Someone needs to do a big write up on the uses of Carbon Nanotubes and how they are probably one of the best things ever.

recently a lab in japan discovered a way to actively flicker a theater screen using existing single projection techniques by just adding what essentialy is a filter before the image exits the projector.
achieving 3D without the use of the annoying glasses or additional projectors.
also anti-gravity isn't even theoretical at this point because they have yet to prove the existence of the graviton, or any particles that affect gravity, so it shouldn't be classified as in research

You should work in some hotlinks of examples and interesting articles into the OP.
[QUOTE=dorkson0;37377735]Sounds gimmicky, but I'm probably wrong.
Like the 3D in Nintendo 3DS, I was like "Woaaahh" before I realized the trick to it.[/QUOTE]
its almost exactly like the 3Ds, which has a filter in one of the layers of the screen

also i cant even find anything on the internet about hypertelescoptic, could you clarify what/where you got the term

Ctrl-f "singularity"
nothing
i'm disappointed

absolutely love the concept. will be ecstatic if it becomes a thing
I don't really get vertical farms. Surely you have to put artificial light on all but the highest layers, negating the savings you make?
The future is awesome!

you do indeed have to use artificial lighting and heating, and here is a fairly even handed criticism of the idea

honestly though, I like the aesthetics more than anything else at the moment
[editline]24th August 2012[/editline]
also it miiight be solved using a slanted design (see first picture) but I have no idea if that would actually work

if not, use NUCLEAR REACTORS IN EVERY FARM

That 3rd one would work amazingly on spacecraft going on light-year distance voyages. Unless we get cyrogenics first.
Looking forward to Cloning and Transhumanism and more advanced Artifical Intelligence.
Does space travel count as a topic for this thread?
Nearly forgot about more usable rail/gauss/coil guns

I do believe it does.
I'd never heard of vertical farming, reading about it now and it seems quite inetersting but not very energy efficient. I guess the closest thing we can do now is to have a greenhouse on top of every skyscraper but I think that's not gonna happen any time soon.

Most likely, but I wonder how 24/7 light would effect yield.

As someone who is attempting to start a hydroponics business, I think this thread is fucking awesome.
An abundant future and transhumanism.
There actually making a real Tau cannon? That is amazing, but Anti-matter weapons sound very unpredictable and a little too dangerous.

Considering how short Taus last, I don't think they have any practical use on the horizon. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tau_(particle)[/url]
I always wonder how people will look back to this time period in 2500. Whether maybe then the music that is good today will be the equivalent of Mozart or Beethoven today.
This stuff is important, and people on FP seem to have a very star trek view of how the future is going to be, and I really think people need to see that we are in for the best and worst of times in the next 80 years.
But posting big text walls isn't the way to do that.
Interplanetary internet by 2025? Rainbows rainbows rainbows rainbows.
