The Worlds Fair in Shanghi China

Scroll down and see all the pavilions.
It's amazing how much they put into all this.

Virus Trained to Seek and Destroy Cancer

Now this would be a quantum leap.
I wonder about the side affects tho.
I worry about those "suicide” genes.

Noahs Ark

Ok, this would have been a more valid historical
find if it had been found by somebody else.

A Million Year Old Alien Technology

Article by: THE DAILY GALAXY
Arthur C Clarke made the famous observation that any sufficiently advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic. Following in his footsteps, world renowned experts from physicist Sir Martin Rees of Cambridge University to Astrobiologist Paul Davis of Arizona State have asked if we were to encounter alien technology far superior to our own, would we even realize what it was. A technology a million or more years in advance of ours could well appear miraculous.
In fact, Davies writes in his new book, Eerie Silence, that advanced technology might not even be made of matter. That it might have no fixed size or shape; have no well-defined boundaries. Is dynamical on all scales of space and time. Or, conversely, does not appear to do anything at all that we can discern. Does not consist of discrete, separate things; but rather it is a system, or a subtle higher-level correlation of things.
Are matter and information, Davies asks, all there is. Five hundred years ago, he writes, “the very concept of a device manipulating information, or software, would have been incomprehensible. Might there be a still higher level, as yet outside all human experience, that organizes electrons? If so, this "third level” would never me manifest through observations made at the informational level, still less at the matter level.
We should be open to the distinct possibility that advanced alien technology a billion years old may operate at the third, or perhaps even a fourth or fifth level.

The Billion Year Technology Gap

If you were a lizard looking at a human, would you know
what you were looking at?
A fly that lands on a fried chicken wing doesn't know
what a chicken is.
A flea sitting on a cows ass when a car goes by at
70 miles per hour thinks the cows ass is it's whole
world. The car going buy was an unknown blur.
Like the wind.
There are so many things we look at and don't see.

Hawking Says Aliens Will Probably Want To Conquer Us

He's probably right. I just wonder what information
he correlated and extrapolated to come to that conclusion.
There may be ET's out there. Some people think they are already
amungst us. Studying us, changing our culture, our societies,
enhancing our technologies and pushing us toward a singularity.
As Ray Kurzweil indicates.
Our AI technologies are swiftly connecting a lot of
possibilities now.
Everything seems faster.

Living With Eyjafjallajokull

Fantastic pictures of the Iceland volcano.

Milky Way's Center Yield Clues

I love this kind of science.

Solar Dynamics Observatory

Great video and pictures of our sun.

Fungus Among Us

There will probably be more of this sort of thing
as the temp gets warmer.

Choose Oil or Rare Minerals

While we are so concerned about where we get oil
and worry about those that hate us.
China is quietly making sure that all our high tech
purchases are made of minerals that can be found
mostly in China.
There's only one company in the USA that even mines
these rare minerals.

Sheep on Meth ? Where's PETA

I don't think I have enough crumbs to find my way back home.......

137 Years of Robotic Fascination

In the next 25 years they will be smarter than us.

Behind the Air Force's Secret Robotic Space Plane

I think it's strange that our one government can't seem to
cross these vehicles into different agencies. Airforce to NASA.
Same vehicle. Different missions. Save money. What a consept.

Gene Traits

I like the direction this is going in.
I like the idea of genetic improvements.
After all we are spiritual beings in
Earthbound bodies. We might as well have
the best bodies possible. We would live
longer and experience life on a more
consistent level of awareness.

Dr. Cargill Endorses Genetic Transplant

This guy proves there is a shift in religious ideas.

Health Insurers Cooking Their Books

Any way you look at it, the insurance industry is gonna screw us.

Conscious Robots

This is going to get really interesting.

Geminoid F Bot

Well, all I can say is we know where this is gonna go.
Talk about changing society.
Talk about paradym shift.
Talk about Stepford wives.
Talk about relationships.
Talk about the gaming industry.
Talk about the IT industry.
Talk about the service industry.
Talk about obsolete porn industry.
Talk about obsolete hookers.
Talk about obsolete slaves.
Talk about downloading your soul into one of these.
