The universal translator is a well-known staple of some science fiction TV shows such as Star Trek but from a real life and scientific perspective the question then becomes: is it possible to create this technology sometime in the 21st Century? At Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh scientists have prototypes […]
Fusion power is distinctly different from fission power in that it produces little radioactive waste, some physicists even predict that we may have this technology by 2030. Other than being a tremendous source of potential electrical power, nuclear fusion power may also perhaps solve our biggest existential threat in this […]
In my opinion antimatter will be the eventual solution to interstellar space travel due to its efficiency in using small amounts of it to produce large distances in space travel. At CERN they are able to produce several trillionths of a gram of antimatter at a cost of $20 million. […]
Known as the bane of the web developer’s existence, Internet Explorer is not only a nuisance to web developers but also a large roadblock in terms of innovation. Microsoft describes Internet Explorer as a “compatibility solution” and no longer recommends continued use of it. Microsoft sort of caused this problem […]
Do you like the fact that computers, smartphones and other electronic devices are doubling in speed every 18 months? Be Prepared to be disappointed as Moore’s Law is coming to an end soon, and with it the speed improvements that we have been accustomed to our whole lives. In fact, […]
Michio Kaku’s book Physics of the future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100 provides a tremendous amount of insight into the future from the perspective of a world-renowned physicist. Influenced by the book Paris in the Twentieth Century, a book written by […]
When I walked into my local movie theatre to watch Fast and Furious presents: Hobbs and Shaw I was surprised to find out the main antagonists in the film were similar to Elon Musk’s Neuralink (except for the fact that Musk’s organization hasn’t shown an appetite for collateral damage around […]
The Soviet Venera program was a series of space probes marking the first robotic exploration program that took place on another planet. The first Venera probe failed to leave Earth’s atmosphere and in typical Soviet fashion was not revealed to have failed due to their policy of not announcing a […]
Former NASA Administrator Charles Bolden indicated in the past that the International Space Station has an expiry date of 2028. I strongly believe that all efforts should be made to ensure that it lasts until 2033 so that the infrastructure and man power behind the station is operational during the […]
China may soon become the first nation on Earth to reach the far side of the moon with the launch of the Queqiao relay satellite from Sichuan province. Historically it has been difficult to establish communication between the moon and the Earth on the far side of the moon, but […]
