Mirror is the current given title of a concept of science fiction and supernatural fantasy concieved by Daniel Z. Chen (User:SArchangel). Mirror is currently a developing idea.

Themes
The primary theme of Mirror is human nature as it is defined in Abrahamic theology, and not as it is defined in secular humanism. In fact its view on human nature attempts to show that humanity cannot save itself and hint that humanity can only seek satisfying salvation outside of the natural world.

Mirror first presents the science fiction element in the scenario that most caters to the humanitarian utopian image--- centuries from the present, humanity has harvested from Earth's moon a precious yet abundant mineral called "stardust," which is an allusion to the real-life helium-3 elemental isotope. Stardust could be used to fuel nuclear fusion to generate mass amounts of nuclear power. At the same time, smaller, safer, and lighter nuclear reactors called nuclear batteries have been invented, allowing nuclear energy to power nearly everything needed to be powered in people's lives. The very clearn and long-lasting nature of nuclear-powered devices made them incredibly popular and nuclear power replaced fossil fuels and other common sources of energy in society.

These developments ushered in a new space age as scientists assured the public that stardust, as well as an abundance of various other profitable minerals, could be found almost anywhere in the rest of the Solar System. The nuclear prowess of humanity spread their sphere of influence across the Solar System and to take from it.
