Just some thoughts... Dementia - Not a real solution but we force people to move often thereby erasing their associative memories. Houses could stay in the family so that one can grow up and grow old there, surrounded by objects triggering memories. (think of them like checksums)[0] Water - Use offshore wind turbines to throw water up in the air. Some vaporises into clouds, the rest goes back with the salt. [1][2] (there is some academic work on this that I cant find, it used a vertical axle turbine shaped like an egg beater, the water was carried up the arms by the centrifugal force) Flight - Use air evacuated maglev tubes.[3] Antibiotics - vibrate the body on the resonant frequency of the disease. If something has a fixed shape it has a resonant frequency. When matched it makes life unbearable for any single cell creature or virus. It cant dampen it's vibrations anymore.[4][5] (10 cents per patient kind of profits) Paralysis - I'm clueless about this one. Food - Permaculture includes A self-maintained agricultural systems modeled like natural ecosystems.[6][7] [0] - http://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2005/02/suzuki.aspx http://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2005/02/suzuki.aspx [1] - http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/05/12/every-silver-lining-has-a-cloud/ http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/05/12/every-silver-lining-ha...

Biofuel are actually a reasonable long term solution to the flight problem. Bulding a tube from NY to Hawaii is not.

  Can you grow biofuel crops in the ocean?
  - Retric 12y ago
    In theory, yes. In practice there is currently a massive food surplus and there is a lot of cheap land out there just add water.

      There is also a billion people living one-single-error away from starvation. The fact that we value their lives below the emotional well being of rich people that feel bad about the state of the environment (but aren't willing to give up any of their comforts for the sake of it) tells a lot of who we are and why we ended up with such a list in the first place.

        There are plenty of people that care about global poverty. The issue is there are no simple solutions because the problems are societal not technical. More than two-thirds of all agricultural land is devoted to growing feed for livestock. There are 1.4 Billion cattle right now, "simply" swapping 1/2 of that to chicken would free up enough food to easily support the poorest 2 billion people in the world. But, good luck actually changing peoples behavior on a global scale. Not to mention things like food waste etc. http://vitalsigns.worldwatch.org/vs-trend/farm-animal-populations-continue-grow http://vitalsigns.worldwatch.org/vs-trend/farm-animal-popula... PS: War and Corruption are far more important issues when it comes to global hunger than food production. EDIT: There is easily enough farm land right now to feed ~20 BILLION people a healthy and sustainable diet using current farming practices. Which is well behind and expected global population for the next 200 years.

Viruses don't have a fixed shape, so can't have a single resonant frequency. Take a look at x-ray crystallography of virus structures - even for non-eveloped capsid structures, there are many regions which can not be resolved. Also, any resonant frequency will change depending on the local environment; pH level, salt concentration, etc.. In any case, viruses are basically thermally coupled to a water bath, so while a virus "can't dampen its vibrations", the water it's sitting in certainly can. Your [4] has nothing to do with the topic, that I can tell. I looked at your video [5]. It doesn't have enough information to be meaningful. I didn't see a control as the reference, and I didn't see what happens at other frequencies. The presenter had to set an alarm because the amp was getting too hot and a 25 MHz radio source is basically a microwave oven - how hot was the water in the slide? Simple heat would explain all of the observations. In any case, many things can kill microorganisms in vitro. The problem is killing them in the body, without worse side effects - eg, how many human body cells will be disrupted by the same process?

  My interest in the topic is mere curiosity. So far, while it doesn't prove anything, the skeptical side of the argument is mostly nonsense. While yours isn't an exception I do have to say I've never seen a skeptic raise such elegant issues. For completely uninformed conjecture yours is most admirable. It reads as if you know what you are talking about (at least the medical part) (I cant think of a nice way to say "conjecture", sorry about that.) The link is there because physicists claim an optical microscope is limited to Rayleigh criterion.[0] Their uninformed conjecture holds that Rife's microscope[1] is not possible. After imagining the microscope not to exist it of course follows "logically" that Rife could not adjust the frequencies to those variations in shape and ph that you so elegantly pointed out. But try telling that to the medical professionals looking though the microscope? A bit like going to the airport to tell people heavier than air flying machines are impossible. According to the physicists the further Rife zoomed in the less credible he gets.

Kendall, Director of Medical Research at Northwestern University and Dr. Milbank Johnson of Pasadena Hospital. Dr. Alvin G. Frood, President of the American Association of Pathologists joined Rife's research. Moving microorganisms from prepared, diseased human tissue were photographed and filmed. On November 20, forty-four doctors attended a dinner to celebrate "The End To All Diseases" at the Pasadena estate of Dr. Johnson[2] in 1932, Kendall speaks before the Assoc. of American Physicians at Johns Hopkins University about the successes with Rife's methods and treatments. In 1933, Richard Edwin Shope discovered the first mammalian tumor virus. Also in 1933, Rife completes the universal microscope.
