Is Teleportation the Next Frontier in Future Science?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around future scientific advancements, particularly in areas like teleportation and screenless TVs. Participants express skepticism about the immediacy of such technologies, with one noting that while teleportation is unlikely soon, advancements in understanding the human mind may lead to significant developments. Self-navigating vehicles are highlighted as a potential near-future technology, although concerns about cost and practicality are raised. The conversation reflects on the rapid pace of technological growth, suggesting that past limitations may not predict future possibilities.

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what we can expect in the near future from a science perspective? I know it is not possible to travel faster than light but is teleportation possible? TVs without screen?

Not in the near near future but soon I hope as we are learning the manipulation of the human mind.

This november in Eetimes has appeared an article about Self-Navigating vehicles, cars that transport you wherever you want while you do a nap. Or whatever other thing you want

Actually self-navigating vehicles would require no new technology, though they would be prohibitively expensive, chauffeurs are much cheaper.

I'd be careful saying that. Human technology grows quite fast. Many years ago, people would never had thought that there could be an internet. It's all to see I guess =)

Many years ago was not the near near past.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
