does anyone know the physics forums that this guy is supposed to post on? He's supposedly from the near future and has a blueprint of a working time machine he built, lol. Anyone know?

Is dreaming of the future actually dreaming of the future or perhaps dreaming of what the future that you want?

What type of warfare do you feel is next? We have military units, nuclear, chemical, biological, and electrical.

Just wondering what our offspring will look like in a few thousand years from now. Well they look like this? http://www.mufor.org/photos/grey2.jpg Look at it. It seems like an evolved monkey to me. I mean, the small nose and mouth, the big head, the big eyes, they all seem fit for...

Hi, If you don't already know me, I am Simfishy, and am new to the forum. I am only 14 year old, and an amateur in the field of Science; so I don't know very much about many of the more complex fields. However, I will try to contribute to the forum with what I know, and if I am doing...

I have heard a lot about how holographic technology will progress in the near future, and have looked at how complex the equipment needed is. Will it be possible in the near future to have holographic projecters in the home, for example instead of TVs? How hard would it be to film and show a 3D...

In 100 years or so, I think people will look back at how we live today and fail to comprehend, or be angered by, our seeming reluctance to do anything about world poverty, starvation and disease. Just as we look back at slavery and refuse to condone it, future generations will be angered at...
