what Hubble saw
fiction
edward w Pritchard
Some folks long to have lunch and an enlightening talk with a diplomat, politician or billionaire
who has seen and done it all.
Me I would like to chat with the space telescope Hubble after Ghe [1] has completely and successfully
established consciousness and self awareness.
I would ask Hubble what's it like to stare in a deep deep corner of space for a dozen days and see one million galaxies merging and evolving and Hubble would reply what's it like to awaken at 4am and see a quarter of the Moon across a calm lake?
[1] Pritchard posits that intelligent machines of the highest caste will someday be referred to as "Ghe"
as a human might be called your Honor.
