Yeah, most countries have restrictions on frequency use already. Could a maser work for this too? Room temperature prototype, is considerably smaller, about the size of a couple soup cans.

This is a good point. Main issue I see with the poles is their temperature/latitudes and possibly treacherous summer conditions as dry ice sublimates. Alternative sources could definitely be useful. Post colonization. Ravines and former ocean bottoms offer some of the best colonization and mining sites. Imagine flood waters coming in lol. Surface conditions would make mining a pain.

The ice(H2O) is with the dry ice(CO2), but there is estimated to be over 21 million cubic kilometers of ice available. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_on_Mars It would be an adventure visiting another world. That could be reason enough. We likely won't terraform it. Be a long term project, possibly destroying existing buildings. I think a mix of tourism and money for research will be big early on. Enogh to get basic trade going and infrastructure built.

Going to be a challenge to obtain, but there's ample ice at the poles and likely existing beneath the surface. Less area than Earth but still plenty large. Some areas could use more research, but we'll probably do fine with about 1/3 gravity.

I think we're thinking of different things I'm just talking about the electrical energy for your pump or equivalent. I know you're not physically swapping one for the other but effectively doing that. That would definitely be along similar lines. We've managed 100 Teslas sustainably and 1200 briefly. Fridge magnets are about 0.01 Teslas for reference. Larger fields are crazy strong but magnetic force does fall off fast. Always been a give and take in terms of engineering though. Everything has some kind of drawback you have to compensate for. Laser up the butt, lol, going to have remember that description. I do agree we'll eventually run up against hard limits but think that point is far far into the future. New advances opening up additional opportunities for new advancements. Automation providing the bulk of all labor and AI informing the designs could allow us to undertake projects that might seem impossible today.

Definitely a way to macgyver it! Fun to imagine you could time travel with knowledge from today. I was thinking fuses too but not sure how that could work. This is a srange line of questions.

Exactly. Can go with hypotheticals but not sure of what all existed that would be reliable and rugged enough for backup.

Maybe power would be a better choice of words. Kind of a silly example but imagine you're using a jet of water instead of a pole to support a tarp. So long as you can maintain your jet it can stand in as a substitute for an aluminium pole. In reality you would want to use this sort of tech on otherwise difficult/impossible projects like providing suport for a space elevator. With some tweaks there are more mundane use cases, all depends if you have the power available.

Still research being done, but generally I would say epigenetics is for medium term information transfer. The ever changing local environment which the parents have found themselves a part of(safe foods, hazardous toxins). You want offspring fresh to the world, to be somewhat, but not overly specialized. Generally you have your basic instincts be encoded and use the brain to learn everything else. Might be useful to start off with memories, but many would also no longer be relevant.

If you had something he had to clinch continuously, that could work. Upon release, a spring would separate the parts of the handle triggering the explosion.

There'll still be axial tilt. Temperatures and weather will be off is the main issue. The Late Winter, Longer Summer effect. More an issue for farming and human health/comfort. Honestly snow would be welcome right now. Seeing high temperatures earlier and earlier in the year here. Parts of the world are getting hit real bad. Plastic in the oceans besides ending up in fish we eat is also changing the marine ecosystem. Organisms that were once restricted in movement now have an expanded niche. Change of this sort is not really a great thing with how our societies are set up.

Sorry, didn't want to hash up the explanation. Easier with animations. He really does explain them better in the video. I'll try... Similar in essence to the Kugel fountain, though fountain of an Atlas Pillar would serve as a support for a structure. Pump and fluid in the Kugel fountain would be swapped for better counterparts as well. Main benefit is that the pillar needs not support its own weight, only the weight of the structure on top. Realistic drawback being that if you take away the power supply it won't support either... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kugel_fountain Air supported structures broadly work along these lines, in terms of needing semi-continuous air pressure supplied. We replace structural strength with the energy needed for the pump, air compressor, rail gun, etc.

Arthur likes to refer to them as Atlas Pillars. Central idea is to use a fountain effect to provide active support for structures.

I saw an interesting video on the idea of substituting a continuous supply of energy for material strength. Could definitely be the way forward.

Here's a paper talking about atypical communication patterns in autistic individuals. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3312270/ If you can aim for a less formal communication style that will help. Using additional contractions, for instance. I would say what you are seeing in other individuals is based upon them looking for additional contextual clues. Rather than only what someone says, where, when and how they say it.

Yep. Might caveat that division is halting deliberately as a result of repair limitations though. Safer for continuing the germline and you as a whole. Memories don't rransfer. There's too much data involved.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_in_humans Generally pretty limited but this might perhaps be changed. It won't preserve the network of neurons that makes up you though. @fredreload Cells do not have an age. Their components wear down or are altered over time. The cell then either needs to be repaired or replaced.

What do you mean by a burn? Your brain can sense the outside world while you're asleep. Pain is closely associated with the sensation of heat.

We were 20 years away, now we're 20 years further along. Don't believe hype but we are making progress. One brain safe chip at a time.

Not the fantasy sort of telepathy, no. Machine Aided. A computer interprets your output and then inputs it in some fashion to another brain or brains. Be incredible for working together if perfected. Teams could access everyone's experience and perceptions.

A computer can interpret your thoughts/intent to a degree now. Primarily done at present for paralyzed individuals to allow them to control a cursor or to type. Robotic limb use(any physical device really) and Machine Aided Telepathy are additional applications possible. There's various issues we still need to work out. We're not good at inputting information for example, though that could lead to the potential problem Sensei mentions. The brain can also leak information, like passwords, even without the user being conscious of the fact. Challenges on the hardware side to interface with the neurons as well. There's around 100 billion, they're squishy and behind a skull. Less invasive techniques means less data output to work with.

You're wanting lossless compression. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression If you look at Limitations you'll find a proof for why some files would end up longer than they were originally.

Probably true lol. Trying to make sure OP is not expecting something crazy out there.

They have basic forms of it now. What all are you interested in using it for?

Is it better to kill more people with conventional weapons or fewer people with nuclear weapons? Unfortunately a country's military capability is entirely dependent on civilian support. You could wipe out the entire military and a country's ability to make war would be barely diminished. That would be less than 1% of our population in the US fo example. As a kid we used to joke about glassing the whole of the Middle East so not exactly surprised by these results. Nuclear weapons have some definite points in their favor no matter what else you might say about them. Now older, I can at least understand the horrible deaths and longterm effects they unleash. I can understand why people might be against using them under any circumstances.
