But what if the alternate universes did collide? Could you encounter another version of yourself? Would you like yourself? What would you say?

"Better luck next time," is the answer Rhoda Williams, an anguished young woman who has forsaken astrophysics for janitorial work, blurts to the man who is about to become her lover in the new film "Another Earth," a meditation on guilt and redemption in crisscrossing worlds.

Ms. Marling chimed in to say that the goal of science fiction is to throw up a new lens on reality and get a bit closer to what it means to be human.

"Sometimes in science fiction you can get closer to the truth than if you had followed all the rules," she said.

The name Kalki is often a metaphor for eternity or time.
The origins of the name probably lie in the Sanskrit word "kalka" which refers to mud, dirt, filth, or foulness and hence denotes the "destroyer of foulness," "destroyer of confusion," "destroyer of darkness," or "annihilator of ignorance."

If the legend proves correct the power of Kalki is immeasurable in human terms, how long it takes him to get going has not been shown.

He will collapse the Fifth Reich (see below), which you may remember from my writings is the secret control of the world.

Let's concentrate instead on redemption, absolution, miracle healings, and our restoration, that is the focus for now.
