If you could conduct a daring science experiment,what would it be on?
- Thread starter Sammo
- Start date
If I would do an experiment it would involve a deathray satelite swarm in orbit combined with a lie/bullshit detector, the target group would be politicians, bankers and other scum..Oh the carnage..
I like this idea, where's Tesla when you need him? Didn't he theorize a death ray?
Trouble is that we all lie and bullshit some of the time. Where should the trigger level be set?
This is step 1 for one of mine. Step 2 would be to take a decent sized sample group of babies and keep going back and putting them in different places, and then coming back to the present and recording a wide array of metrics on how they turned out. Unethical as hell, yes, but it's really the ONLY way I can see to finally really answer the nature/nurture question entirely.
The other one I actually can't discuss, because I believe it is feasible, and it has the potential to destroy the Earth. Not "all life on Earth". The whole Earth. My worry is that someone will probably think of it at some point independently, because I'm not so unique that that can't happen - in fact, it seems like many inventions are thought of by more than one person simultaneously in different places. But the day it is built and tested, we're all going to have a really bad time. Briefly.
Time Travel into the future is where I would want to go. The past has been done. Altering history is a recipe for very bad juju.. So visiting the future would be the best thing, to see where things have headed, and if we have survived as a species.
How big is big?
If you somethng truly big why not go the whole hog and say let's build a real starship..... Or at least something big enough to visit the outer planets. Saturn could have life.
I would find a way to spike water and give all Caucasians Melaninistis, turning them into African origin humans and sit back and enjoy the results and listen to the loud pitched screams.
Might be possible using CRISPR-cas9 therapy to edit the genome. Would need to be injected though. I wouldn't mind as my partial Irish heritage means I burn really easily and need to avoid prolonged exposure to UV without protection.
I travel into the future all the time - at a subjective rate of about one year per year.
Before you do that you have to have the HLLV to lift bits of it.
A few of these--and you can have a hull for a starship/rotating space-station

I really don't know why we don't build a deep space exploration vessel for traveling to the outer planets inside the solar system.
I'd prefer to alter all of humanity to make us all a pleasant green with racially ambiguous features. Then sit back and listen to the screams from ALL of the racists everywhere.
Given my "interests", you would think I would suggest genetically "uplifting" catgirls. But I'll admit that delves into the realm of "dubious" morality. So instead, I'd settle for the continued advancement of robotics so that we can develop android (maybe a more accurate term would be "gynoid") catgirls. Okay, okay, we'll construct robotic catboys as well for those who prefer them.
