Okay, maybe there were a few safety issues. But those would have been almost negligible, considering the fun everyone would have while trying to decipher what our secret ingredients were! Also hospitals exist for a reason.
Mindhunters is a brilliant show. It's basically a step-up from the Saw series. A team if FBI profiling students take undergo a simulation on an island, where they are supposed to make a profile of a serial killer. Expectedly, things go wrong when they find that people in their team are actually dying. A bunch of stuff happens, involving really awesome traps. The killer studies a person's weak points, setting traps which basically kill them based on their habits. It was complete brilliance. Everyone who hasn't watched it yet, go rent it.
I looked it up. I don't recognise any names, in the cast or in the production team. I know I've heard of this film before, but I guess I never bothered at that point of time.
Yes. Today was awesome. I couldn't go into detail about it because that just wouldn't be possible. I mean, some things just can't be put down in ink. Or pixels, for that matter. Although I suppose pictures could suffice...
Anyway, we have to meet again sometime. I mean, if not, how am I going to be able to piece together a plan to permanently darken the skies? Or maybe something that can darken the sky selectively... I think I'm getting an idea here.
Say, in the near(or not) future, Man may be producing tiny machines, capable of flight via the viscosity of the air itself. That is, climbing on air molecules. I'm of course talking about nanotechnology, and it's not a new concept, either. The Matrix did it. I think. Anyway, that might as well have been pollution, since I never see the sky lightening in that movie.
Basically, it's not that hard to imagine that we could release a large number of nanomachines into the atmosphere, which stay there via their own mechanisms, avoiding being swept off into space. From the ground, via remote control, we can make the nanomachines cluster together or space themselves apart, allowing different amounts of light through to the earth. Perhaps, when the particles are blocking off the sunlight, they can help to produce energy. Of course, this would need a very, very high-tech solar cell, and also a means for the nanoparticles to travel down to a kind of docking station, where they release the energy which they have converted and stored, for usage on the ground.
Alternatively, we could build a Dyson Sphere. One around the sun to collect energy for us, and one around the earth, with photo cells covering the interior of the sphere. To simulate the light which we get from the sun. In this way, we essentially have limitless energy, and we can control day and night as we wish.
Then we could charge people for their control over light intensity in the areas which they live in. So basically, for a small fee, people could control the weather around their house.
However, this might pose a small problem to the environment. Although if we have the technology to build a Dyson Sphere, we probably have the technology to keep the ecosystem stable. I mean, we'd have an artificial water cycle that would benefit everyone(as much as possible, anyway). Basically, we could possibly stop all atmospheric and hydrospheric disasters. Unless of course, we've stopped caring about the poor little animals by then.
Ah, well, I doubt I'll get to see this ever happening in my lifetime. Even at this current rate of technological advancement, we're still a long way to go from building a Dyson Sphere.
Anyway... Random picture.
So be careful when you open your closet.
