This is just a thought,but they have created a material that may be able to make people invisible and it is a very small piece that is produced,and it may not be completely finished in esearch,but this got me to thinking.Do you think other things that as of today are typically seen in only Sci-Fi movies can become a reality?Such as time travel,lightsabers,robots with AI,and lethal laser beams like ones you see in movies such as star wars.Just to name a few things.The reason I bring this up is kind of a random thought,and I apologize ahead of time if I over looked a thread that was aleady like this.
As a Sci-Fi geek, I like to believe that most of these things are possible. However, I don't think any will be comercially available in my lifetime. Except for AI robots. Those will be around.
Hmm it would be impossible to time travel...But einstein said we could be able to look into the future..The material you are talking about bends light rays around it making it invisible
why would we need lasers when our bullets are probably stronger
well wind shift that's not completely true seeing as how lasers are made of high concentrated light.Now the first ones probably wouldn't be very lethal,but when you have something that can kill a person shooting at them at the speed of light,then I think they could find a use for it.I myself don't see how they could travel through time,but was wondering what others thought of it.
Science Fiction = possible in the later years. We just haven't been able to do all those sort of things. Like the "experiment" in France where they are trying to make a small 3 feet black hole appear. They figure that stuff out, they figure how to control atoms. They do that, the possibilities are endless. Of course it will need a LOT of energy to do that. So the most important thing we need to figure out is Cold Fusion. The Sun does HOT fusion we just need to know how to do that with stable temperatures we can use.
ShintetsuWA's point seems to be that yes, we can accomplish science fiction, and I'm inclined to agree. Things don't tend to turn out quite like SciFi (since it tends to be thinking still from our current point of view), but just think about old SciFi and what we've accomplished. Like 20,000 Leagues under the sea, sure we don't have everything in there, but we do have submarines... It's probably more a question of "could we accomplish it with reasonable resource expenditure" than "could we accomplish it"
I dream about his all the time, but only with video games instead. Like one time, everyone wakes up and the world is totally FINAL FANTASIED. Then other times like where phazon is discovered. Yeah. . .it's good to dream *tears up a little*.
i dont believe any words that come out of your keyboard i truely dont people these days are trying to create chaos and half the websites in the whole web are lies
Going with Craker here. Fantasy = Things that can never happen, no matter how hard you try. Sci-Fi = things that can possibly happen if you try enough, yet some shows technology that is carried away. Like a teleporter or a time machine. I really dont think those can happen, especially the time machine, but if by some reason its possible, the teleporter can be made.
Just think about it though. How dangerous would a teleporter be if you test it? It scrambles your atoms, then forgets to put them in the right spot, or forgets to form them entirely. Then in the destination a blob supposed to be a human appears. (so sad and so humorous at the same time...)
There's no basis to make a prediction about things like time travel, or teleportation, since there's not really enough understanding to even theorize about how to accomplish stuff like that. However, antigravity, force fields, and directed beam weapons stuff like that has been researched. They can float a frog in zero G on the earth's surface with an electrostatic field (but there were experiments in the early 1900s that proved the same concept with much lighter objects and less powerful electrostatic fields). They can make a forcefield a few millimeters in diameter that's quite solid. And finally there are microwave directed energy weapons that make your body feel like it's been dipped in boiling water as soon as you're exposed to them. The effect is temporary too, so it does no actual damage, just heats a tiny subcutaneous layer with a lot of nerves in it.
AI robots, yeah, they seem a likely possibility. A great deal of work is being done with walking robots these days. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1czBcnX1Ww] Big Dog is kind of disturbing. Looks like two pairs of disembodied legs walking in tandem, but if you watch the video, all the decisions about how to move the legs and keep itself standing are made on the robot itself.
Anyways, some things are always going to be pure imagination, like the lightsaber. Sure, it might be possible to produce a directed beam of hot plasma, but as soon as you turned it on it would incinerate you and whoever you were planning to stab with it. Much easier to just stab with pointy objects.
however teleportation has been created here in Australia where the successfully teleported a pencil rubber across a room from one station to another station
that does seem. . .interesting. But take this for example, CLONING! They have done this before with farm animals. For the skeptical out there asking, Why don't they do this for humans? Well, it's an experimental procedure on a human and they wouldn't dare put politics into their hands.
to those who say sci fi cant become reality, ever hear of jules verne?
20 thousand leagues under the sea?
before there were submarines verne put one into his science fiction book, going to extreme depths, depths that don't seem so unimaginable today.
space travel? it didnt exist until the russians sent yuri gagarin into space in 1961, any idea how many science fiction pieces about space travel existed prior to that?
levitation? the stuff of magic shows?
ever hear of the maglev? the super fast trains that reach great speeds because they meet minimal friction due to magnetic LEVITATION
think back a hundred years, and imagine if you could go back to that time, now tell someone there about some of the things we have today. they wouldn't believe you. if someone came back from 100 years in the future and told you they could teleport packages from different parts of the world, you'd probably walk away laughing.. but hey, you never know.
