Now when will they fix that ageing problem. Can't wait for the real fun to start.


Doesn't matter for you actually. Your average joe blow will never be able to afford the treatments required for life extension within the next 100 years. If you're a multi millionaire, then maybe they might get something together in time to extend you a bit. Maybe. It's pretty complex what's required.

Focusing on meaningless details will usually end in ... WTF, How did that happened ... when things take a unexpected turn.

As far as solar power/renewable energy is concerned and their cost,
If push comes to shove we will find the means to make these things work out. There are a lot of jobs tied into the automotive industry and fossil fuels are what are keeping millions of people in work. I doubt that we will see any change in affordability or practicality of renewable resources until we absolutely have no other choice. I still way we're just going to end up blowing ourselves up in the end. No 2012 end of the world, just us.

I vision very very very bad things in 30 years.
Well let me start off talking about our non-renewable fossil fuels...
Face it were running low in 30 years we will be even lower... Well this was posted on another forum and the first response i got was "Well we could all ride our bikes"
True true but think about what other things/industries uses oil/gas? Well what about FedX or UPS (if your not familiar they are shipping companies UPS = United Postal Service). Whats gonna happen there? And other industries! Construction, public transportation... Now my other response was "there is already electric cars...". Well true but he probably has no idea how rare and how much those things cost... And still lol... Its using fossil fuels for the electricity... (not oil but still). So the price is gonna go UP approachipng that time. Then the main oil producers over there in the middle east, they wont sell this stuff they will keep the rest for themselves (or it runs out) but that obviously how dependant and greedy us Humans are there will be some sort of conflict over there... WWIII or whatever who knows. And the United States will be communist by then anyways...

Next I discuss solar flares, yes we all know thet hit all the time! BUT there is a major impact predicted around 2012 or 2013. And no that is not a random prediction. Every 11 years the suns magnetic field flips poles and releases tons of radiation (solar flares) Now it hasnt been bad recently because well a BIG BIG on only hits about every 100-200 years. The last "BAD BAD" one was back in 1859. Now you ask "Were still here! Notying happened!". Well yes because solar flares wont kill us just MASS destruction in some cases. In 1859 all telegraph wires were pretty much wiped out. Now if the same tying happened today, all of out satallites would be wiped out we would have trillions in property damage, electrimcity would be wiped out, no refriferation, technology useles...
It could set us back 100 years! Also we could get cancer from any radiation(not from sun) These flares could wipe out nuclear power plants, that would send radiation all over!!(i live near one as well :/)

My other prediction is a pretty bad epidemic of the sorts. Now this I havent thought much about yet. Well every 30-40 years theres an epidemic. Obviously we have survived all of em but im thinking this one could be very bad... Because im thinking a brain virus, almost making us zombie like. Ive read lots of books on this subject recently and have been thinking, this could really really actually happen!
Thanks for reading please tell me what you think.

Its hard to believe people this stupid exist.

Anyone who buys into the whole "humans are using up all the fossil fuels" bullshit is a really gullible person who should probably stop watching so much TV.

Fact is that we are finding even MORE huge oil caches nowadays than ever before in history. Just found the largest one ever found not too long ago in Uganda. Reasoning behind the phony Kony 2012 media campaign, anyone?

Apparently there is solid proof of the Higgs boson now. Who knows what kind of energy based research it might help sponsor now that physics is getting bit more attention after finding such a groundbreaking particle.

There have been allot of research into fusion plants. Issue is noons focusing on sponsoring or even want these types of reactors to become possible. Other energy based physics are in nanite teck or solar research. When we start to run out of one type of fuel necessity will drive scientists into finding a new type of energy that the same equipment we are using can run on. Saying we are solly dependent on fossil fuel is just shortsighted ways of thinking. Just the biggest issue with fossilized fuel use is the global climate changes it causes. But try telling 5 billion people that they should take the buss to work and you will have solved the green house effect problem on the spot.

And yes I agree we will be our own end and not some biblical bullshit with arks and floods and comets.
