[Kote of the scientist] The future is coming.0
The future is coming, it will come, very soon. What will it be? What will bring? Only time will tell. In the meantime, we can only dream of him. What was magic yesterday, today there is only a sufficiently developed technology, although it still has some “magic”, that is, special attractiveness and beauty. Classic example: transmutation – cornerstone of alchemy.
Alchemy-an indispensable satellite of fantasy-game
Transmutation – This is the transformation of an unsuccessful metal (mercury, lead) into noble (gold). For centuries, alchemists tried to carry out a transmutation, for this they were looking for a philosophical stone (the quintessence of wisdom and enlightenment), but they did not achieve success. In the 19th century, few people believed in the implementation of transmutation, even Mendeleev wrote that one atom could not turn into another. But Mendeleev was mistaken, 11 years after his death in 1919, Rutherford carried out the first artificial nuclear reaction. He bombarded the atoms of light elements (nitrogen) alpha particles (Helia-4 nuclei), as a result, new elements (oxygen-18 and hydrogen core) were formed. The ancient dream has come true! This blog is dedicated to this – dreams! Dreams of the future!
First artificial nuclear reaction (transmutation)
Science predicting the future is called futurology. Methods of studying futurology closely relax it with history and forecasting, and interest in the future with science fiction. Futurologists are often compared with the authors of science fiction, and some science fiction writers are recognized as futurologists (Arthur Clark, Isaac Azimov, Stanislav Lem). This is not surprising, because fiction, especially scientific, is a window into the world of the future. True, a window with crooked glasses, strongly distorting the look. And all because it is impossible to accurately predict what the world will become in the future, even for 10 years in advance. Nevertheless, the “window” is very useful, because through it the light of hope, the light of inspiration passes through it.
Aelita is a classic fantastic Soviet dumb film 1924. Tsiolkovsky was the main consultant to the film.
Many scientists grew up on the fantastic works of Herbert Wells, Jules Verne, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and others. And thanks to the students, fantastic ideas from robots, ending with human flights into space, like transmutation, became a reality.
Some ideas of science fiction writers entered the annals of theoretical science. So in 1895 the book of Herbert Wells was published «Time machine «, which introduced the idea of traveling in time and the time used for this time, which were used later by many writers and created the direction of chronophaantics. Moreover, as Yu noted. AND. Karelitsky, both scientifically and in the overall terms of Welles «… in a certain sense anticipated Einstein», who formulated a special theory of relativity ten years after the release of the novel.
Delorian and Tardis are one of the most famous time machines.
Time travels are devoted to many films, for example, the masterpiece trilogy of Robert Zemeckis «Back to the future», English series «Doctor Who». Games also did not stand aside, in games such as «Timeshift» And «Singularity» The gameplay is completely built on time travel.
.
Back to the bright Soviet past! It is noteworthy that Singularity and Timeshift are somehow connected with the Russians. If in the first game they are enemies, then the second game was made by Russians.
Is it possible to travel in time? The general theory of relativity says that there is a similar possibility. To do this, you can use «Mole -holes», That is, the hypothetical feature of the topology of space-time, which is at every moment of time the «tunnel» in space. But for the existence of a passing mole hole, it is necessary that it be filled with exotic matter with a negative energy density creating strong gravitational repulsion and prevents the collapse of the hole. Unfortunately, this type of matter has not yet been opened.
Like a view of a “meek hole” from 4 measures of time
Therefore, a journey into the past remains a big question. And perhaps this is for the better, otherwise all kinds of temporary paradoxes could arise. Although they can be allowed in principle, I know so far that two options. The first one says that all events are already predetermined, which means that if you are traveling into the past, then whatever you do there, this will not change your present time at all. Due to the fact that this has already happened in your past, you were there earlier, and by your movement in time you made a story as it should be.
Another option is a slight trick, not quite a movement in time, but moving into a parallel world, where events took place exactly, as well as in your world, only with a time delay for a certain period of time (minute, hour, year, age, era). Then, by your visit to this world, you can change events in it dramatically, and at the same time your world will not change. Just the game is devoted to this type of chronicle «Bioshock: Infinite» And one of the series «Sliding». And this idea does not contradict the scientific picture of the world, because there is a multi -liter interpretation of quantum mechanics, which suggests that perhaps there are, in a sense, “parallel universes”, each of which has the same laws of nature and which are characterized by the same world constant, but which are in various states. Although this theory does not imply the real presence of other worlds, it offers only one real world, which is described by a single wave function, which, however, to complete the process of measuring any quantum event, must be divided into an observer (which is measured) and an object described by each with its wave function. However, this can be done in different ways, and therefore, the result is different values of the measured value and, characterized, different observers are obtained. Therefore, it is believed that with each act of measuring the quantum object, the observer, as it were, breaks down into several (presumably, unlimitedly many) versions. Each of these versions sees its own measurement result and, acting in accordance with it, forms its own measurement of the history and version of the universe. And this means that not only the future is vague, but the same, the past. The events that you remember could have occurred in a different way, up to the point that you were never born.
Nobody understands the quantum mechanics and this is normal
But there are much less problems with traveling to the future, all the more so we are constantly making this journey. True, this is one -way trip, for the arrow of time is so arranged that it passes in only one direction, from the past to the future, bypassing the present real. Thanks to this fact, it is quite possible to implement several ways to move over time:
The first method is cryogenic freezing, in which your body will be subjected to special freezing, then in the future you should defrost. There are already a number of companies that offer services for freezing your body after death. Why only after death? Because the modern level of scientific progress does not allow to return to the life of a frozen person. This is caused by crystallization of fluids during frost that destroys the cells of the body. It is assumed that in the future people will learn how to defrost in such a way as to return the body to life. Also, freezing methods should improve, make them less rude. For example, pump special fluids instead of blood that will not form crystals dangerous for cells.
Philip Jay Fry is one of the most famous «scumbags»
The second method is relativistic effects. Relativistic effects are understood to mean manifestations at high rates of the principle of relativity. That is, the closer your speed to light, the slower for you the time will proceed.
Gemini paradox is one of the most famous paradoxes of the special theory of relativity.
The third method is based on the general theory of relativity, claiming that space-time is distorted under the influence of massive bodies. This means that the more massive the body, the time in the field of its gravity will proceed more slowly, up to its complete stop for objects such as black holes. Theoretically, you can fly around the edge of the horizon of the event of a black hole. During this flight, watches will pass for you, and for everything else the world of the year, or maybe even a century and millennia.
The tie of the Andromed television series begins with the fact that the Creure of the Commonwealth of Andromeda enters for several centuries into a black hole.
Some games have a gameplay feature-a slowdown in time, the so-called Bullet Time or Slow-Mo. This feature has become the main feature of the games of the series Max Payne. A similar effect has been used in cinema and photographs for more than one year to give the special artistry of what has been happening, as well as in scientific research of rapidly leaving processes.
Old Max
To create Slow-MO, high-speed cameras are used to observe fast-flowing processes that are inaccessible to a person’s awareness. Cameras have found their application in many areas, both science and art.
This is just 1,000,000 Personnel per second. https://gxspincasino.co.uk/ But at the Massachusetts Technological Institute, they developed a camera that can shoot at speeds before One trillion of personnel per second. This is enough to fix the spread of the flash of light. The material shot within a few minutes is subjected to mathematical processing, after which you can observe the tie -up of the process.
It can be seen how the light spreads through the bottle. At such a frequency, a bullet would fly about a year with a slowdown of up to 24 FPS.

There is a philosophical course of transhumanism. The worldview of its adherents is based on a rational understanding of the achievements and prospects of science, recognizing the possibility of fundamental changes in the person’s position with the help of advanced technologies in order to eliminate suffering, aging and death, as well as a significant strengthening of the physical, mental and psychological capabilities of a person. One of the main concepts of transgumanism is the augmentation (lat. Augmentation, to increase, strengthen, enhance), that is, improvement using the fruits of technical development. These can be various devices, gadgets, cybernetic prostheses or a change in a person at a biological level, through genetic engineering.
Man is a god on prostheses.
Recently, augmented reality has been gaining more and more popularity. Augmented reality is a visual addition to the real world, by projecting and introducing any virtual, imaginary objects to the real space (on the screen of a computer, phone and similar devices). It happens that the phrases “expanded reality”, sometimes “improved reality”, and even less often “enriched reality” use the synonyms. Its essence is well disclosed in games «Syndicate» And «Ghost Recon: Future Soldier», where she plays the role of an auxiliary interface that expands the possibility of perceiving information from the surrounding world. And in the game «Eye Pet» there is an opportunity to play with a cute beast.
In the graduation project of a group of students of the Academy of Arts Bezaleal The conceptual supplemented reality is shown, which is transmitted through special lenses in the form of games and achievements. Is this a future awaits us? Augmented reality glasses will soon appear on the market, and the game as I already told you has always been an integral part of a person’s existence.
Each of us at least once in our life would like to become invisible, at least like Predator. In the future it will become real. The Japanese have been working on optocomplex for many years. So far, that they are realized by the same supplemented reality. A good way to hide from cameras.
Robotics enters our life more and more. The word itself «robot» It was invented by the Czech writer Karelle Chapek and his brother Joseph and was first used in the play of Chapek «R. U. P.» («Rossum universal robots»,1920). Let us not notice, but our life is no longer replaced without robots. They are mainly used in various industries, saving the human resource and working where a person cannot work.
Nyashka Kuriositi-the famous robot marcerer
The time will come, and robots will replace a person on the battlefield. In the meantime, that they play only an auxiliary role such as reconnaissance or charging charges. In the series «Ghost Recon» The interaction of a person and machine is well shown. Drones greatly simplify the battle process due to timely intelligence. Who has information – he has a victory.

Meanwhile, Koreans create a replacement for goalkeepers in the form of automated toilets shooting football balls. Asians are such Asians ..

The US military uses Xbox 360 gamepads to manage rabots-saturations. But in the future, new devices will be replaced. Kinect, move, nunchaki wii were only the beginning of the revolution in interaction with virtual space and technology.
The ideological heir to Kinect – The Leap, is a small USB device developed for the user table. Its technology is based on the capture of movement. The Leap positions itself as a convenient tool for modeling objects in 3D space. It can also be used as a movement controller in games.
(The video provided Kostildo)
The deficiency of The Leap is the need for a chamber, because of this, the device is applicable only as a stationary. This problem was solved by the Canadian company Thalmic Labs introducing its unusual gadget, which allows you to remotely control digital devices using gestures. The novelty is called Myo and is a bracelet put on hand.
The novelty is synchronized with other devices through Bluetooth connection, After that, the user can work remotely with presentations, view pages on the Internet, play video games, manage the player and much more. According to the developer, the bracelet is able to determine the movement of “each individual finger”, as well as “small movements of the hand in any direction”.
Gesture management will sooner or later outstart. Direct management of the power of the mind – followed by the future!
OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator – quite suitable for use module for reading nerve impulses. It is mainly intended for managing computer games and, in general, solves this problem quite successfully.
The system removes the potential difference, perceiving the signals that occur during mental modeling of movements in the muscles of the face. The control module requires individual calibration, after which you can assign commands of the game (for example, moving) for the operation of electrical impulses that occur during the stress of the facial muscles. In addition, alpha and beta-rhythms of the brain are controlled.
In the work, this thing, however, is not so simple. To use Nia 100%, you will definitely have to practice. The easiest way to master the management of the muscular sensor. Actually, for this it is enough to put on a hoop and move at least something. You can muscles on the forehead – they definitely eat there, you can ears (even if you can’t move your ear, the system will record the signal). But as the experiments showed the easiest to squeeze the teeth, it is possible to more accurately control the signal power, regulating the force of compression of the jaws.
It’s a little more difficult to get a look to pull it so that Nia reliably caught this event. The system also has the opportunity to control using alpha and beta rhythms- but this is already a Jedi path. You can get used to the muscular sensor in half an hour, the gaze requires a three-four-hour training, but the conscious control of alpha and beta rhythms will require at least a month.
In the system, this function is called “cerebellarities”, theoretically it can be controlled by three alpha rhythms and three-beta. We have mastered one wise guy in a week, but it still did not work very reliably – thoughts and emotions must be controlled simply by iron.
Nia costs about 6,000 rubles.
The warrior of the future is the explosive alloy of military training, bioenginery, powerful uniforms. Devices of augmented reality will allow him to continue to see more and continue, the instruments of thought control will give full control over weapons and equipment, and exoskeletons will give not human strength and endurance.
Life is a difficult thing, sometimes terrible things happen from which none of us is safe. As a result, you can lose a particle of yourself both in the figurative and literally.
Soul wounds are more deeper than bodily wounds. The hardest ones overcoming them. Bodily heals much faster.
We live in the times in which a revolution in the field of prosthetics is about to occur. A person and a car will breed a new form of life, a more perfect, strong, hardy, smart. Can even get to the point that people will specially sit under the knife in order to become better augmentations. Will people remain people? I think that to some extent yes, but to some. Nature is so arranged that nothing disappears aimlessly and does not come, everything has a price. Cybersprosthetics also has its own price and a number of pitfalls, which will appear only in the future. In the meantime, we’ll see what the successes in this matter are at the moment.
A couple of years ago Bebionic showed his development of a hand prosthesis, which journalists called «a look into the future prosthetics». Currently, the company has improved the design of the device and its functions.
Bebionic3 is a prosthesis that uses the residual voltage of the signals from the muscles and converts it into movements. At the same time, the prosthesis reproduces a number of unique motor functions.
So far in the arsenal of the device 14 provisions and captures. In addition, a glove of the color of human skin of a real hand is offered to the Bebionic3 hand.
Until now, bionic prostheses have been able to record the signals of the brain addressed to the amputated limb, and convert them into the corresponding movements, but at the same time the feedback between an artificial limb and the brain was absent.
Swiss scientists are preparing to implant the new generation bionic hand that they have developed, which first restores the recipient of touching. As reported Lenta.ru, He spoke about the latest development of his group, speaking on February 18 at the conference of the American Academy of Scientific Progress (AAAS), Dr. Silvestro Micera from the conference of the American Academy of Scientific Ecole Polytechnique Fedurale (Lausanne).
(For help in finding the material thanks Almit)
Hands are one of the most important parts of the human body, they allow you to manipulate the surrounding space, change and transform it in accordance with its will.
Legs are no less important, the fullness of life without legs is very difficult to evaluate. That is why enhanced developments in the creation of bionic legs are underway.
«All ingenious is simple» – Ancient truth. And once again the athlete proves it to us Oscar Pistorius.
With eye prosthetics, everything is much more complicated. A transplant of one eye to another is already being conducted, but replacing it with a technical analogue is a matter of the future.
The first person with an artificial eye-camera appeared in Canada. Such an unusual prosthetics risked the local director – tested – Rob Spence. The apparatus has already passed the first tests that confirmed the successful implantation of the implant. The director himself intends to use a new modification for cinema, carrying out a shooting using a camera-eye.
Implantation of a video device is not a whim-Rob Spence, living in Toronto, in childhood received a serious injury (gunshot wound), which entailed loss of vision by one eye. So from early childhood, after surgery and recovery, Rob had to wear a special prosthesis, however, a completely ordinary purpose – imitating the eyeball, so as not to confuse others.
At a certain moment, the idea came to somehow improve the prosthesis, making it useful, and the most logical solution seemed to integrate the video camera, t.To. By the nature of the activity, he is engaged in shooting films. Having studied the achievements in these areas, as well as conducting many experiments with the help of specialist developers, a prosthesis was invented Eyeborg Project (Cyborgized eye project).
The eye was successfully implanted to the patient, and on April 27, tests and various experiments of the new device were completed. The first trial video about such technologies was immediately shot, it can be found below. It is noteworthy, in the video there was a place for advertising Deus Ex: Human Revolution, our bad and favorite game about cyborg Adam Jensen.
The plans for the developers of electronic prostheses are an even more ambitious goal – the connection of the eye nerves with electronics to transmit images to a person. In the meantime, the camera translates the record only on external electronic devices.
What will cybernetic prostheses make? Certainly not from ordinary iron, steel, metals, but from various composite materials. The development of the chemical industry brings tremendous fruits. Already in Russia, my teacher in chemical technology has been created Plastic ceramics – a unique material that has practically no analogues in the world. Its scope is wide: from bone prosthetics to use in the nuclear industry. But these are just flowers!
We all saw the movie Terminator 2, The robot is especially remembered in it T-1000 liquid. Already now there is a special magnetic fluid – Ferrozhida. Ferrozhida is a dispersed system consisting of highly fragmented magnetic particles, which under the influence of a magnetic field are built along power lines – and create indescribable abstract figures …
Airgel Frozen smoke («Frozen smoke») by 99 percent consists of air and 1 – of silicon anhydride. This gives him amazing properties: extraordinary ease, a brick from this gel can freeze in the air, and it is also fireproof.
Superconductor – a material that, under certain conditions, acquires superconducting properties. This is achieved by lowering the temperature much lower than the water freezing temperature, while the electrical resistance of the material decreases to zero. Superconductors allow you to create levitation devices. But unfortunately, due to need at low temperatures, their use is significantly limited.
Studies are currently conducted in the field of superconductivity in order to increase the temperature of the transition to a superconducting state to room. This will marry Scientific and technical revolution.
Just imagine: flying skates like in the film «Back to the future» will become a reality!
The frog levitates in a strong magnetic field. This is called Meissner’s effect, This is a complete displacement of the magnetic field from the volume of the conductor when it moves to the superconducting state.
The main question arises – where to get all the energies? This is the main problem of modern civilization. The more we develop, the more we need energy. Unfortunately, the more energetic the fuel, the more difficult it is to handle it, hence environmental disasters. The energy of energy resources also leaves its mark. Renewable environmentally friendly energy sources such as solar panels, windmills, tidal generators are not effective, moreover, their creation requires large energy consumption and a very complex production technology, which in itself is harmful to the ecology (for example, obtaining oversonal pure silicon for photocells). As a result, environmentally friendly energy sources pay for energy expended for their production 5-10 years after operation. And they are not as environmentally friendly as it might seem at first glance. Windmills change the wind rose, which leads to soil erosion, they also destroy birds and emit ultrasound, which is harmful to the health of animals and man. Solar panels reduce the ambient temperature, and clear weather is needed for their work, although this can be used in hot arid countries. Tidal generators change the currents, and the hydroelectric station is not everywhere you can build. Paradoxical, but now the safest and most effective source of energy is the nuclear power plant. TEP throws much more radiation into the atmosphere than nuclear power plants. This is due to the fact that the coal contains radioactive isotopes that are thrown out during burning. Of course, for nuclear power plants there is a problem of burial nuclear waste. This is an open problem over which many scientists are fighting. Theoretically, it can synthesize minerals from the waste like Brannerite, then they will become chemically inert, which means that they are resistant to nature and will not pose a threat to humans. After all, radioactive isotopes are dangerous in that they enter the human body, replacing ordinary chemical elements on radioactive. A person has natural protection against certain doses of radiation, but if he constantly irradiates, then this protection will stop working. That is why radioisotopes are so dangerous when they enter the body. They constantly irradiate a person. If they are connected in a chemically strong compound, the threat of them is minimalized, moreover, terrorists will not be able to use these minerals, since to extract the radio component a very complex (industrial scale) chemical technology will be required. The transformation of radio waste into minerals would kill several birds with one at once. Unfortunately, now there is not enough funding for this area. And the process is complicated, to obtain a mineral you need very high pressure and temperature. It is possible that radioactive waste will find any use, this would be the best way out. In the meantime, that it remains to hope for future discoveries and decisions.
The creation of a thermonuclear reactor can solve the problem of lack of energy. Fuel for him in bulk. The thermonuclear reactor is almost safe for the environment. If the accident happens, then the plasma will quickly go out, there will be no such badabum as in «Dark Knight: Return of the Legend». The radiation danger is minimal. Thermonuclear energy is the best solution to the problem of the energy crisis at the moment. Only create such a reactor so far, which is not possible, because we need colossal investments, trillions of dollars! As well as the joint work of a number of states and the best minds of the planet. The process of its creation is going on, but very slowly. In the best case, the first working reactor will be created according to some estimates in 50 years. Let’s hope that oil and nuclear energy will be enough for us to have the moment fateful for humanity.
The power of solar energy in every house!
Who knows if these ideas will actually come true or will remain the concepts? Only time will show. The future is vague, and only our actions affect its development. Let’s not get a chtol?! 🙂
