Science Fiction VS Science Reality

Interesting! Never heard of that experiment before. Might would give it a try - maybe I can find some more info on it online? I like learning about simple but cool tricks. There is a saying about that when technology is so advanced that to someone who has not seen the technology and has no understanding of it, it appears as magic to them. You are very right, about science fiction becoming reality. Everyday scientists are learning things that down right blow our minds away.

I think it was on the Fox Channel, but not so sure since at the time, I was busy surfing the channels and then when I saw the experiment, I stopped when I saw it. I tried to find it on the net. I did find how to do it http://gr5.org/index_of_refraction/ The other ones were for magicians, but this student hid a bottle and another glass container in an aquarium with oil in it. It was just done recently so it might not have gotten to Youtube etc.

Wow that is very interesting! The news these days are full of seemingly to-good-to-be-true stories, and yet the bar keeps going higher and higher! Soon it will be as if we all live in the Jetsons cartoon! (I can't wait!) - Thanks for responding!

Yes Kaku is my favorite amongst all of the science writers that I read! "Physics of the Impossible" is definitely worth reading and is my favorite of his books. Lately he has been talking about how one day technology will allow us to download our consciousness into robotic brains which could essentially allow us to become immortal. He also discusses this subject in "Physics of the Impossible" and describes how, since it would be a robot brain, would allow an increased speed of thought (processing speed) which would alter the way in which we perceive time. Basically, the faster that we can think = a slowing down of time. We would be able to think a lot faster, so a minute might feel like an hour or a even a day! That would mean that not only would we be able to "live" very long (or infinitely) lives due to the robotic hardware's durability, but also seem to us even longer. I find this subject most interesting in that we would be able to advance as a civilization very quickly once the first transplant is made. Furthermore, I don't think everybody would choose to stay a robot forever, but would rather go back and forth if it were possible. One could download into a robot, traverse space to go to other worlds, and then once there, be reconstituted again as a biological unit. All this would, no doubt, take place after much debate amongst the world's leaders with some probably saying it would be immoral to do so. But in the end, I think the technology side will win the debate.
