Building The Blogverse

Discussions started on this blog have continued on others:

Flandry, Bond and Pym were discussed in Three Heroes;

Heinlein and Anderson were compared in Heinlein And Anderson: A Brief Comparison;

fictional accounts of time were summarized in Knowledge Of The Future And The Past;

time travel organizations imagined by Anderson and Heinlein were compared in The Time Patrol And The Temporal Bureau and in The Time Patrol And The Temporal Bureau II;

the philosophy of two Heinlein short stories was discussed in Solipsism.

The Blogverse III

See Blogverse search result. (Scroll down.)

Posts about time travel should be published on Logic of Time Travel. However, such posts are often about works by Poul Anderson so instead they are published here on Poul Anderson Appreciation. Search this blog for, e.g., time travel or Time Patrol.

When there is time travel either in a comic strip or in a screen adaptation from a comic strip, then it is discussed on the Comics Appreciation blog. Search that blog for time travel.

Because time travel paradoxes are relevant to Poul Anderson Appreciation, I will draw attention to:

The Time Travel Paradox In Avengers: Endgame I
The Time Travel Paradox In Avengers: Endgame II
The Time Travel Paradox In Avengers: Endgame III

In II, I argue that there is a contradiction.
In III, I summarize Andrea's different view.
In the combox to III, Andrea confirms my understanding of his view.

A Route Through The Blogverse

Here, we compared passages in works of prose fiction by Poul Anderson, CS Lewis, James Blish and SM Stirling.

Here, we added a comparison with a work of graphic fiction by Alan Moore.

Here, we compared this work by Moore with a prose novel about graphic fiction characters by Elliot S. Maggin.

Maggin's novel was written to coincide with this feature film but otherwise is independent of it.

Here, I speculated about Poul Anderson writing a scientifically rationalized Superman novel with an otherwise real-world setting.

That is five previous posts, proceeding from Anderson to Anderson via Lewis, Blish, Stirling, Moore, Maggin, Superman, two blogs and three media.

The present agenda is:

to finish reading Miracle Monday;
to finish reading The Sunrise Lands;
to start reading Murder In Black Letter.

Blogger

This is not directly, or even remotely, relevant to Poul Anderson but, in case any blog readers want to see their blogger, I attach links to three images on Comics Appreciation:

Alfred And I
Joker, Ivy And Alfred
Marvel And Me

I am currently expanding the blogverse with more posts on other blogs, particularly Personal and Literary Reflections while reading Alan Moore's 1174-page Jerusalem. However, Poul Anderson Appreciation continues to receive more page views than any of the others and there is always something to be said here.

Happy New Year

The purpose of the two previous posts was to show readers of this blog what has been posted on other blogs. More recent posts on other blogs have been:

Centuries Dominated By Monotheism
Greek Philosophical Schools
Monoliths, Beamed Down
Endings
"Embedded In The Future"
Reflections On Earlier Reading

Of these six posts, the first two are directly relevant to issues previously discussed on Poul Anderson Appreciation. However, I am now also posting elsewhere about:

Jerusalem by Alan Moore;
Reality Is Not What It Seems by Carlo Rovelli.

The nature of time and possibly other themes are common to Anderson, Stirling, Moore and Rovelli so there should continue to be links and cross-references. We have ceased to be monoblogular and have begun to expand the blogverse. However, Poul Anderson Appreciation remains the principle timeline of the blogverse in terms both of numbers of posts and of numbers of pageviews. The New Year and the further future are an open book.

Thank you and Happy New Year.
