Japanese maglev levitating train travels over 311 mph during first
passenger ride:

"Japan has been known for their high-speed trains for decades, and it just allowed
the public on a very fast levitating train called a maglev on Saturday.

There were 100 Japanese passengers, and the route went for 27 miles, the BBC
reports. The Central Japan Railway Company will test the maglev Shinkasen train for
eight days in the Yamanashi Prefecture. Typical bullet trains go around 200 mph in
Japan, so the maglev will be a much faster ride."

Wow, thats pretty awesome. Pity we'd never see anything like that in Australia where a highspeed levitating train would be immensely useful.

Give it a few more years, and we can finally have holoscreens!

Doesn't that put a different spin on the term "touchscreen"?

The Next Gold Rush:

"While most space headlines have focused on Tourism or the major probes to the
planets, a potentially significant issue was making its way unnoticed underneath
the fold. Wall Street OTC says reports on the formation of three asteroid mining
organizations: “The Asteroid Mining Company” (aka Planetary Resources), Deep
Space Industries (DSI), and NASA.”

In fact, the ill-fated Ares spacecraft which blew up at Wallops Island carried the
Arkyd 3, “a space-testing platform dedicated to test Planetary Resources’
telescope systems for further space exploration.” It was in short, a prospecting
device. “Planetary Resources plans to rebuild and re-launch Arkyd 3 in 9 months
time.”

Future historians may remember the early 21st century not for Obamacare or
Amnesty, or even the War on Terror as much as for the first beginnings of a new
era in economics. There’s a long way to go yet, but the development of outer
space is no longer a fantasy. It is promising enough to attract real money.

As in all mining activities, the validity of claims will be a key issue. Claim jumping,
mineral rights, and all the rest are all bound to the question of who can own
property in outer space. That must be resolved. “A bill that would grant property
rights and other protections for commercial asteroid mining ventures received a
mixed reception at a hearing of the U.S. House Science space subcommittee Sept.
10.”"

"It’s not attracting much attention yet, but it may before too many more years. The
stakes are potentially sky high. Whereas space activity in the mid-20th century
focused around Cold War rivalries the new Space Race is fueled by the technological
possibilities that has made the Solar System the new frontier. Twentieth century
space was about spending billions but twenty first century space will be about
making quadrillions.

As the Wall Street OTC article suggests, the new companies are in a phase of money
raising, prospecting and technology development whose ultimate payoff are mineral
resources on an absolutely colossal scale. Billionaire entrepreneurs and even
celebrities like James Cameron are tentatively nosing into the ring."

The Black Hole Tango:

"Something fascinating is going on in the gravitational dance of galaxies, from
watching the slow twirls of the dancers.

Galaxies in the Universe are not spread out randomly; instead, they form a vast
web, forming clusters with long filaments connecting them, and deep voids in
between. That structure seems to affect the galaxies within it, too—at least some
rotate with their axes aligned with the filaments they inhabit, like beads on a
string.

Now, a new observation seems to show that black holes also behave according
to their place in the cosmic web. In at least some cases, the disk of matter
spinning around a black hole seems to be aligned with cosmic structure, based on
these measurements. That means that two galaxies separated by billions of
light-years could have black hole disks spinning in the same direction, even
though they never were in the same place and couldn’t influence each other. The
sample is pretty small—only 19 black holes showed this alignment—but the
agreement with earlier galaxy results shows something interesting may be going
on."

NASA's New Horizons Spacecraft Awakens To Begin Pluto Mission:

"After nine years and a journey of nearly 3-billion miles (4.8 billion km), NASA's
Pluto-bound New Horizons robotic probe has awoken from its hibernation in
preparation for a unprecedented flyby of Pluto and other celestial bodies in the
Kuiper Belt."

Pluto Base? Only Gamilas scum conspiracy theorists believe in that.

Time to unearth evidence of that Mass Relay on Charon though!

Any expert here to let us know if this kind of thing really existed? Watching anime while swimming or bathing is like a dream come true. 0_0

Se7enSword · 2015-01-02, 11:03

I'm no expert, but it can be actualized. It can definitely happen.

It'll take time and lots of money though, which they've stated as well.

Can we hack the drone and reverse the connection.

I'm sure the NSA is working on it.

On a slightly more serious note, if tech like this becomes a reality:

The hacking/spamming potential would be rather ominous.
