Trying to make a rigorous imaginary world

In summary, this dreamer's grandfather rejected her novel for being plagiarized, it was published in 1975, and it is about the downfall of Atlantis as a result of its own technology.

My fantasies:
1) There happens a rapid evolution every some thousand years in biological organisms like humans. The sleeping pattern of people changes and by some unknown means people are connected to each other. The number of cycles in the sleep changes and the brain rewires itself to change . In that time people can roughly do telepathy and control each other. The changes are directly related to intelligence.
-> This was also observed in animals.
-> As parallel lines meet at infinity when they look parallely they can communicate with each other.
-> Lifespan theory: Due to some reason the lifespan of people gets transferred to each other by some means. Curosity and passion can increase intelligence but for that lifespan is consumed.
-> Animals should also be evolved
-> Telepathy impreganting was result of evolution to digital graphics and pornography.

2) Microscopic flies were spread around they could fit chips in the brains of many people. The brain could be accessed and processing power can be extracted. With such a huge processing power engineers could be made digitally to run the world.

3) The most intelligent people in the world gather together and they isolated themselves. When intelligence increases upto a level they have something called thinking power. The human had 'physical problems' so the opened their brains so that infinite neurogensis is possible. They were sent to saturn and they fed on hydrogen gas. They slowly spread around the world. Their intelligence was so much they could predict future. The ones who got infinite time to think they could rule a space. They were known as thinking power. But they realized they themselves are inside a space which could be controlled by someone else. When they discovered the outer space of them they futher moved outwards and kept discovering inside what they were. But if the information is traveling at certain speed it will keep going outwards.
-> Time is an infinite resource
-> Only a fake space can have infinite resources
-> Time can be converted to anything else.
-> Technology have to be stored in a certain place. More you spread technology more chances it gets destroyed.
-> A fake space should not be trapped under the thought of infinite resources because it itself may be inside a real space. The real time keeps going.
Quotes: Inventing technology is a game it should be done slowly.

This is what I have dreamt. From here I got motivation to make something original and rigorous. Is someone experienced in such things?

The best sci-fi stories in my opinion focus light on some important aspect of living by violating only a few laws of nature, the fewer the better.

There was a world famous author decades ago that as a child dreamt of living in the time of Atlantis, the lost continent of myth. Each night the dream would move along to a new episode.

She was only 12 (circa 1912) at the time, wrote it down and submitted it to her grandfather's publishing house who promptly rejected it thinking how can a kid write such a novel she must have plagiarized it.

It finally got published in 1975, it's about how Atlantis succumbs to environmental and ecological disasters that its technology can't prevent or reverse.

From the Wikipedia article cited by @jedishrfu, we can read that the writer of the novel 'Romance of Atlantis' was (Ms.) Taylor Caldwell.

Rather than venture into other topics and since I think we've answered the OPs question, its time to close this thread.
 

1. What is the purpose of creating a rigorous imaginary world?

The purpose of creating a rigorous imaginary world is to provide a detailed and believable setting for a story, game, or other creative project. This world should have its own unique rules, history, and culture that are consistent and logical.

2. How do you ensure that your imaginary world is consistent and believable?

To make a rigorous imaginary world, it is important to establish a set of rules and guidelines that govern the world. These rules should be followed consistently throughout the world and should be based on logical reasoning. It is also helpful to create a detailed history and culture for the world to make it feel more realistic.

3. Can you give an example of a rigorous imaginary world?

One example of a rigorous imaginary world is the world of Middle Earth created by J.R.R. Tolkien in his books and adapted into films. This world has its own unique geography, languages, and history that are consistent and detailed.

4. How do you make sure your imaginary world is original and not just a copy of existing worlds?

To make a rigorous imaginary world, it is important to draw inspiration from various sources but also add your own unique elements. This can include creating unique creatures, cultures, and histories that are not found in other existing worlds. It is also important to avoid using clichés and tropes that are commonly found in other imaginary worlds.

5. Is it necessary to have a deep understanding of science and technology to create a rigorous imaginary world?

While having a background in science and technology can certainly be helpful in creating a rigorous imaginary world, it is not necessary. The most important aspect is to have a logical and consistent set of rules and guidelines for the world, which can be achieved through research and careful planning.
