With the phrase “specter of the monolith” (also the title of my book), I am naming a complex existential moment — the simultaneous experience of the sublime and nihilism. What has our progress wrought? It is also the most disturbing. The key details are the deliberate nature of something related to the moon with specific reference to the moons of gas giant planets. The story of 2001 can be reduced to this: humans attempt to pursue the origin of its intelligence. So many things would have to happen for the inhabitants of that planet to actually discover the buried monolith on the moon and understand its implications. But, hey, yawn amirite? Keep in mind, I say “theory” in the strictly scientific sense. Strauss’s composition was inspired by Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. As Also Sprach Zarathustra rises to a final crescendo, we are instantly returned to our area of the universe. I would guess recent, as the perfection of the solar eclipse will gradually become less perfect over time as the moon drifts away. It has the same size, general appearance, density, and tidal locking indicative of the moons of gas giant planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn…fitting perfectly in size between Io and Europa. In 1948, Arthur C. Clarke wrote a short story called "The Sentinel," which deals with a discovery on the moon of an object placed there by extraterrestrials. But what, if anything, did the 2nd monolith on the moon do? Some thoughts stimulated by the Monolith. Asking for help, clarification, or responding to other answers. Implications of Kamala Lookalike: Bet it all on Blue! It is not pose-able, it comes with no accessories and it has "zero points of articulation." Importantly, 2001 taps into the awe and wonder of the cosmos along with the marvels of science and technology. The views expressed in this post are the author's own. Via the flawed artificial intelligence of the HAL 9000, 2001 provides a warning to humans about the seductive power of our technology. The ape has overcome himself. it will eventually give way to flooding the earth. Is this modified version of the changeling's "Shapechanger" trait fair? 10. Where has it been hypothesized before that Earth’s moon is originally the moon of a gas giant? HAL was unconsciously constructed in the image of his maker, if by "maker" we mean the very thing that stimulated humans to consciousness and intelligence. I think it's worth noting that this "solar-powered alarm", to be activated once humans were capable of digging it up, was one of the very first concepts from 2001 that Clarke conceived of. By the end of his life, he lived in seclusion and is thought by some to have been murdered for his film Eyes Wide Shut (imagine telling Warner Bros that you were filming a romantic drama and then giving them that). In Thus Spoke Zarathustra (the book that inspired Richard Strauss to write the symphony Also Sprach Zarathustra [1896], which was later used by Kubrick in 2001), Friedrich Nietzsche speculated that since humans are the superior species that evolved from apes, there might be an equally greater species that would evolve from humans — what he termed the “Ubermensch” or “Superman.” Nietzsche wrote how “man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman — a rope over an abyss.” So what comes next? I still imagine it is no coincidence. Moonwatcher and friends come with clubs; a primitive mafia. Take your pick; the bottom line is that our moon is actually the moon of a gas giant planet. Fauxlex, your hypothesis is fine. Not only does gas not reflect light but rocks and dirt do not reflect light very well. It is a textbook moon of gas giant, and is a near impossibility as a natural satellite of an inner rocky planet. It had a powerful In a nutshell, it would only be found when that society was actually ready to truly understand its implications. In effect, 2001 is one of those spores, though it is artistic and philosophical. Making statements based on opinion; back them up with references or personal experience. You’re my favorite paradox SMJ. This linear and symmetrical arrangement suggests the monolith is pointing toward the sun and moon and thus directing the apes to look toward the stars. Subsequently, directlor Stanley Kubrick stripped the Monolith's function to the minimum: a slab of geometrically perfect stone. He's feeling strength from this and the power. I thought man, it could not be planned so perfectly. Good question. Enter your email address below to subscribe and follow the Piece of Mindful blog.

The monolith is then shown against the morning sky, with the sun eclipsed as it rises above the top edge. Territorial dispute over a waterhole. By now, man is intelligent enough to realize that the monolith was planted by another intelligent race, and that is an awesome blow to man's ego.
