Flight Assembled Architecture

This video has a very Star Trek-ian feel to it. Small flying robots zip around building a pretty cool structure while folks mingle below. Say hello to the future of construction. Just give this technology a few years to mature.

10 Future Technologies That Already Exist

Watch this video about futuristic technologies that are already in the works.

Carbon Nanotubes and Free Energy

Okay, bear with me. This 12 minute video would probably only take 5 minutes if they guy didn't talk so freakin' slow! If what he had to say weren't so damned interesting, I wouldn't bother with it. The materials this guy is dealing with are awesome. Carbon nanotubes can be used to make your windows trap heat or reject heat. They can also generate energy and transmit energy with NO POWER GRID WHATSOEVER!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. Nanotubes have been constructed with length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132,000,000:1, significantly larger than for any other material. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties, which are valuable for nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science and technology. In particular, owing to their extraordinary thermal conductivity and mechanical and electrical properties, carbon nanotubes find applications as additives to various structural materials. For instance, in (primarily carbon fiber) "baseball bats, car parts" and even "golf clubs", where nanotubes form only a tiny portion of the material(s).

Experiments Hint Of Longer Lives

Cynthia Kenyon discusses various experiments that hint of longer lives in humans. Damaging specific genes has been proven to double life expectancy in some organisms. The same idea could be applied to us.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Life extension science, also known as anti-aging medicine, experimental gerontology, and biomedical gerontology, is the study of slowing down or reversing the processes of aging to extend both the maximum and average lifespan. Some researchers in this area, and "life extensionists" or "longevists" (who wish to achieve longer lives for themselves), believe that future breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation with stem cells, molecular repair, and organ replacement (such as with artificial organs or xenotransplantations) will eventually enable humans to have indefinite lifespans through complete rejuvenation to a healthy youthful condition.
