# Talk:Neptune in fiction

(A possibly roaring good fiction.)  Neptune's long orbital year around the sun, of 166 years, is an inviting period for the evolution of human beings, who had evolved with lifespans limited, though they did not know it, to the 84 year orbital period of Uranus. One result was a conflict between those who believed the "threescore and ten" years of men and women was an absolute limit imposed by a Deity which did not recognize the human right of freedom to choose their destinies.  Those who were determined to continue living to the very substantial signal lifespan of Neptune were persecuted (in this fiction) by traditionalists who believed the long lifespans were the work of Satan, an obviously relevant planet being Saturn.  (This fiction-theater needs a better ending because at present it is not clear what the reaction of present-day ordinary Earth people would be, and the plot, climax and outcomes of the tale all need development).Michael Lewis (talk) 01:36, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
