"So this is your Chief? Are you serious? Looks like such a weakling! I'd never take orders from someone like this... hey, stop tugging my bag!"

The concept of panspermia suggests that life exists throughout the Universe and is distributed by space dust, meteoroids, asteroids, comets, and other celestial bodies. The theory also suggests that some of these spores reached earth from planet Mars and from which life on earth sprouted.

Before seeing the movie, perhaps we should delve into the meaning of Prometheus which as defined by AI Copilot is as follows:

Prometheus is a multifaceted concept, derived from various sources including mythology, science fiction, and contemporary culture:

Mythology: In Greek mythology, Prometheus is a Titan known for his intelligence and for defying the gods by stealing fire from them and giving it to humanity. This act of defiance symbolized the quest for knowledge and the advancement of human civilization. As punishment, Zeus chained Prometheus to a rock where an eagle would eat his liver every day, only for it to regenerate and be eaten again the next day. Prometheus is often seen as a symbol of rebellion against oppression and the pursuit of enlightenment.

Science Fiction: In the context of Ridley Scott's 2012 film "Prometheus," the term is used as the title of a spaceship and the mission that aims to discover the origins of humanity by seeking out the "Engineers," ancient beings believed to have seeded life on Earth. The film explores themes of creation, the search for our origins, and the consequences of seeking forbidden knowledge.

Cultural Symbol: Prometheus has become a broader cultural symbol for the pursuit of knowledge and the human spirit's unyielding quest to push boundaries, often at great risk. It represents the courage to challenge the status quo and the relentless drive to discover and innovate.

Prometheus, in all its forms, encapsulates a narrative of curiosity, defiance, and the inherent dangers of seeking knowledge beyond our understanding.

Prometheus is a 2012 science fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof. It is the fifth installment of the Alien film series.

The take place in the late 21st century, the film centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as it follows a star map discovered among the artifacts of several ancient Earth cultures.

part of me wonders if the constant allusions to sharks were intentional bc if they were;

Billed as the “earliest dated English scientific instrument,” a 700-year-old medieval device used to tell time sold for £126,000 (more than $150,000) at a Christie’s auction.

The object is a horary quadrant, which tells the time by tracking the sun’s position in the sky. This particular specimen was made in 1311, though the earliest record of such a device outside of England dates to the 13th century.

“These quadrants were probably the tools of merchants, senior churchmen and scholars,” says James Hyslop, head of science and natural history at Christie’s, in a statement. “The knowledge they provided would have revolutionized the way people in the Middle Ages lived.”
