Quotes About Innovation

It is impossible to imagine the height to which may be carried, in a thousand years, the power of man over matter. We may perhaps learn to deprive large masses of their gravity, and give them absolute levity, for the sake of easy transport. Agriculture may diminish its labor and double its produce; all diseases may by sure means be prevented or cured, not excepting even that of old age, and our lives lengthened at pleasure even beyond the antediluvian standard.

Scientists can now instantly determine how certain parts of the brain are hooked up with other parts.

Every year, new uses for deep brain stimulation are being found. In fact, nearly all the major disorders of the brain are being reexamined in light of this and other new brain-scanning technologies. This promises to be an exciting new area for diagnosing and even treating illnesses.

el hito siguiente en la historia de la IA: aplicar una ingeniería inversa al cerebro humano.

la ley de Moore, que afirma que la potencia de computación se duplica cada dieciocho meses.

By mentally activating the power source, you can grab lightsabers from across the room with today's technology.

starships of the future may have to spin, creating an artificial gravity via centrifugal forces in order to sustain human life.

el vacío tiene energía, como sospechaba Tesla. Pero la cantidad de energía es probablemente demasiado pequeña para ser utilizada como una fuente de energía útil.

will we no longer be the most intelligent being on earth

In 2017, the Pentagon announced a $65 million grant to develop a tiny, advanced chip that can analyze a million human neurons as the brain communicates with a computer and forms memories.

are skilled in the techniques necessary to neutralize any rogue robot.

El futuro es un tren de mercancías En resumen, somos nosotros quienes hemos de crear el futuro. No hay nada escrito en una piedra. Como Shakespeare escribió en Julio César: «El fallo, querido Bruto, no está en las estrellas, sino en nosotros mismos…». O como dijo una vez Henry Ford, de una forma quizá menos elocuente: «La historia es más o menos una tontería.7 Es tradición. Pero no queremos la tradición. Queremos

Algún día, los científicos podrían construir una «internet de la mente», o brain-net, en la que los pensamientos y las emociones se enviarían electrónicamente de un lugar a otro del mundo

Si una idea no parece absurda de entrada, pocas esperanzas hay para ella. ALBERT EINSTEIN

sin ciencia no hay ciencia ficción.

The 3-D printers of the future might be able to re-create the delicate tissues that constitute functioning organs or the machine parts necessary to make a self-replicating robot.

Goddard murió en 1945 y no vivió lo suficiente para ver la disculpa escrita por la dirección del The New York Times después de que el Apolo llegara a la Luna en 1969: «Ha quedado definitivamente demostrado —escribieron— que un cohete puede operar en el vacío y no solo en una atmósfera. El Times lamenta el error».

we will look ahead to a time when we will be able to move beyond the solar system and explore the nearby stars. Again, this mission surpasses our current technology, but fifth wave technologies will make it possible: nanoships, laser sails, ramjet fusion machines, antimatter engines.

To do this, we will have to exploit the fourth wave of science, which consists of artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and biotechnology.

Titan could become an important gas station in space.

A Dyson sphere is a gigantic sphere around a star, designed to harvest the energy from its massive amounts of starlight.

It is easy to calculate how much sunlight falls on a square foot of land on Earth. Multiplying this by the surface area of the Earth illuminated by the sun and one immediately calculates the approximate energy of an average Type I civilization. (We find that a Type I civilization harnesses the power of 7 x 1017 watts

The next big particle accelerator currently in the planning stage is the International Linear Collider (ILC), consisting of a straight tube approximately thirty miles long in which beams of electrons and anti-electrons will collide.
