The New Earth: 250 Billion Years Ad

By Michael Jesweak

This is an exciting science fiction adventure that starts out with six children and the boys father (Doc. Is what we call him), that works for NASA. Over many years while the fathers three boys and the three girlfriends children were growing up he talked about the end of the earth in 2012 and we were made to watch Star Trek and Star Wars and told us that his ship would have the technology of both adventures we watched. Doc built a starship on our farm that was fifteen storys and tall and with an advanced computer system could create whatever the Doc wanted. The starship and the six children took off in 2012 as the world ends by being sucked into the sun with all the other planet, we heard all the screams of all the people of the world as it died from all the people that didn't believe the Earth wouldn't be destroyed the way Doc told them; The Doc tried to save as many as he could, but no one would believe him. Later after we watched The world being destroyed the children were put to sleep for the long journey until the starships computer could find a world that we could survive on, the children were awakened 250 billion years A.D. And landed on a planet with portals that led to twenty one different worlds with different star systems and lots of wars going on that the children get involved in to help out the friendly aliens. There were no humans on this planet except the children in the book. You will have to read this exciting book to see all the adventures that happen. This book is like a movie in each world. I hope you enjoy this book as I did writing it, and stay ready for more adventures to come soon.

About the Author

Chapter One

Hi. My name is Orian Grant, and I want to tell you a story about a great adventure I had when I left on a fifteen-story starship with my dad, my two brothers, and three of our close friends. We were searching for life on another planet where humans and animals could live. My friends and me and Doc—Dr. John Grant—were the only ones who took the long journey, and we were put to sleep until the spaceship found a planet that would support life.

The fifteen-story starship is the Grant. It was programmed by Doc to search for new life on different planets in our solar system; somewhere among all those stars and solar systems, he knew there must be life. At least Doc, my father, always thought so. And I think most people believed that deep down as well.

There were seven of us on this huge ship. It is nearly three football fields long and just as wide. This spaceship was sitting on our farmland even as Doc worked for NASA.

I have two brothers. Luke is fifteen years old, and he has a girlfriend named Beth. She is also fifteen years old. My other brother and the nerd of the family is Shane. He is sixteen years old, and his girlfriend Amanda is too. My girlfriend Doreen and I are both seventeen years old.

Then there is the man who made everything possible to begin a new life and to preserve mankind: Doc Grant. He had us start over on a near earth-like planet. Luke, Shane, and I were raised by our father, Dr. John Grant, or Doc as we called him. Our mother, however, died while giving birth to Luke. One thing that none of us planned on was waking up by a beautiful new world later than 250 billion years AD.

We lived in the country on 120 acres just thirty miles from NASA, where Doc worked for most of his life. He was considered a genius by his peers in the scientific field. Doc was a Star Trek fan and a big fan of Star Wars as well. Doc was also a big believer in the technology that both Gene Roddenberry and George Lucas brought to the big screen, and Doc worked on that technology at his home lab. Doc made it possible to create great things with his mind. Projects he designed were things like NASA’s space shuttles, the landing rovers that landed on Mars, and many other inventions that he brought not only to NASA but to the whole world.

Doc was a good provider for us. He used the millions of dollars that he made to work on his starship, along with his many new technologies and inventions.

Doc’s radical ideas conflicted with his work at NASA. Doc tried to convince NASA that his inventions of light-speed propulsion engines for the future of space travel not only were possible but also had been proven in his lab. Doc invented artificial gravity for space travel and force fields. NASA laughed at his ideas and never ran his calculations or saw his working models. So Doc worked in his lab or on the spacecraft that he had been building for the past twenty years on our farm.

My brothers and friends and I went to a small school in the country in a town called Blossom, Florida. We all played together for most of our lives and were very close. My brothers and I were teased a lot, mostly because Doc was building a spacecraft of huge proportions—fifteen stories tall and three times the length of a football field—on the side of our farm, but we shrugged it off. Even though we agreed with our friends and schoolmates that this spaceship would never leave the ground or even work, we still loved Doc and encouraged him to reach for his dream. Our teachers always defended us by telling classmates that Doc had done enormous work on space travel in the past. Doc claimed to have made breakthroughs in lightspeed, gravity, force fields, and even launching probes into space using his so-called antimatter drives. They claimed Doc was a great man.

Over the years, our close friends and girlfriends would come to our house every day so they could to play in Doc’s imaginary world. Luke was the one who clung to everything that Doc said and did. The rest of us would play in the huge ship that Doc was building. Doc created human-like robots called humanoids that would help us with our homework and help Doc build his ship.

On the weekends Doc would always make us listen to him try to explain why he was building a starship. Doc would tell us that everything that had happened in the past would happen again. Doc also believed that the Mayan calendar was correct that the world as we knew it would be destroyed in 2012 when all the planets and the sun would line up together.

Doc would tell us that some of the writings were true, but Doc believed that, when all the plants lined up, the planets’ gravity would be so strong that all the planets’ orbits would change around the sun; the outer planets would move closer to the sun. Then the sun’s gravity would get so strong that Venus, Mercury, Earth, and Mars would be sucked into the sun with a big explosion, and Jupiter and Saturn would take the Earth’s place in our solar system. Luke, Beth, Shane, and Amanda would listen to his ideas with amazement. Doreen and I would listen for a while, and then we would go and discuss where we were going to college.

As the years passed, Doc got fired from NASA. He was still making new inventions, and that enabled Doc to keep himself and our dream alive. NASA thought that Doc was not thinking in the present and in the space world called NASA; they wanted scientists who worked and thought with technology that had already been invented, and Doc was always looking light-years in the future.

Most scientists rejected his work and didn’t believe in his new technology. But Doc still had friends in the scientific world, and they would let him tap into their super computers and compile all the data from geologists all over the world. They even tapped into the satellites in space to monitor the stars and our sun’s behavior. He was always downloading any information off the internet—downloading anything and everything that he could get his hands on.

Late in the year 2011, Doc’s monitors were picking up strong fireballs from the sun. We started having more earthquakes and volcanoes erupting than normal and a slight shift in the poles. But at last, Doc’s spacecraft was finished. Doc went to our town meetings and told the people and even pleaded with them to consider coming with us to be saved from painful deaths. However, this made the townspeople very frustrated for years. People thought that Doc was nice but kind of crazy. Doc never gave up on all his friends and tried hard to get them to believe.

But the starship was filled to the brim with food, plant seeds, pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, and almost everything that we eat to keep healthy. Doc had them in kind of strange-looking pods, and they looked like they were frozen in time.

Doc took me aside one day and said Orian, someday you will have to be the head and captain of this ship and crew.

He took me to the bridge of the spacecraft and to a room down the hall and showed me the pods that he had created for us children and for some of our friends. I, Orian the disbeliever, was becoming a believer. I saw the readings coming from the sun and Earth on the computer screen and felt the small tremors underneath us. Doc had enough life pods for 1.050 people. He told me to tell my brothers and our friends to stay close to the craft.

My brothers Luke and Shane tried to convince their friends, and Amanda, Beth, and Doreen tried to convince their parents and friends to be ready to come when the alarm goes off, giving only an hour’s notice before takeoff. We told everyone that they would be safe and welcome on the spaceship when the time came for the end of the Earth. Nobody except the six of us really believed that Doc was right.

The scientific world all said that everyone would be just fine and to just stay in their homes when we felt tremors and saw high tides. The governments of the world told coastal area residents to move inland due to higher than normal tides, rising sea levels, and plate movements. Still, they said everything would be fine if we just planned ahead of the alignment of the sun and the planets. All scientists agreed that there would be loss of life, but they said it would not be even close to a holocaust.

Doc talked in our small town on some TV stations and even showed the townspeople the data that his supercomputers had compiled. It just seemed like the more that Doc talked, the more the townspeople disbelieved. People would drive by and laugh at the large spaceship.

Other people loved its beauty. The starship, the Grant, was designed based on Star Trek’s Enterprise combined with the landing gear and design of a Star Wars attack ship and slim wings that Doc designed based on other movies, but the wings had robot arms in them that would be able to repair the ship if any damage came to it during flight. The starship could lift off the ground without a lot of rocket power, so Doc says.

Scientists around the world assured governments that the lining up of all the plants on December 21, 2012, would be a scary and intense moment for the believers of the Mayan calendar and the Bible, but not to worry—it would just be a bad day in some places. Some scientists predicted higher tides, more earthquakes, and that low-lying areas would suffer the worst while other people or cities that lived on faults on the earth’s crust would have cause to be more worried. If only the world had known and had listened to my father about the ending of the earth and that all life would perish.

Whether the spaceship would work or not, my friends and I felt safe hanging around Doc and listening to him. The spaceship—or now Doc called it a starship—was beautiful, and we felt safe playing around it and learning about the Grant.

People stared as the huge letters stood out and were exposed. The letters were lit up at night for everyone to see. All would know that it was the world’s best creation.

Doc loves his ship. The Grant was designed to lift up off the ground vertically and was able to travel at six times the speed of light or faster. The starship has a computer system that talks like a human and is able to make judgments. The computer also has emotions. The onboard computer takes care of all of the ship’s functions. Our ship also has many humanoids that help with the ship and even create new materials from matter—even from space dust. The humanoids can work in space and fix any damages or change the ship’s structure to meet or prevent future threats.

Beyond Safety first, the starship’s main objective is to find planets similar to Earth that could support life. NASA and others toured the Grant, but because it is such a large ship, NASA said that it would never leave the ground. Doc had faith in his ship. but we looked like a small crew.

It was then December 21, 2012, and Doc took new readings from the sun, the stars, and the Earth’s plate movements. Things were getting worse day by day—floods, earthquakes, volcanoes in Florida, and Yellowstone National Park just exploded. Doc told Shane and me to go get our friends and get back as quickly as possible. First we stopped to pick up Doreen, then Beth, and finally Amanda.

We told their parents what was happening, but they thought we were crazy and told us to just go and do what we had to do. They thought it was all nonsense, like everyone else in our town. No one would even think of coming on our starship, so it was just the seven of us going. The girls were crying about their parents and friends as we boarded the ship.

Orian, Doc yelled, get everyone strapped down. We have to take off now.

Luke and I helped everyone get strapped into our seats, which looked like pods. Then I had to tell Luke, the smart one, to strap in too, because I had to help Doc at the helm. The whole earth was shaking by then, and I could hear screams from the girls as water started to rise around us, coming up to the top of the helm of the starship. The ground was shaking, and the sky turned pitch black.

Doc started the computer’s countdown, looked over and smiled at me, and said, This starship is also waterproof. That is just Docs way; he’s always calm.

The computer was counting down: five… four… three… two… one. Lift off!

The Grant started to rise off the ground and out of the water, and then we were off toward the heavens. There was no big jolt like the one Doc had expected.

Orian, Doc said, go and tell the others that they may come and watch.

I went into the pod units and yelled, Doreen, are you okay?

Yes she said.

Then Shane said Okay, sir.

Beth yelled, Is it over?

The smart-alecky Amanda said, Was that it? Boring!

This was not the way that we had planned our adventure, which had begun.

When we got to the helm, Beth asked Doc, Can we watch what is happening? I am so worried about my parents.

Amanda and Doreen asked as well.

Yes, Doc told them.

Aren’t we now sixty million miles away from earth, Doc?

Yes, son, I told you that we have lightspeed and haven’t even used it yet, but all of you, Doc said, come and sit down, and I will open up the visual screen. Computer, open screen.

A big window appeared.

We won’t be able to see earth from this far away, Doreen said.

Doc laughed and said Computer, magnify screen forty percent.

Soon the earth and sun and planets were all lined up like Doc had said they would be, and we could see the surface of the Earth as well as the other planets.

My father had sent out space probes quickly so we could record the end of the Earth and watch things unfold. Doc and the rest of my family and friends watched in terror the violent way that the earth disappeared forever on the viewer screen. We could hear the screams of people, and there was no way to help them without being destroyed. We had tried to warn them, but no one would listen to my father.

Some of the continents just sank into the sea. People were vaporized by the sun through cosmic waves, and the Earth was full of radiation. The Earth started to boil, and then all was quiet. As the planets slammed into the sun, they caused several explosions, and the sun seemed to grow more intense and larger. Our ship was bombarded with supernova-type impacts, but the shields held, and the starship stayed intact.

We all shed tears and hated what we saw. I felt sorry our friends on Earth. The girls wished their parents would have listened to Doc and gotten onto our beautiful ship. We watched the ever growing sun. Usually, when a sun or star grows that quickly, it means that the sun wouldn’t have much time to live and would go supernova.

Even animals underground would be destroyed by the sun’s radiation, and the weather will be on a rampage. The earth’s crust would melt in the days and weeks ahead.

Over the years, Doc had shown NASA and other scientists his work on artificial gravity and other inventions that he had created. They had said that we were not advanced enough to design a working model of the project. Doc spoke in lectures at science events, and kids and adults alike said that our starship would not work or get off the ground. They said Doc’s design for a new form of fusion engine or drive that would deliver speeds of six to seven times the speed of light would not work. NASA would never even consider Doc’s ideas, and scientists all around the world said the world would realign and go back to normal in a few months.

As we watched for days and weeks, everything that Doc had said was going to happen did. We all cried as we watched the Earth and all the landmasses disappear.

I can hear my mother crying in pain, Beth said.

Doreen gently took Beth and Amanda in her arms and said in a soft voice, We all knew that this day would come. Let’s just be happy that we have each other and thank Dr. Grant.

No need for thanks, my young ones, Doc said. That goes for you too, Orian, Shane, and Luke. I remember how it felt when my parents passed when I was at a young age and when I lost my wife. But they are still with us in our minds and hearts. Doc told the girls, I wanted to borrow all of the videos your parents took while you were all growing up, and I made your family DVD copies.

Yes, Amanda said.

You didn’t, Doreen said.

Yes, Doc said. All your history and family memories are on a secure hard drive that you can access any time you want.

Great, we all said. And thank you Doc.

Amanda asked Doreen what the future would bring to us. Doreen really didn’t know, so we asked Doc.

The first thing that we are going to do, Doc said, is record the end of our solar system to remember. Then I will tell you and teach you what the future might be and what I hope it will to bring you.

So for about a month, we watched as Venus, Mercury, and then Earth slammed into the Sun, creating huge explosions and making the sun grow larger and brighter as the planets moved out of alignment. Mars was where Venus used to be.

After we watched the Earth blow up and get absorbed by the sun from a distance of sixty million miles, in just an instant, Jupiter came close to the sun, and Saturn and the rest of the planets got sucked into new orbits closer to our sun. Jupiter and Saturn were in the same orbit close to where the Earth used to be. The rest of the planets are all in weird orbits around our sun and closer.

Then Doc sat us all down and told us that he would leave a probe where we were then, and with his development of faster-than-light-speed video feeds, we would see if life reappeared on the surviving planets. Maybe we could come back some day. Doc’s voice was raspy, and he told us that there had to be life somewhere in the universe among the billions of stars around us. His starship was designed to find life and keep sending out probes to search for life. We needed to find an Earth-like planet to be able to survive. Doc also told us about the pods that we would be hibernating in and that we would not age until we reached a planet that could support life.

Then the computer will wake all of you up well beforehand and check for life-forms, air to breath, and gravity, Doc said. But I have to tell you, you will probably never find another human again. Life on other planets will be foreign, maybe hostile.

Doc told all of us that the ship could last for millions of years or more and that we had everything on board to start a new life and to build homes. Doc took us to one of the cargo bays and showed us spacecrafts to use to fly around the new world and machines that we could work the ground with—so much we had to learn.

I asked Doc and he said that when he put us to sleep we would be tied into the computer system. It
