Six Ideas That Will Change the World. The Next Plastic Plastic has changed little since its heyday in the 1960s. It's still ubiquitous, oil based, and dirty as hell for the environment. Makes you wonder what we've been doing all these years. For one thing, not listening enough to chemist Geoffrey Coates. In his lab at Cornell University, he's been reinventing plastic. Making it environmentally friendly and biodegradable -- with orange peels. The key is limonene, a citrusy-smelling chemical compound made from orange rinds that when oxidized and mixed with carbon dioxide and a catalyst can be turned into a solid plastic. Since 1999, when Coates and his colleagues first began experimenting with limonene, they've discovered a number of other natural materials, such as pine trees and soybeans, that can be manipulated into biodegradable polymers as well. --Doug Cantor. WB-1010 Future Plane by Reindy Allendra. The Spruce Whale A futuristic flying marvel the likes of which have never been seen!

The WB-1010 is a concept plane made to make use of yet-to-be-invented materials and technology and aims to meet the demands the world 85 years from now will make. Speed, comfort, and space for a whole lot of people, that’s what this is all about. You’re in for a real treat of shocking and splendidly fantastic conceptual technology in one notorious BIG future plane! The WB-1010 (stands for Wright Brothers) is an official entry into the current KLM Indonesia aircraft design competition.

It can seat more than 1500 people! It can reach speeds of nearly 1000 kmph! It has helium injected in the body to make the plane lighter! It’s windows are made of “Smart Glass!” It will be able to harvest wind energy in flight! It has a super jet that will allow the plane to land on a normal runway or completely vertically! Amazing super fantastic! Designer: Reindy Allendra. Our Technological Future: Singularity FAQ for Dummies. To start out with, I am now posting a Singularity FAQ for dummies that I have written myself.

I've dubbed it version 0.5 for now. I'm counting on lots of additional questions from all of you, which I will include so I can upgrade the version number. I'm sure there are spelling and grammar errors in here, but hey... it's only version 0.5, right? The reason I wrote this, is because when I'm reading posts on fora or in newsthreads that are related to artificial intelligence, I see lots of uninformed opinions. This is not always the posters' fault. Very often, an interviewee will tell an interviewer "By year xxxx, we will be able to upload our conscioussness to virtual reality. ", without giving any explanation on how this might be achieved. Uninformed opinions like that are mostly fueled by ignorance.

From now on, ignorance on the topic of the Singularity will be a thing of the past, because there's a FAQ available now. ;) Enjoy. :) Q. A. Q. A. Q. A. 1. 2. Q. A. Q. A. Q. A. Q. A. Q. A. Q. A. Is the Universe a Holographic Reality? The Universe as a Hologram by Michael Talbot Does Objective Reality Exist, or is the Universe a Phantasm? In 1982 a remarkable event took place.

At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have never even heard Aspect's name, though there are some who believe his discovery may change the face of science. Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. University of London physicist David Bohm, for example, believes Aspect's findings imply that objective reality does not exist, that despite its apparent solidity the universe is at heart a phantasm, a gigantic and splendidly detailed hologram.

Force Field. LED Lights Make Augmented Vision a Reality | Elemental LEDucation. LED Lights Make Augmented Vision a Reality Okay, this is just freaky. We know LED lights are versatile enough to be used for practically anything, but LED contact lenses? Really?! Yes, as it turns out, really. University of Washington researchers have figured out how to implant semitransparent red and blue LED lights in contact lenses, for the purpose of receiving and displaying data in sharp visual images and video. Once miniature green LEDs are developed (and they’re in the works, as of now), full color displays will be possible.

Lead researcher Babak Parvis comments “You won’t necessarily have to shift your focus to see the image generated by the contact lens,” it would just appear in front of you and your view of the real world will be completely unobstructed when the display is turned off. Ah, the real world. Thanks to Extreme Tech for the quote and Trendhunter for the images. Laser Crosswalk Saves Pedestrians From a Painful Death. When the light turns red, a huge laser wall projecting apparitions of crossing pedestrians spans across the crosswalk. The concept is designed to keep crossing pedestrians safe from any overzealous drivers who otherwise might have ran the red light.

In order to add to the ledger, a user must prove they control an entry in the ledger. The protocol specifies that the entry indicates an amount of a token, bitcoin with a minuscule b. The user can update the ledger, assigning some of their bitcoin to another entry in the ledger. The Library of Congress reports that, as of November 2021, nine countries have fully banned bitcoin use, and a further forty-two have implicitly banned it.[15] A few governments have used bitcoin in some capacity. Bitcoin has been described as an economic bubble by at least eight recipients of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[17] Design Units and divisibility The unit of account of the bitcoin system is the bitcoin.

Despite some early scepticism and online lampooning, Google have the opportunity to open a whole new software market with their first solo foray into hardware. Google Glasses technology could give software developers an extra dimension in which to innovate. The short video released by Google last week shows how "head-up display" (HUD)-style visuals could add to the functionality of an Android phone. What is exciting is how much further this could be taken further into our lives. Here are some ideas around what we might expect if Google Glasses were to launch: Gaming The world's highest-grossing media format has been a lucrative part of the app market.

Gaming on the go has become as much a part of life as watching movies on your X-box. Coming back down to earth a little, it is clear that the technology to deliver such advancements is a long way away.
