When I scrolled over the link and saw the URL, my first thought was: how can a vacuum cleaner solve all Earth's problems?

And then I thought: yeah, but if it's one of those awesome vacuums that rolls around on a big ball instead of a bunch of little wheels, it just might WORK!

I almost fell out of my chair laughing at the beautiful irony of it all! Is that a serious website or some kind of elaborate hoax?:06:

Humans - the perfect candidates for extinction. Don't ask me why I think that, I don't want to rail on about what we take away and never return. Whether the website maintainers are serious or not, the 'message' is something that is in the human consciousness. I won't advocate voluntary extinction, but I really doubt the planet would suffer one bit if our kind died out. In fact, it had better happen soon or there won't be anything left here! :har:

Watch out Enterprise! You might get sucked (tractor beamed) in. This is an old sci-fi concept. Harvest all of a Sun's energy in an enclosed sphere... Noit in my lifetime, or the next twelve generations I suspect.

Don't worry the only thing that's keeping most of the world peace is FEAR which is a primal emotion that actually works . . .so far.

The concept of deterrence came about because people and by what I mean people is actually the governments and head of states (which are people) cannot be expected to be forced to see reason without some awful consequences.

This is a primitive way to maintain world peace which though has far since worked okay cannot be expected to continue to work in the long run. Because sometime somewhere a person may be feeling a little brave and may decide to gamble. This is especially true when the world is now seeing more countries with nuclear capabilities.

A revolution of mankind heart and soul is what necessary and is probably the most efficient way of ensuring world peace but this is not going to happen anytime soon and maybe not for a long time forward either. When people have nothing to look forward to after they die at least when they think that way and when they think that their deeds don't bring consequences unto themselves then they are capable of perpetrating almost anything under the illusion that their actions would not bring any consequences unto themselves. Yes there's law but admit it or not that just wouldn't work for the elite at least most of the time.

I just hope that the children of my children children' children don't come to realize that when the current deterrence failed in their time.

A personal spiritual revolution is what is needed. But sadly modern education pretty much neglects a spiritual side of man.

And it doesn't have to be about knowing God because God is hiding Himself from being known by most people and somehow put a value to faith, that is believing without knowing or believing because we don't always know his plans.

Funny thing is even government such as the Soviet Union is reported to have experimented with ghost by trying to utilize ghost to aid their cause but the general public are somehow made to renounce these beings though many older people may have had an encounter with such beings. The acknowledgement of spirits would bring about an acknowledgement of the existence of God since God is a spirit. But on other hand people with ill intent might try to abuse this knowledge too and many are already abusing the knowledge even since ancient time resulting in the practice of shamanism. Knowledge is indeed a double sided sword.

I'm just saying that there's more to life than what most people think there are already. I myself though haven't seen a ghost with my own eyes(I did see something but what I saw with my own eyes was not a ghost) have seen a number of these through mental picture or by sensing the ripple of energy that some of these beings emitted when moving or by strong feeling or intuition. It's rare thankfully but that happened 6 times and one even helped me to identify a friend who wanted to speak to me by flying across a classroom with plenty of people in broad daylight or one which I felt that came from God and which was without sin that made me unable to speak for some minutes or one which alerted me when trying to sleep by walking past the living room wall in the middle of the night(I assume he was bored).

People need to realize that there's life beyond this material world WITHOUT panicking or going overboard, WITHOUT falling to the trap of trying to utilize some of these BUT to acknowledge that God is a BIG possibility.

Similarly I thought "Hey, I purchased one of those last week....watch there'll be a special offer on I should have waited for" :oops:

Did you really? Is it as awesome as it looks like it is?

They are so expensive though, I can't justify to myself putting that much into a vac given how little floor space I have.

The Dyson fans I've seen look neat too. A local place here has them on sale this week... the small one is $300. :o

"Of course I did."

Scotty was there when Kirk "died" in Generations but whats the first thing he says when Riker mentions he is from the "Enterprise"? Jim Kirk must of brought her out of mothballs to come looking for him...

I am convinced, that in a few hundred thousand years or more, when some intelligent life form completes its history of the Earth, that the Human species will be listed as one of the failed species of the planet. :yep:

I'm convinced that within a few hundred years people won't even be able to remember why people ever thought that way. As it is, nobody remembers why people a few hundred years ago never thought to do most of the things we take for granted today. Humans are here to stay. We've done more in 12,000 years than most species do in their entire existence, and there no limit in sight as to what we are capable of.

Besides, if our sentience and the things it produces are our downfall, as so many suppose, it is unlikely that another sentient species would ever survive long enough to develop means to visit earth and chronicle its history. Would they not face the same challenges? If evolutionary theory is correct (and I believe it is) it would take a remarkable environment indeed to breed a species that never suffers from its own sentience.

How come I can't help but think of the Borg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg_%28Star_Trek%29) when I read that. :hmmm: A highly advanced species that doesn't suffer from its own sentience and merely wants to improve itself and all they encounter... :o

Building the Dyson Sphere that the science fiction writers talk about which is a big shell fully encompassing a star simply wouldn't work and would take way too much energy and resources to build that what we even SEE in the natural world right now. We'd also have to figure out some way to invent artificial gravity, which is pretty damn near impossible, if we're going to walk on the inside of the thing. Our bodies don't like to be weightless and over time, it can cause some SERIOUS health problems.

Building a Ringworld like in Larry Niven's book, "Ringworld" would be more feasable... but that's laced with problems as well, especially stability problems, but at least the thing would have gravity through it's spinning. It would also require only the mass of Jupiter to build, but the material would have to be stronger than ANYTHING we have in nature. As a mater of fact, the material would have to be at least as strong as, or stronger than the strong nuclear force that holds atoms together. That's pretty damn strong.

[krashkart]

Though I won't ever live to see it, I would love to see what we're capable of that far down the road. :D

What I'm interested in is what video games are going to be like 10 years from now. Heck back 10 years ago, I couldn't even imagine that the games would look like they do now, let alone 20 years ago, this stuff was just science fiction/wishful thinking !

Intelligent life is overrated.:88)

Intelligent life could progress into becoming good or regress into becoming evil.

We need to shed our bestial ego and selfishness. To realize that we are in control of our desires and not the other way around that to let our desires to control us.

What every man does even to the most trivial thing comes from their intention or desire that comes surprisingly not from the brain but from the heart the spot right in the middle of the chest though physically speaking there's nothing there. Something that science has yet to learn yet many if not all people(and cultures) instinctively know. So when you turn on your tv tonight or turning it off remember it came from your own heart.

Well Dyson's original idea is quite feasible, it had noting to do with one solid mass around a star but rather a series of satellites or space stations in different patters orbiting a star gathering energy.

The space stations could be any design including ones that incorporate faux gravity from spinning.

There's no real point in walking around on the surface of a Dyson sphere of the single structure persuasion, as the purpose of the thing is to absorb the energy radiating out from the star, not to live on it. Besides, inventing artificial gravity is moot, because such a structure would be massive enough that it will generate it's own gravity (Well, I think, not sure how exactly the gravity of such a thing would work).

EDIT: Ah, wait, the gravity won't work since you'll feel the opposite force from the other side of the sphere.
