“Laika” and “Flotsam” “Laika,” by Sarah Batkie, and “Flotsam,” by Jeremy Allan Hawkins both deal with the idea of being lost. While “Laika” uses space and Laika the dog as a parallel to the narrator’s sense of isolation in the world, “Flotsam” approaches the idea of being lost through the description of a ship floating astray in space. Where they differ, however, is in the use of space in the pieces; while “Laika” uses space as an accessory to the fiction narrative being told, “Flotsam” is…

During the holocaust in WWII millions of people were robbed of their freedom, evidently resulting in their deaths along with the…

To Einstein, time is a fourth dimension and space is described as a three-dimensional field, which provides a traveler with coordinates such as length, height and width showing location. Time provides one more coordinate direction although conventionally, it only moves forward. Time travel…
