilgrim: I've become a believer more in reciprocity than meritocracy. So why not just tell me what I can do for you, personally: Then you can repay me the favor without feeling cheated.
It's looking really good! Good job!
