/sci/ - Science & Math

I think that this kid of thing will only take off if we have another free energy revolution. If we crack fusion or thorium, or find a way to get masses of solar panels into space cheaply, then getting hold of the energy to fuel a hydroponic farm or heat a building like the one in OP's image with about 10 times the surface area to hemorrhage heat through than your standard box will be easy. Things like this would start popping up all over the developed world.

Im pretty sure this is what op meant

in hurr durr year we will have this hurr durr. pic related

>go to /sci/

>go to /b/
>nope, /sci/ ponies

quick question /sci/

are there any sites that offer free physics equations or brain teasers.

I just feel like doing some physics work and i don't have any textbooks.

It's been a while, /sci/, since i've seen a thread discussing the board as a city.

what would we do that would set us apart from /int/ or /fit/ or /v/ or /b/, or any of the other board cities?

i propose a eugenics system as well as an oberman mandatory sleep schedule.

I'm actually more up for the Croft (Wikipedia it) system in my WIP.

Basically, when every village can create it's own space program, centralized nations fragment to anarchist-style village-kind-of-things: Most of the time cities are conserved, with several crofts coexisting with each other.

Other times, like in the Ring of Fire, a set of self-replicating ocean colonies created when Mad Scientist-in-the-story took hold of an assembler, it's a single group making facilities for people to inhabit, like a real state company. Only that they leave certain things to maintain some degree of control (controling the automation of vehicles). Since it's a nanotech-based society, there is very little physical privacy outside of basic human politesse, so people turn to Internet for such things. There still is quite a bit of progress, most blueprints for the assemblers are made by the open source folk, capitalism did not end in any sort of "glorious post-scarcity apotheosis", and the Open Space Movement, led by a telomere-rebuilt Jason Marsh, owns Star City (A Lagrange-5 point orbital), Earthport Tower (A 2.5 km tall diamondoid/fullerene/aerogel tower that shoots rockets out of a ram-accelerator) and most orbitals. et cetera

The luddites are called barbarians, and are basically the people who are not affiliated to any croft listed in the Compact. Some of them camp in the overpasses of highways untouched for decades, others build small villages, etc.: But no matter how luddite they may be, they all have molecular assemblers and computers. They are too important technologies to leave behind.

Wasn't that what I was advocating? See:

Probably a number of megastructures; Huge great particle accelerators, giant underground fusion reactors, space elevators, launch loops and the like. Some would work, while other would be failed attempts. A large number of labs in space, on the ocean floor and deep underground.

OP here, I have been working out 3-4 times a week and eating cereals that seem to be pretty fibre packed, so that's probably it. Cheers.

Man, if I'd known that working out was gonna get me clean shits I would have done it way sooner! Picture awesome but unrelated.

Mugs, you giving up far too easily.

You're just putting the pussy on a pedestal, man.

The Singularity does not concern human desire, it is simply the point in which computers become advanced enough to improve themselves, leading to an exponential growth of processing power. These super-intelligences will allow us to do amazing things, such as develop the technologies described in OP's post.

I for one would fucking LOVE to see it get an artificial planetary magnetic field, moved closer to the sun and made into a terraformed water world with a few atolls and islands. Can you imagine how fun it'd be to swim on a low gravity 1000km diameter world like that?

GUYS

LETS ADD OUR FAILED TECHNOCRACY TO THE SETTING

Let's start a Technocracy.

You will never see a city like this ;_;

Because it could be far, far better.

You will never live in a city like this. ;_;
