Pro tip from one who is addicted to these things: go to settings and change the speed to 0.75%. Not only is it more relaxing while laying down to listen, but also your favorite stories last 1/4th longer!
What did they use to build their ships, and cities etc? Also, they have multiple generations per second. By the time their ship was spotted, and original guy finished telling the second guy about it, they would have been dead a couple of centuries!!
An entertaining story, but the timescales were all wrong. The seconds the scientists took to attempt a rescue would have lasted generations for the hydronaughts.

I think the outstanding and amazing story plot was "The Humans" was sizes miniature as floating organisms, explodes the truth in the middle part of the novel. Otherwise, existed many refutes, such as: how can" The Humans" can read the metal plate, unless they were genetic settings by our Earth scientists, in the beginning.
@Meep I read the original version. In the original version, religion was not involved at all. This version was rewritten and it is not as good. Now, what did I miss?
Except that it was the godless Eurasians who developed the scientific mechanisms to preserve life. And if you believe in a god that designed and created the universe, it was that god who is responsible for the destruction of the earth.
I agree that the radio adaptation is vastly inferior to the original short story. First, the notion that shrinking life to submicroscopic size would speed up life cycles millions of times is nonsensical. No where in nature has anything like that been oberved. Microscopic tardigrades, or water bears, for example, have been observed to have remarkably long life cycles. Second, the adaptation argues that although life on earth cannot be preserved past a two week period of common time, it will be some kind of moral victory that the reduced life will have experienced millions of generations in that two week period. The original story concerned perserving life so that it could continue indefintely, continue to explore, and continue to advance and develop. It's an inspiring story about human ingenuity overcoming immense odds. The adaptation turns that story into an exercise in futility.

Like this listened to this one over and over.
A treat from the creator of Cities In Flight where famous cities from Earth take to space.
Thanks for the tip! I love it when I find a good story and someone helps me find more from the same mind.
@@otterrivers3765 You're welcome! Do you follow Science-fiction TH-camrs? They provide abundant suggestions and reviews.

Wonderful!
Absolutely Love X Minus One's musical scores!

that cover goes hard
Great!
I was hoping to hear the Blish story as it was written. Surface Tension is one of my SF favorites!

The original was much better. God was not involved.
@Meep I read the original version. In the original version, religion was not involved at all. This version was rewritten and it is not as good. Now, what did I miss?
while those two were wondering to help or not, the distressed ship experienced like 800 years in small people time 😂
I love the use of diatoms in this story, pretty darn cool!
Love it
I wonder what the first tiny universe story is, this is a good one!
The first one I read was Sandkings when it came out, it's the same only different.
They go back at least to the early 20th century, and maybe further. "He Who Shrank" by Henry Hasse is a good variation on the theme.
The sound is too low.
Though provoking
Their world would ends in September 24th 2056. Story takes place this time then.
From the future to the past we've arrived.
Did " THEY " have to take the book so seriously 😳
Not pictured: Lisa Simpson’s tooth....
If only Cartman knew or Lisa Simpson about this!😮. 🤓😎✌🏻
They get out of the tiny universe and find that Lisa Simpson is their creator
Ahh the past! When even scientists knew that the ultimate answer is God!
Or “ancient aliens”.
Terry Egrafed I personally don’t believe in aliens from another world but if they did exist, who created them?
@@louisbrugnoni1291 - Who created God?
Except that it was the godless Eurasians who developed the scientific mechanisms to preserve life. And if you believe in a god that designed and created the universe, it was that god who is responsible for the destruction of the earth.
Pretty good, but altered a lot from the written version.
I’m just a few minutes into this fake intro and it’s terrible, horrible, shameful … and completely unBlishlsh!

What’s the name of the written version?
@@dathurleyfella5225 The original story is also called "Surface Tension."
