Mind telling us what that all entails?

I thought Transhumanism was already a household name among scientists. Well, transhumanism is basically the ultimate scientific/technological/philosophical movement that incorporates every field of science, technology, and philosophy. The goal is basically futuristic advancement: time travel, artificial intelligence, brain/body augmentation, understanding the universe, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, cloning, mind uploading, cryonics, cyborg technology, interstellar travel, space colonization, etc. Here is the World Transhumanist Association website: http://www.transhumanism.org/ They have an FAQ: http://www.transhumanism.org/resources/faq.html

And here are some other Transhuman sites, the better ones are listed on the top:

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
