Oh Victor ? um paging Herr Dr. Victor Frankenstein ?? we's got some "people" who'd like 2 ask you ...how's the "experiment" work~in fer ya ??? huh lol ... hows that going hehe
March 17, 2014 – Anti-aging guru Aubrey de Grey’s prediction that the first person to live 1,000-years has already been born got me thinking.
What might life be like in this long-range future? Will boredom set in
as we count the centuries; or will what promises to be an incredible
technology-rich life keep the excitement alive?
Of course, no one can predict with certainty how events will unfold over a millennium, but if we consider expected technology advances; and then blend in a few positive possibilities, an amazing future appears.
Over the next two decades, stem cells, genetic engineering, and 3-D bioprinting promise to cure or make manageable most diseases.Nanomedicine author Robert Freitas and futurist Ray Kurzweil discuss how future nanotechnology and other science areas promise an incredible world for humans to enjoy.
This future is not surprising considering the current speed of healthcare innovations. It seems just about every week, we hear researchers make fresh discoveries, or begin clinical trials for a new therapy; and as we trek through the decades ahead, breakthroughs will occur at even faster rates than today.
Although technologies will eliminate disease and aging, they cannot protect us from accidents and violence. To eliminate all unwanted deaths, forward-thinkers believe we need to first replace much of our biology with non-biological ‘immortal’ tissues; and then develop an innovative brain-transfer system.
This brings us to 3 research efforts. The Blue Brain Project, where scientists seek to simulate the brain in a machine by reverse-engineering the human brain; the U.S. government’s Brain Activity Map, where researchers strive to demystify how neurons direct thoughts and physical actions; and Intel’s Human Brain Project where scientists hope to one day transmit thoughts direct from brain to machine.
Positive futurists believe that these projects will eventually lead to allowing a mind, with its consciousness and memories; everything that describes one’s humanness, to be transferred to a new body should disaster strike the old one. This would completely eliminate all unwanted deaths.
How might humanity advance after being freed from the Grim Reaper’s grasp? Astronomer Nikolai Kardashev devised the following ratings and capabilities for future civilizations based on energy use.
Type I. captures all of the solar energy that strikes their planet. This will increase today’s Earth energy supply by 100 billion. Advances in nanotechnology and development of warp-drive propulsion expected at this time will trigger a rush to space and promote unheard of cooperation between nations creating a peaceful global society more intent on exploring space than quarreling over cultural conflicts.
Type II. Exponentially-advancing technologies could help Earth reach this level in the next two hundred years. Surrounding the Sun with a Dyson Sphere, Type II’s mine all of the energy in their solar system increasing power 100 billion-fold again. This civilization builds colonies throughout their neighborhood, as well as planets orbiting nearby stars. This video describes the immenseness of their turf.
Type III. Energy supply increases another 100-billion-fold. In his book, Parallel Worlds, Michio Kaku says Type III’s derive power from multiple stars and have learned to control unstable time and space.
They traverse wormholes to reach vast distances in space instantly; and
after resolving paradox issues where time traveler’s actions cause
changes in the present, they can launch backward time travel trips
without fears of disruption. Type III’s are a dominant galactic force,
eager to populate the cosmos.
So, where is today’s Earth in this rating system? Physicists place us at Type 0.7, but with technology advances, forward thinkers predict we could reach Type I by 2100, Type II by 2200 and Type III by 3000.
Looking into this distant future, humans will enjoy Star Trek Holodeck-like virtual reality entertainment escapades, and changing physical appearance using only thought-command. Imagine, wishing for a radically different look. You could experience life as a member of the opposite sex; or maybe add wings so you could fly like a bird; or surround yourself with an invisibility cloak. The possibilities are endless.
Will the future occur in this timeline? Although it took 2-million years for us to abandon the forest and build a society, it may take only a few decades to leave our planet and begin this breathtaking adventure.

um oh yea! that's right "his" MONSTER IS still chas~in his ass ...all over the N Pole ! well doc ..ya got 'bout 800 yrs +/- 2 go ???? folks these kooks near ,fucking EVER ...factor in ...EVIL fucking never :o ..just "think" what ole adolf ...could~a fucking would~a ...done wit OH about 1,000 yrs hummmmmmmmmmm
