时他还在读大学）成功预测成两件事：1）1940年第二次世界大战，2）1970年，人类登
月。
两件事都只差1年而已！
我一直觉得那个SF黄金时期的创作高峰,后来者很难翻越……
下面附TRENDS 的原文。
TRENDS
John Harman was sitting at his desk, brooding, when I entered the office

It had become a common sight, by then, to see him staring out at the Hudson,
head in
hand, a scowl contorting his face—all too common. It seemed unfair for the
little bantam
to be eating his heart out like that day after day... 阅读全帖 |

都准确无误，而且必须从字面上理解，因此他们必然要反对进化论。与自由派
