Futurism & Inspiring Inventions
What do we really know about the intrinsic nature of #consciousness and its essential role (if any) in the nature of cosmos? Probably a lot less than many would assume. There is no question that our knowledge of brains has expanded massively in the past century. But what does all this data about brains really tell us about consciousness?
Artificial intelligence or A.I. is a big topic these days, but might it also explain why so many are seeing double numbers too?
As science steadily moves forward, who knows what’s next: levitating shoes, memory lenses, or invisibility cloaks? Bright Side compiled a list of eleven fantastic gadgets our grandchildren will likely be using in the future. #future #inventions #futuregadgets
A century after Nikola Tesla’s famous Wardenclyffe tower was dismantled, the legacy of the world’s greatest inventor lives on in the form of a new project which aims to develop wireless power transmission and a host of other communications and energy functions.
Popular Science: Our 31st annual Best of What’s New list is the culmination of a year spent obsessing over, arguing about, and experiencing the newest technologies and discoveries across 10 distinct disciplines. Yes, there are eye-poppingly-bright TVs. Sure, there are video games that will keep us busy for days. And, naturally, there’s a car that, on the right road, will just drive itself. Here, we dig deep, because some innovations don’t make a lot of noise, yet have the potential to make a real and lasting impact.
Watch this cool video to learn 11 mind-boggling facts about Croatian-born Nikola Tesla – a genius inventor who discovered the electric alternating current and much, much more.
Technology is upending the world. Accelerating technologies are giving us new construction kits for our reality. Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology and Nanotechnology are the three overlapping revolutions that will change what it means to be human. The end of aging, a revolution in healthcare, digital immortality, an intelligence explosion… we can barely begin to imagine what’s coming. But here is a meditation, a look at where we might we heading by Jason Silva.
Science works best when in harmony with nature. If we put these two together, we can discover great technologies that can only come about when the consciousness of the planet is ready to embrace them.
Michio Kaku discusses the real possibility for eternal youth. Today we have two kinds of immortality: digital immortality and genetic/biologic immortality.
What is a ‘free energy’ machine? It doesn’t mean ‘free’ as in the monetary sense, but more so ‘free’ as in the resource being extracted to produce the energy, as Nikola Tesla once said, is available in “unlimited quantities.” It’s not like extracting oil from the Earth, and using that oil to power our planet because we know, first of all, that it’s destroying our planet; secondly, it’s not a limitless source of energy. New developments in all areas of science, especially ones that don’t seem to fit the frame, always receive harsh criticism, and are dealt blows to their progress and acceptance with labels like ‘pseudoscience.’
The Other Singularity will see the extended mind and psi experience as accepted parts of society, education and business. Many opportunities and obstacles await you because of this. In this second part of “The OTHER Singularity,” Marcus T. Anthony focuses on the practical side of the coming shift in human consciousness: what you can do about it, and what difficulties you might encounter.
Epigenetics currently sits on the fence between accepted mainstream science and New Age panacea. Scientists who have been hesitant to admit that genes are not static are being forced to rethink their positions, while spiritualists and believers in the law of attraction swear that epigenetics proves that our state of mind directly determines our physical health and body. While the research has been taking place for decades, it is only now coming to be understood that our individual experiences and environmental factors can change us on the genetic level.
Was Nikola Tesla for real? A crackpot? Part of an early experiment in corporate-government control? We know that he was undoubtedly persecuted by the energy power brokers of his day — namely Thomas Edison, whom we are taught in school to revere as a genius. He was also attacked by J.P. Morgan and other “captains of industry.” Upon Nikola Tesla’s death on January 7th, 1943, the U.S. government moved into his lab and apartment confiscating all of his scientific research, some of which has been released by the FBI through the Freedom of Information Act.
Science will change to acknowledge the extended mind and Integrated Intelligence Education, and Society will follow. The extended mind is the idea that consciousness extends beyond the confines of the brain and skull, and is in relationship with the environment – including other people, places, times and spiritual dimensions. Once the extended mind is acknowledged, it will radically shift the way humanity sees itself, including its place in the cosmos. The implications for science, philosophy and society will be enormous.
Musk said: “It’s looking quite promising that a solar roof actually cost less than normal roof before you even take the value of electricity into account. So the basic proposition would be ‘Would you like a roof that looks better than a normal roof, last twice as long, cost less and by the way generates electricity’ why would you get anything else.”
