Prediction Of Scientific And Technological Development.

[Konstantinos]

In this topic we will discuss about scientific and technological development. Anyone can do an anticipating. In future we will see who is correct.

I begin with a short story of most importants facts last century:

1) Theory of relativity.

2) Quantum mechanics.

3) Gödel's incompleteness theorems.

4) Computers, communications and internet.

5) 1969: Manned mission to land on the moon.

And my predictions for the next 30 years (2041):

1) Wireless transmission of electrical energy.

2) Colonies on the moon and Mars.

3) Everyone will have quantum computer.

4) 100% electrical society (with electric cars, electric robots, etc).

5) 99.9% accurate forecast (weather) for the next month.

6) A new physics theory, more important than theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.

And many others that I will say in future.

So what is your opinion?

Hmmmm, I disagree with the colonies on the moon and Mars, and the forecasts.

I would add though...

Artificial intelligence must have a good shot in that time.

The possibility of extending human life to hundreds of years also.

Will mechanical human parts become the norm or will stem cell therapy and individual organ production take off?

The first fusion plants to be built.

Contact with ETI maybe?

The first fusion plants and wireless electrical energy have already been created but are in the testing phase.

I would say that by 2050 we will have been to the gas giants and Titan in addition to Mars although i doubt colonies will exist.

AI i believe will exist (lets hope they don't get our traits).
