The Science Thread

Okay...Guys, what do you think about mind reading technology or telekinesis?

All that man has now is sensing brain activity, have yo not seen that jedi toy?
I don't under stand how telekinises works though

Here's my idea for a mind reader:

1) When you imagine or think, parts of your brain create electronic waves.
2) The devise goes on your head and uses laser technology to scan brain activity.
3) When the devise finds the wave lengths, it turns the info into small chips of info that are all different.
4) The info chips are decoded to become shapes and shades.
5) You adjust the color and put the machine on rapid repeat to get movie like things.
6) Then you have a rough video of what they think.

The only problem with this is that the brain does not think in the terms of "images". It processes information inside your head based on input from your senses. That information must be translated in order to be understood by the brain (because the brain doesn't detect light, your eyes do. They send messages to your brain that are interpreted.) So if there were some way of understanding the translation that goes on between your brain and your senses, then just maybe mind reading could be possible.

Also, I never understood the concept of "brain waves" I thought signals sent throughout the brain were electrically-based. Are waves a side-effect of these signals? Because it is much harder to interpret electromagnetic waves than mechanical waves.

The brain really dosn't creat anything, It just takes what you seen before an just randomlly jumble those things up to completly random scences. It based of of memory and as Gelo said the senses, not pics or videos.

Ok, I'm starting a Ter's Law entry about this whole Telekinisis buisness. *ahem*

Ter's Law: TELEKINETICS
Telekinetics, within certain technological standards, has a possibility of reality. If we can invent the anti-gravity field, then portabl-ize it, a User could interpret his brain activity via implants or a device to move the Gravity field; thus moving whatever is inside the field as well. However, in our current time, the thought of Telekinetics will most likely be merely a sci-fi dream in which our grandchildren, or our great grandchildren's great grandchildren will have unfold into reality. Telekinetics could revolutionize the act of moving loads and studies of the brain, but the price of such a thing would restrict it from everyday use, or even governmental use to an extent.

Yes this is a new random, stupid thing I'm doing. just with effort

They have stuff similar to this, they already have somthing to read what you are thinking.

Okay then, now my idea for a devise that makes you pass through solid objects:

1) You hold the devise
2) The devise activates
3) Using static gravity waves, the machine pulls your molecular structure slightly apart
4) The molecules would then be able to squeeze through solids.
5) Then your molecules come back together.

And what if the machine fails right before it can put you back together?

It would all be connected by electronic gravity fields...It wouldn't fall.

Nothing is foolproof

Byball is right, Lazer. Nothing is foolproof. Go look up "Murphy's Law" if you have the time.

But if your molecular structure was pulled apart, wouldn't that be bad for you? And as of yet, there is no way to manipulate gravity in such a way.

FOR NOW

Any ideas for going faster than the speed of light?

Going faster than the speed of light? I think we already went over this. It's totally possible, but we just don't have sufficient technology to accomplish it, and we have no clear idea on how to accomplish it, so we just assume it's impossible. That's the problem with most people. If it's never happened and they have no clear evidence to prove that it's possible, they assume it's impossible.

Lazer... you'll believe anything anyone says as long as they tell you they're a scientist won't you?

There is a scientist who made a theory called Warp Drive that when your in a spaceship, a device bends space by making space higher at the back of the ship and makes the space lower at the front of the ship, like surfing... then with immense speed you pass the speed of light.

But until we learn how to create a "device" or "a Spaceship (like the ones at Spore or Star Wars )" we are stuck with the speed of sound. Besides, Einstein proves that to got to the speed of light, we NEED to be light. Which i find, impossible.

No. I come up with most of this on my own and by reports and facts.

Yes, but the reports and facts are from people who claim they are scientists... that doesn't necessarily make them true, now does it?

No. But a lot of things I heard are from people like professors and scientists who I've actually seen do talks or what not.

We're getting off subject....back to SCIENCE!

Very wellz:

Rail guns; do they work?

Yes we even have prototypes.

Did you know we're coming up with an electro-magnetic rail-way system to shoot a rocket into orbit?

yep, its pretty nice tech, but it takes quite a bit of energy to power it.

What about string theory? Do you think it's real?

I don't know about string theory. Since you're talking about it so much and you obviously know all about it, can you enlighten us, Lazer?
