Still waiting for my Jet-boots (I ordered 2 pairs from KrisDel^TM I blame Kris, he promised they were ready)
Del (Jet-boot Cat)

I hear he's working on a device to protect your rear end, or there would be a tail to tell, hot off the press? or booster?

Regards JD.

I don't believe that teleportation of living organisms will ever be a reality.

I do believe that someday humans will have a chip implanted and hooked to the brain that will make us all geniuses.

As WC Fields said, "We all have to believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink."

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen. (Albert Einstein)

You have already used that quote in another blog, but hey if it makes you feel good.

I've had one for years......

...me to..cheers

Re: "...me to"

Free drinks? For me, two, please!

"Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars..."

Guess what ...?

That ol' aimlessly-wandering spell-checker ...

So you can spell and quote Einstein and on top of it your a drunk, I wish you would go too the moon and stay. Maybe that will give you time to ponder your over inflated ego.

no, years ago we believed a lot of / some science fiction would become science fact.

today we laugh at science fiction.

how about those food pills?

how about world peace?

World peace?...I'll have my jetboots before then

I'll design them with my newly implanted ASIC brain-on-a-chip.

Mind if I smoke another piece of apple pie?

Fiction (Latin: fictum, "created") is a branch of literature which deals, in part or in whole, with temporally contrafactual events (events that are not true at the time of writing).

All perpetual motion and free energy devices fall nicely into this category.

Hey now. Collecting energy from the environment is free. Its the device or method that you use that determines the cost.

When you have the sun shining in a window in your house your in fact getting free heating energy whether you wanted it or not! The window was placed there for another purpose other than to collect heat in your home so that additional heat you collected willingly or not is in fact free.

When you deliberately put additional windows or other solar heat collecting devices in place then that energy is no longer free. It then is costing you something extra to get it.

I heat my house with wood thats collected year round that comes from normal rural life and local business operations. Years ago it was just collected into piles and burned every year. Now its collected by my shop and burned in my boiler system and put to use. The energy and effort to collect it and pile it at my place is the same regardless of where on the property it gets done at. The one difference is simply in how its disposed of.

I get heat as an added bonus from other efforts that would still be done regardless of if I burn the wood in my boiler or not. No actual additional cost or time outlay is required for much of it! Thats free by my definition.

Whoops that's a typo. Should have been

"All perpetual motion and "free energy" devices fall nicely into this category"

to distinguish free energy devices from energy harvesting devices, or more clearly

"All perpetual motion and over unity devices fall nicely into this category"

<< ... sun shining in a window in your house ... >>

Basically "WINDOW" is not for heat but for light & ventilation. In cold areas may be for heat but I don't support this. It is an additional a "Bye-product" type thing. As in tropical areas windows are not kept on Sun facing side without Verandas or louverings.

For thermal needs "Sun-Room" is it.

"Hey now. Collecting energy from the environment is free."

This is so universally true it even applies to fossil energy.

But good for you that you have chosen a solar powered renewable resource with an essentially climate neutral time line, which is as about "truly free" as it gets - future wise _{(just so I'm 'on topic')}

A few weeks ago I would have said time travel. Now I am not so sure.... That is what I get for watching too much Nat Geo channel.

I think all except for time travel. It depends who "we" are if your high up military intellegence or not, assuming your this batch of human.

"military intelligence" - might have to wait a while for that one

• the light / laser saber. why sword fight if you can shoot?
• the fancy masks and helmets of starwars,
• "humans" with faces of beasts,
• breeding and reproduction (and thus rise of new species of animals), from genetically-engineered, or cross-bred or cloned animals. to explain this, I mean for example, Animal A & B is, through artificial means, "cross-bred" to produce male and female Animal C. Animal C sexually reproduces offspring Animal C, establishing a new specie of animal.
• people older than 200 calendar years, or the elixir of life.
• space colonies (where children are actually born and grow into adulthood).
  

I am looking for a technology when it is available what ever the form it is it should inculcate the basic human values to each individual so that world becomes a place to live peacefully. I mean World Peace technology. No discrimination no boundaries. Earth should become real global village

A GA [Off-topic] as I cannot rate in Good Answer technically, but Socially it may be the BEST answer.

I would like to remind the stories of Arabian-Nights.

Most of those are reality today & hope the rest to be soon.

Now the USA is developing "Invisible-Cloak" being one of the old stories.

I have a faith that:

"What ever athought comes in the humans' mind it will come true now or in near future "

As God Almighty did not evolved the human from Ape but HUMAN was created with full senses and knoledge.

I'm starting to believe world peace isn't possible. Too many different religions and beliefs. Too many different values, languages, and even standards of living.

Look at any country and tell me if you can't find any internal squabbling (I know that you can find some here in the US).

There will always be fanatics that are willing to kill or die for their cause and as long as those remain we can't have world peace.

As for the topic of this thread, I saw that the US is developing laser weaponry on the History Channel the other day. That's pretty cool.

How about interplanetary colonization?

world peace? if you see (read) the interactions between persons on this site then world peace is only a pipe dream. Often we cannot even agree on the most minor of issues - like over unity machines (Oops)

never happen fortunately

..at least we have to try.....

Socialist science fiction, mind control, that is not world peace you are talking about, your talking about the loss of individual will and freedom. Read Anthony Burgess', Clock Work Orange.

Heaven !

Most of the technology that we read about in Science Fiction Novels comes from theories and experiments that have actually taken place. Jet Propulsion Laboratories has a room for Science Fiction authors to sit and observe experiments and the authors also research the notes of physicists to get their ideas for the stories they want to write.

So they don't just make that stuff up with wild imaginations. They take actual scientific information and create a story with it.

This isn't from a Science Fiction Novel:

Scientists built this huge contraption that was supposed to duplicate the Big Bang Theory. It didn't work and the scientists have theorized that the reason it didn't work was because a Bolean Molecule was sucked back into time and is holding up the entire experimental process that was supposed to take place.

And Evolutionists think their scientific data is faultless.

We probably won't see diamond mother boards, but they are developing them in two places in the U.S. We should be able to literally make quantum leaps with this new technology.

Teleportation has to be a long shot. (pun intended)

The Terror vehicle from Jules Vernes Master of the World. It is a submarine, boat, car, and airplane

I am reminded of a "Space Elevator" from a book back in the '60s. This would run from the Earths surface up to a space station in orbit. Biggest complication I see is that the space station would have to be in geosynchronous orbit which is a long long ways out... and what would we make the elevator shaft of (to reach out to geo- orbit)?

Bill

I read piece recently that there is a plan for a space elevator.

A space colony is definitely going to happen - we have the technology now.

Time travel is theoretically not possible since it would require entropy to be reversed.

Jet Boots would be cool until you lost your balance - but you could fly upside down. Or right side up if you were in Australia

"I'm over here and the cops over there. He should be writing me a ticket up in the air.

I'm sitting here in my '89 pontiac, the Wall's come down and the President's Black, where the hell is my Jetpack."

I have an extra jet pack and am fixing to leave

I read an article about cleaning the atmosphere by running a one inch hose from the ground into the outer atmosphere, supposedly leaching the co2 out of our atmosphere in record time, whatever that means. There would deffinetely be a lot of suction.

rubber hose or steel? How would we support the hose?

where did you read this article?

I have lost track of the article, but it was flexible hose with interwoven metal, I don't know the rigidity or how they got it up there, but in theory it is suppost to remove co2.

Did they actually do this or was it just an idea? I'm curious because I did some quick pressure drop calculations and it still take a pump to 1 gpm to 36000 ft through a 1 inch carbon steel pipe.

I have also recently done mechanical stress calculations on 1 inch carbon steel pipe and I know that it doesn't go very far (vertically) without needing some kind of support.

When I read the article they were just developing it and some of the problems posed were the questions you are asking, they had worked out the hose issue with interwoven materials, the problem they were working on was getting it stabalized on a vertical.

Well I was just curious because it seemed like one of those climate change ideas that's more politically motivated that scientific.

Plus, what are the CO2 emissions of the pump?

If we throw these carbon and oxygen atoms out the atmosphere, I don't think we'll get them back. To my knowledge, the Earth does a pretty good job of regulating the atoms that are here.

I guess this is just my rant of the day.

Don't worry cingold, a column of CO² is heaver than the surrounding atmosphere, so "seeping" out is a totally dud concept. You could pump it out, but can you get it to "escape velocity"? If you could, how could you get far enough away from earth moon orbit to not be attracted back? Got a 5,000,000 mile long pipe that always points towards or away from the sun and never gets hit by the moon?

You'd have a better chance throwing balloons with a trebuchet.

As said, it's great Physucks.

Equally it's a "reality don't matter" thread.

Your guess is as good as mine and I agree the earth does a pretty good job of regulating the atoms that are here and when it is through with us it will keep on spinning.

Re: "deffinetely" (post 37) "suppost" (39) and "stabalized" (here);

Eh ... refer to post 49, above.

Texas actually advanced you through 'gradumatation', huh...?

[Couldn't wait to be rid of you, no doubt .] Sorry ... " c'unt hep m'sef "!

Things that work in theory but never put into practical application will probably end up in a Science Fiction novel.

ST, I so love the Physucks of that idea. ROFL.
