I believe that all life on this planet came from elsewhere in the universe. And only the life forms that can quickly reproduce and spread to other planets get to live on. Our meta species has not yet reached the time where we explode and s

Even then it would probably not end our species. Even if every country had nuclear weapons and simultaneously vaporized every square inch of land surface (very unlikely), there would be a few carnival cruises and people who escaped to unde

Our planet needs to create at least one offspring with a good chance of sprouting a fresh batch of DNA based life on another planet before we send ourselves back into the stone age. If we don't, there are only so many shots left for u

This: "Illegal looking" law could be expanded later on to require hardware shutters on a persons eyes. So when they step on a farm, a machine checks to make sure your eyes are completely covered. Then later on, we may also have to

The question is, which civilization will most thoroughly utilize the superpower that is the internet and getting millions of people to act in unison, as one. We will need new founding fathers to re-write the book on what the most perfect un

Self healing cables. You could use three parallel cables separated from each other by struts, with sufficient margin of safety that severing just one or two strands still allows the surviving strand to hold the elevator's entire weigh

Hives and colonies where the drones don't contribute to the direction are better at staying alive and brute forcing any goal, mowing down an opponent through violence, keeping the colony and hive alive against the individual interests

I have an idea, how about the government stay the hell away from my smartphone and let the free market decide what smartphones are theft-safe and which are not? This is why computer science should be a required subject going forward, only i

These handheld devices will someday become so close to us that it will be difficult to tell where the device ends and where the human begins. Someday large segments of the population are going to gladly submit some control of their mind to

The maker's passion and drive can be re-ignited in some extreme circumstances. For example, drop the critter down on a deserted island where their only way off is building a boat. Will the boat get built or will they call for help un
