Looking Into The Future....


Boswell

Recommended Posts

I get excited when I hear something new that is predicted for the future like for example I read an article the other day about computers using light to transfer data! Anyway what have you heard that excites you? ^_^

Oh, you mean fibre optics? :P

I know what you mean..

When i see concept cars and concept visions on how they predict we shall live in the future that excites me.

It excites me to think were i could be in the future and what i could make of myself, there are so many possibilities!

All I get from lookinginto the future is the knowlage that we wont be able to afford any of these nice new gadgets becasue we will be taxed through the arse hole for them

That and wondering who the next contry we decide is a "world threat" because they have more oil than us.

Someday the contry we invade is going to kick our arse.

I get excited about owning a DeLorean... how fitting to this thread... even if its not completely answering your question :P

I won't lie, I immediately thought about DeLoreans, Mr. Fusions and

"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads..."

i heard ..

the particle accelerators at CERN in geneva will be firing up shortly. will be well anticipated what some results will be.

and also europe will beat america to it

i also heard that, my college is having a trip there, but its alot of money

What on earth would you do on a trip to the new LHC? Anyway I too am looking forwards to seeing what results are found and the possible advancement in the theory of everything, apparently this one should be able to produce a high enough energy to actually show Higg's Bosons.

The advamcement of solid state hard drives so I may actually be able to afford a nice sized one. Oh and Windows releasing a decent OS (hopefully).

CERN in general has a shit load of really cool stuff. I'd love to check it out.

is this the acellerator that if it goes wrong, will annihilate the world?

the theory of everything... looking forwards to that! soon as it gets done, give it 3 months and we'll have hoverbikes :)

i think they should REALLY REALLY concentrate on getting stable, terrestrial nuclear fusion working, because then our energy problems are solved. I've heard that currently we can't fuse for more than a few minutes

There is a theory that it could create a tiny black hole which would slowly eat our planet. But that's just a theory, and highly improbable something like that will ever happen.

good

hold on, how can chucking atoms at each other create a point of singularity?

it takes a star (a big one as well) exploding to create a black hole, so an accellerator on earth is never going to do it

Well it all depends on decay by Hawking radiation. If they don't decay as quickly as calculated using Hawking radiation rather than the theory of relativity they may devour us all :P.

Pretty much the same concerns were raised about the RHIC but nothing happened, just hoping the same happens here and that it doesn't turn to shit and the Earth is destroyed

lol if it is

who'll pay the compensation?

:P

besides, no-one will know it's happening, time slows down when you pass the event horizon in a manner dictated by a reciprocal graph

like so:

so it never fully stops

because we're all in the black hole, time to us appears to be passing at the same rate, but it's not. We won't realise it, but all our particles will be stretched out from the outside of the black hole to the inside

or something like that

...

need to finish a brief history of time
