Name your technology!
This is just a thread for the dreamer and those who enjoy where science can take us if we are willing and focused.
I am kind of interested in what others think and I hope everyone at least pitches in something of interest as I have always seen such ATS topics
introduce many great ideas as well as quandaries that science has over looked. ATS has such an abundance of genuine and clear thinkers that it is
always a treat to see what people’s ideas are in regards to technology. So this thread is about advanced technology and where it can lead as a
result of scientific postulation even if the science for it is lacking at this point.
In this case if you would be inclined to name a specific technology that you think would be beneficial for humanity either for life support or
recreation or anything whatsoever that would be great. Moreover it can be about advancements you have read about and your thoughts on it, and the
advancements that are made possible by it.
It can be as advanced as you can imagine or it can be rock solid quantifiable hard science, it doesn’t matter. Think of this thread as a scientific
wish list. What we want and what we may have to do to get there.
For example:
Ring worlds
Teleportation
Orbital towers
Types of propulsion
Matter transmutation
AI development
Immortality
Hive minds or downloadable consciences
Or complete and utter ascension from the physical plain using physical methods.
Just as long as it can be to some degree backed up by even speculative science.
Since I like Sci-Fi books a lot, and tend to enjoy reading about mega constructs and advanced cultures I would probably pick a ring world or an
orbital structure. I would then explain why I think it is something that is good for humanity or not and address some of the problems with it. In
addition I would also explain using pure and concentrated PSUEDO SCIENCE how such a thing may be built and why. If for any reason these instructions
are unclear let me know and Ill try to clarify.
I hope this sparks some interest with others as much as I’m interested in hearing from those here on ATS.
Thanks.
