Professor of Theoretical Physics, University of New York, Michio Kaku, renowned worldwide for its bold predictions. He was the first representatives of official science rose to defend these crazy projects, like creating a time machine, and a perpetual motion machine, as well as the emergence of devices that can turn a man into invisibility and immediately move it to anywhere in the world, or even another planet. Versions of their appearance on the technologies that have now violate the known laws of physics, but tomorrow may be very real, he has published on its website mkaku. org, as part of the lecture announced at the Second Innovation convention in St. Petersburg.
2020: nanorobots ...
This year, human civilization will triumph over the many diseases that are considered incurable today. Kaku connects these expectations with a breakthrough in the diagnosis. For human health around the clock to keep an eye on electronic chips laced with household appliances. Even an ordinary trip to the bathroom will be shared with the procedure invisible full body medical examination.
Imagine that DNA chips, which are encrypted in the DNA of bacteria, viruses, cancer cells in your Mount the toilet. And once again you go to the bathroom, the chip makes instant analysis and finds you have cancer cells long before the appearance of the tumor.
The chips will be embedded not only in the plumbing. Microscopic video camera and the chip can be built, such as aspirin. Swallowed it, the camera takes the stomach and passes the information on a supercomputer the size of a button, which is implanted, for example, your finger. And if the case is serious, then the computer itself will cause a doctor - but not from the clinic, and the virtual. And the one with a special device to run your batch of nanoparticles - ...
2025: Genes are written on a flash drive.
Each person will be recorded on the flash drive with it 's own genome - it will replace health card. Decoding the DNA of hundreds of thousands of much cheaper. Compare: if in 2009 a complete map of the DNA was worth a million dollars in 2010 - 50 thousand dollars, in 2025 it will cost just $ 200.
2030: PC DISAPPEAR.
Computers will become invisible, as will be everywhere, like today, electricity - in the wall, ceiling, the floor will disappear, millions of chips. There will be one-off computer equipment. The necessary files will be written with a portable chip may be implanted directly into the body.
And the entrance to the Internet will provide contact lenses. The image will be formed before my eyes with translucent, not hinder vision LEDs. The device can recognize faces, the automatic translation from foreign languages and bring to the attention of other information. On a prototype of such a device now already working at the University of Washington (Seattle). Thanks to virtual people will be able to watch programs and movies starring roles in which they will perform.
2035: OLD BODIES replaced with new.
This year's expected appearance in the free sale of various ...
Any body can we grow from a patient's own cells - says Kaku, a colleague, Dr. Anthony Atala of Wake Forest University. - The sponge-like plastic base planted cells taken from a patient. After adding the catalyst for the cells begin to multiply, and the base is gradually resorbed. It will be a real revolution in bioengineering: do not wait for a donor and will not be rejection.
2040: read other people's thoughts.
The most audacious prediction: people may possess telepathy. But it is not magic, and technical.
Today paralyzed patients implanted in the brain circuits through which they are trained force thought to write emails, play video games and surf the Internet - explains the essence of forecasting another colleague Kaku, Kendrick Kay of the University of California at Berkeley. - A Honda Corporation engineers have already begun to create a ...
YEAR 2045: Mammoth revive.
This year, scientists will return to a life of extinct animals by genetic manipulation.
Experts were able to clone the already lost 25 years ago, the animal on samples of DNA taken from his remains - says Dr. Kaku forecast Biology Robert Lanza of Advanced Cell Technology Corporation. - You can revive and mammoths. In addition, even the Neanderthal genome, genetics, and plan to revive this kind of.
2050: Circling the universe on Solar Sail.
In order to travel to other planets, Kaku relies on the creation of a solar sail - a spacecraft with the engine running at the expense of pressure on the mirror surface sunlight. It can accelerate up to half the speed of light - 150,000 km / sec. And then to Mars will be to turn in just three months.
Around the same time be held breakthrough in space tourism, associated with the creation of a space elevator. On the rope length is almost one hundred thousand miles, consisting of ultra-strong carbon nanotubes, will go up the lift, powered by solar panels. It is planned that the device will be in orbit up to 100 tons of cargo per week. For him into space will go up and people. Testing of the prototype elevator carries an American company Liftport Group.
2055 - 2095 YEARS: will be different.
CARS: All cars be equipped with built-in navigation system, and will manage computers. Accident almost disappear. Automobiles will be cheaper than a parking space for their.
PLANES: Planes will do to warn pilots and controllers of any malfunctions. In addition, if necessary, they can turn into a rocket.
HOMES: Houses are equipped with huge screens that will allow their residents to communicate with their loved ones anywhere in the world. Virtual assistants will look after the children and household chores to do robots.
JOB: Travel to work would be meaningless. Employees will be able to communicate with colleagues anywhere in the world, with special programs office.
2100: EVERYTHING WILL OCCUR FROM NOTHING.
Dreams come true scholars of the ...
To date, created the special microchips the size of a pinhead, called the cut - says Professor Kaku. - By changing the electrical charge, they can regroup, so take the form of a sheet of paper, then the cup, then forks, the plates. A possible will come and the days when whole cities will be getting up in the desert by pressing.
And by this time people will merge with robots. According to another expert, Dr. Rodney Brooks of MIT, the human body so radically changed with the help of genetic modification, that the development of Homo sapiens is no longer limited to the evolution of Darwin.
Another point of view.
Doctor of Physics, Research Centre of the Ministry of Defence of the United States, Jonathan Huebner:.
...
According to my projections, as soon as the pace of progress will slow down. Moreover, they can reach the level of the middle ages. How is this possible? .
and the number of the world's population. The higher this percentage, the more progressive than we are. Thus, the highest peak of technological society has reached the end of XIX century. The plot of the scientific and technological development of our civilization, we are with our colleagues predicted that by 2014 the pace of technological innovations per capita will fall to the level of the medieval.
