Apple TV+ has dropped a new full-length trailer of Foundation. It is an upcoming blockbuster science fiction series based on the novels of that exact name Isaac Asimov. It is undoubtedly a distinguished sci-fi pedigree with a staggering budget the series has promised as the streaming win of that Apple TV+ that has been chasing.
Foundation: Plot
This series mainly belong to the long-running series of that same title of the science fiction titan Isaac Asimov, which has released seven instalments over half of the century. In 1966 this series beat out The Lord of the Rings to get a prestigious one-time Hugo Award for “Best All-Time Series”.
It has been confirmed that the first instalment has been centred on Hari Seldon, who is a mathematician who has spent his entire life developing the psychohistory, which is a statistical process through which one can predict the future of large populations.
Seldon invoked for stand trial where he can predict the imminent fall of the Galactic Empire that has been followed by a 30,00 year dark age before rising of the second empire. The event is continued its unfolding and also an alternative prediction that has promised of a dark age for only one millennium that the Seldon can assemble a Foundations for scientists and engineers who will be able to create the Encyclopedia Galactica, which is a compendium of all the knowledge of the human beings.
At last, the request of Seldon becomes granted through him and his fellow “Encyclopedists”, it has seen as the doomsayers of the ruling family that are exiled to the remote planet of Terminus.
Now, after fifty years, Seldon becomes dead, and Terminus is under freefall. Seldon has left a hologram that informs Encyclopedists that the Encyclopedia Galactica was a mere ruse to assemble a population on Terminus to reduce the dark age instrumentally.
As Terminus is growing with power, develop with the near and the greater technologies that can outstrip the capabilities of the Galactic Empire, which is an interplanetary showdown that is playing out in between the warring planets, all of which are involving with the galactic dominance.

Here is the trailer of the series:
I hope that this presentation of the Foundation epic will stimulate some of its viewers to work to create a real Foundation on Earth, to avert or minimize the “New/Final Dark Age” that threatens Terran humanity. Already, some have been walking this path for a long time — e.g., Foundation Encyclopedia Dialectica.
