Emperor Harkonnen Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Do you people think that Dune is the planet Mars?? It is quite possible.and does any one know where the humans first expanded in space? was it to Alpha Centauri B, where Ecaz lies?It is only 4,35 lightyears away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteaDeo Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 it is sure that FH used known reference for his planets... Since the story of Dune is closly related (well, a sort of expanding) future of earth....still. don't think that mars could be dune.Mars is rock, not sand.Mars is red, not sand color.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMA_1 Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 that is a definate no.lol It isnt mars. And we dont know about the little diaspora. where they went and what they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted September 9, 2002 Author Share Posted September 9, 2002 Well Dune is impossible due to the space traveling which is not possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteaDeo Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Frank Herbert wrote a FICTIVE universe based on our "true" universe... still, his work is ficitve...that's common thing for an author to inspire itself in the real world...still, dune is not mars :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Not yet Thorup ;) You could but imagine the face expressions Charlamagne would be experiencing if he saw a jet flying over him at and over the speed of sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted September 9, 2002 Author Share Posted September 9, 2002 yes sure..but the only way we could travel in space without breaking the laws of physics: through a wormhole(or whatever it is called in english) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude_Doc Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 For space traveling: We still got 30000 years to Butlerian Jihad, 40000 to Dune, and 45000 to Heretics and Chapterhouse, so well, 2002...I heard that Frank Herbert first planned to transform Mars into a Dune like-planet, then changed it. Besides that, Arrakis is the Third planet in the Dune Solar System, which would be the Earth in this case, and what I've read, Earth is a "Universal Park" or something...

TMA_1 Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 well there is plenty of time to devolp new technologies if the lord doesnt come. besides there are no laws in science per'ce. its just hte best idea we have. quantum physics could and is wrong. everything science does is wrong in a true scientists mind. they just build to it and try to make it better.

AlteaDeo Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Dune would be the earth... interesting idea with all those desertification.... :)even more interesting when I remember that sand trouts where "imported" from an another planet to arrakis.... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted September 10, 2002 Author Share Posted September 10, 2002 I doubt Dune is earth, cos earth has only got one moon. But Mars: Deimos and Phoebos. Maybe earth was destroyed and then Mars is the third planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteaDeo Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 maybe an asteroid went near earth and stopped there and maked a second moon.... maybe, maybe..why not "Dune is Dune" :) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMA_1 Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 it says Dune is in the canopus system. which is obviously not Sol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 In book appendixes is Arrakis (or Dune) always described as second planet of system Canopus. Canopus is a giant star about 1200 light years from Earth, big like 200 000 Sun. It's a brightest star of Carina constellation (near Centaur), so if you live in Australia you can see it whole year. Maybe this name inspired Herbert with House Corrino's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
