I'm still waiting
I've been writing this blog for four and half years. Nearly 1640 entries and counting. I've been following science and technology my whole life. Many new and fascinating discoveries have been duly recorded and many documented here. But what of them? I'm still waiting for them. They've always been in the realm of could be or some day but that day just has not arrived.
Some examples:
--Elon Musk's ventures: Tesla's Model 3, the SolarRoof, the PowerWall, SpaceX's Falcon Heavy, the HyperLoop... still waiting.
--What about the propellant-less reaction drives like the EmDrive and the Cannae Drive that will take us to the stars... still waiting.
--The abolition of fossil fuels and the switch to all renewable sources with no greenhouse gas emission. It seems like with the current administration, we're actually going backwards on this.
--My niece Rebecca's discovery of a potential "paravaccine" against PTSD and depression. Does it work in humans? Still waiting.
--Unruh Radiation and the Unrun Effect. Proven yet? Still waiting.
--The Alcubierre Drive that will let us travel faster than the speed of light without violating relativity... Still waiting.
--Neuralink's magic neural mesh to enhance our brains... Still waiting.
--StoreDot's Insta-charge Battery and Insta-charge case for the iPhone... Still waiting.
--Is there life on Enceladus? Still waiting to find out.
--When are quantum computers going to show up?
--How about Tabby's Star, that strange star called KIC 8462852. Is there really an alien superstructure, a type of Dyson Sphere encasing that star? Still waiting to hear.
--What about fusion reactors: Tokamaks or stellarators? When are they coming?
--How about Cold Fusion? What about those other zero point energy devices that I wrote about: The Hydrosonic Pump, Blacklight Power, etc.? Still waiting...
You know what I am not waiting for? The Wonder Woman movie. I saw it last weekend with my wife and it was fantastic. If you get a chance, you should go see it in the theater, on the big screen. You won't regret it.
