Unhappy What if it ........?

The future is a mysterious structure! We are all outside it speculating what it holds in its different sections!!

Hypography is a great forum where people often speculate that way. I have myself started threads which are on such a track.

Now, can you speculate what it will be like, if any of such speculations were proved to be right!!!!

So, Let's go

Question Re: What if it ........?

Well! I gather that I have not been really successful in communicating my idea behind this thread.

So let me begin with an example?

What if it is proved that organisms do have extra genetic sources of info?

It would be a riot! Imagine Al Qaida bosses, breeding terrorists en masse

Imagine Dictators trying to produce docile citizens that are very loyal!!

The possibilities are endless

Now, can any body guess what it will be like if thoughts couid be transmitted without the help of any device?

Lightbulb Re: What if it ........?

What if it...,
Love really did make the world go around?

What if it..?
God did exist, with Science behind it?

What if it... people of all religions realized that they had more in common, then they had in difference.??

What if it...Science could prove exactly why everything is as it is??

Re: What if it ........?

What if it is proved that science need not be monolithic, several different interpretations are equally acceptable for the same phenomenon?

Re: What if it ........?

What if the world would be under the rule of a dictatorship before 2010?

What if the world does witness a nuclear holocaust? (did I spell that right?)

What if all the life on earth would suddenly be wiped out by some factor that was looming above us for many millenia?

What if all wireless communications would suddenly be brought to an earthly standstill because of the largest solar to hit the earth ever?

Re: What if it ........?

Mankind is incapable of imagining its future. It is the only thing that saves us. Science fiction (sf and sci-fi) exposes defective futures, rendering them impossible. Management exists to create imagined futures, destroying humanity.

The USSR was history's largest exercise in central management. How did that turn out? Homeland Severity is a $100+ billion/year exercise of the Police State. Do you feel safer?

But still, there are instances in the history when scifi predicted future development rather accurately.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
