I’m looking for a blog or extremely amateur YouTube channel that covers future tech every week or so. I like Isaac Arthur but he covers broad ideas and I’m looking for more specific click-baity ideas. The blog doesn’t have to be in English. I can just copy and paste into Google translate. -
What can a scientist in my Star Wars fan fic be working on?
Maximum7 replied to Maximum7's topic in Way Off-Topic
Which would be the hardest for a scientist to do? You can pick more than one but not too many. Yes I know that anything is possible in sci-fi but I’m asking from an in-universe point of view 1.) Synthesis of Graphyne Graphyne - Wikipedia 2. Lithium-silicone battery https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium–silicon_battery 3. Stranglet bombs- They release strange matter, convert normal matter to strange matter and make a huge explosion 4.) Stellification- Make a gas giant into a Star 5.) Gluonic string- Stable string of gluons held together by the strong force. Used to build mega -
What can a scientist in my Star Wars fan fic be working on?
Maximum7 replied to Maximum7's topic in Way Off-Topic
I’m looking for a site or a blog that is futurist/sci fi based and does a “Future Science or Technology of the Week” feature, where they postulate a future science concept or invention and then briefly talk about it. I watch Isaac Arthur every Thursday but I’m looking to supplement it with something less broad. It would be like “Future Technology 1-Jetpack”. Something simple like that. Amateur blogs and sites are extremely welcome. The more obscure the better; but I am looking for highly creative ideas as well. -
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-34118482 I agree with this reactionary luddite, but for completely different reasons: It's simply degenerate and a danger to society as a whole (think Futurama and the 'Don't date that Robot'-inforeel). She however is afraid to lose the only value she has left: the power of sex.

Technology in Eora
PsykoKiwi posted a topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I was just having a discussion with my wife, after having some time to really sink my teeth into Pillars last weekend and this weekend, just how advanced is technology is some places of Eora? We have pistols, blunderbuss's and the arquebus which gives me real vibes of another really good RPG, Arcanum. As well as things like the monocle, which is just cheesy cool! But on topic, do we know how advanced some parts of the world are? Are we talking ships with cannons, steam power? Gliders? Or is the entire place in roughly the late middle ages?- 4 replies

Hey, quick question: I just bought a brand new Corsair PSU. The fan refuses to work and I cannot find anything online on how to set it manually. Or set it to normal, etc. Anyone else have a Corsair HX series?

Obviously what triggers this reflection are the guns and gunpowder. It's the fact that you can apparently use some of those laws of physics that are usually ignored in Medieval or most ancient times fantasy. They mainly introduced guns to further distinguish themselves from traditional fantasy settings (guns are only one part of the larger effort of course). Before we start : I am aware we are still centuries away from Modern technology. I know the guns are still primitive and their use very specific. Now this potentially opens the way for further technological improvement, and mayb -
In the r/w, civilizations have ravaged nature since the Bronze Age. With some of PE's inhabitants being at the level of Stone Age cultures, and others much more advanced, how will the environment be affected by the sentient species? Should there even be much of a "Dyrwood" left, considering the busy smithies and bustling fleets of Aedyr and Vailians? Will the approach to nature be a matter of contention among the different races? With two nature-dwelling classes, the druid and the ranger, will we get caught up in a struggle to preserve the landscape? -
The first printing press, courtesy of Johan Gutenburg, appeared in 1450. This invention is right up there with penicillin, the Internet, the machine gun and all sorts of other, radical world-changing technologies and discoveries. The printed word allowed ideas to percolate up and down the social strata of societies in a way we might struggle to understand, or take for granted, right now. In fact, the written word was a vehicle of the Reformation, and later Fascism and Communism. Like the Internet, it was a force for both positive and the negative. It accelerated education. It w
