Predictions for the future?

[mmerry]

My prediction for the future is the US government will get rid of the deficit, pass all legislation with meaningful compromises and end all bickering.

One can dream.

One can dream hallucinate.

FTFY...... lol

I have seen suggestions quantum teleportation of energy may be possible, if this can be realised then we may have part of the solution that would be needed for interstellar travel (but in our lifetimes it may still be applied to travel within our solar system). The key part here is it brings closer the possibility that we may be able to travel with 1G acceleration (this can have a dramatic effect on journey times).

For the immediate future room temperature superconductors and fusion reactors may potentially reverse global warming - not a bad thing to aim for.

I am currently reading "Quantum - Einstein, Bohr and the Great Debate Avout the Nature of Reality". Is a very interesting field I am quite interested in as interstellar travel.

I'll drive my 1996 Holden Commodore till it - and me - both die, lol

Reminds me of a customer I once had. Sole Practitioner dentist who was in his mid '70's when I first went over. He was using a practice package that ran in DOS. As we went through the OS's, 98 then ME and lastly XP, I'd have to figure out how to get it working in each one. I kept on bugging him to get an updated practice software like PracticeWorks. When he saw the conversion costs plus new package pricing he told me he's not going to do anything. If he can't run it anymore he'll retire. If he dies it doesn't matter since he's dead. lol

Or someone steals it.

Ultimately the biggest issue with interstellar travel is the distance factor (with even the nearest star being over 4 light years away). Warping spacetime aside, a major limitation is how long it takes to even reach interstellar velocities (even at 1G it takes the best part of a year to approach light speed and you still need to slow down before you reach your destination). Overall 1G has many benefits but requires an enormous amount of energy if it is to be sustained over a prolonged period. If energy teleportation turns out to be a practical solution then many of the issues could be resolved (we could also anticipate a reduction in the spacecraft's mass as well).

Yes the other issue is biology at this point in time it is simply not feasible, that is why in my thoughts that A.I would be implemented. I think that water and electromagnetic fision could be implemented in some kind of energy vortex to harness boundless energy, the issue is controlling such a field of energy. The water can affect the rotational and the vibrational affect of the magnetic field to power such a device. Also as you stated the cooling down proceess to stop such a force would need to be slowly decreased within the field to 'escape' the jump of timespace. At this point in time one needs a gigantic structure to try to harness fision, like that of the sun. Though as all things it will take time and the necessary resources to construct such a device. Many of the minerals and materials required may not even exist in our known periodic table.
