I frequently check tech blogs and have subscriptions to magazines like Popular Science. Today i wanted to write about how fascinating science can be. With each day that passes i feel the line blurring between science and science fiction. I seriously feel the day will come when authors like myself will no longer be writing fiction but whole truths made possible by science!
Instance number one. In many video games and movies there has always been a luring to glowing plants, seeds, and shrubby. Such a phenomenon is physically beautiful and inspiring. As of late it may no longer be a mystery. There is a kickstarter program where a group of scientists are embracing this field of study. A certain donation amount guarantees you seeds of the bioluminescent tree under development. The really cool part is that their vision doesn’t stop at having a cool looking plant in your living room. These bioluminescent trees can replace light posts on streets and in parks! They require no bulbs, miles of conduit or maintenance. They are cheap to produce and dispose of.
Instance number two! Free and massive amounts of energy! This can lead to anything from Death Stars to Neo Tron-like cities! First off an overlooked element call thorium! It has now been labeled as the holy grail of nuclear energy! This element has NO POSSIBILITY FOR NUCLEAR MELTDOWN and is super cheap! It is as plentiful as aluminum which is found every so many feet on the crust of the earth’s surface. Easy to mine and cultivate. Secondly a scientists at the University of Connecticut has developed a nano antenna array for solar energy. It transfers thermal energy directly in to electrical energy without the need for a converter. The best solar panels we have now work at 20-25% efficiency. This new antenna array boasts a 70% efficiency! Next is ions! I believe this is humankind like source of propulsion and energy. Our world is full of it! Scientists want to pull ions from the earth’s stratosphere and use it to power cities and vehicles! No test has been conducted on this scale as of yet but laboratory tests are proving fruitful!
Lastly I do believe we are on the verge of achieving what every good sci-fi spaceship has. A warp drive! A former NASA propulsion engineer has been working on the project for years. As of late his scenarios and simulations has achieved remarkable results! The basics involve a probe at the front of a ship. This probe emits negative energy that flows backwards and envelops the ship. When the negative energy meets at the back of the ship it meets resistance with positive energy that pushes the vehicle forward. Of course there are critics. His peers say there is no way to create that amount of negative energy considering most of the universe is positive energy. Well, my take is people cried impossible when negative energy was just a theory but that didn’t stop it from being discovered. People were adamant about traveling at the speed of light being impossible but here ,in a logic simulator, it is proven to be possible. We were taught a lot of wrong things in class growing up. Oil comes from dinosaur bones, Pluto is a planet, gravity equals mass…etc Gravity has proven to be a byproduct of velocity not mass! Do you know how long that so-called truth has held us back? New theories now involve devices moving at the same speed of the earth. Doing so creates a magnetic field separate but equal to the earth’s gravity field. Do you know what that means? Anti-gravity vehicles and the like! I say just give it some time and we will find the real truths of the universe.
I find discoveries like these to be inspiring! Our imaginations may no longer be seeds of impossibility. I look forward to seeing such visions come to surface! If you guys really want a good look into the future I highly recommend visiting the Venus Project in Florida. I went this year and it blew my mind! Check it!
