1. Notice how you can print anything you want, from pizza to drugs to a 3d printed gun, with the new Makerbot...

3D printers bake pizzas:

2. Notice how planes can be flown on solar power alone...

"The Solar Impulse airplane just returned home after completing the world's first solar-powered intercontinental flight!"

3. Notice how it's already possible to own a car that can fly...

A driving plane or a flying car...

4. Notice how you can make a car lighter and stronger than steel...

Ford developed a car made just from hemp (and it was stronger than a regular STEEL car! - Click here to watch video)...

A steel car gets more dented than a hemp car! (much more!)
Link: Hemp Can Be Used To Make Plastic Stronger Than Steel, Paper, Textiles, Oil, Non-Toxic Medicine, Cement... & Tornado Shelters! (It's the miracle crop for our age)

5. Notice how a simple Space Launch Invention  EXISTS:

Being able to go into space shouldn't be something only for "super powers". If the only solutions are invasion to stop existant or non-existant WMD's (Kissinger) then you are better off finding ways to move off planet. You can grow planes, food, probably even learn how to make stuff using the maker bot with Hemp plastic (such as for the car above) as your building material... besides the molecular tech coming along. Air filtering can easilty be done providing the plants don't die. Space life is now within our reach... who can get there first? (whoever does probably needs to document it and spread it on youtube etc. as fast as possible or it may get stolen by an oil company, or NSA or something similar.

Notes:

Einstien's greatest discoveries were in his youth. Age MAY bring wisdom in some but innovation is rarely, if ever, one of those age-related gifts.

Here are some examples of kids making big innovations...

17-Year-Old Girl Creates Nanoparticle That Kills Cancer, Wins $100,000

The $100,000 Zhang earned comes with first prize in the Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology. Her project, “Design of Image-guided, Photo-thermal Controlled Drug Releasing Multifunctional Nanosystem for the Treatment of Cancer Stem Cells,” was apparently as complex, thorough, and revolutionary as it sounds.

The nanoparticle Zhang created is already being referred to as something of a “swiss army knife” in the area of cancer treatment. That’s not to say it’s dull and rusty because I you didn’t take care of it when I was you were out camping, but rather that it has a whole bunch of useful applications. The nanoparticle is delivered to tumors via the drug salinomycin where it kills cancer cells and deposits gold and iron-oxide materials to help with MRI imaging.

Not only is this impressive in its own right, but let me remind you this girl is 17. She’s got a lot of time ahead of her. She spent about 1,000 hours developing this particle since 2009 (when she must have been 15) and she wants to continue to study chemical engineering, biomedial engineering, or physics. She hopes to someday be a research professor. Thank god, because if she said she wanted to be a poet, we might have a problem on our hands

A future method of propulsion?

A team from MIT is working on developing ionic wind thrusters as an energy-efficient, low-emission alternative to conventional propulsion technologies like jet engines. The new thrusters would use ionic energy, which is created when a current passes between two electrodes. If one electrode is thinner than the other, it creates an air current in the space between them – and if a substantial voltage is applied, the device could produce powerful thrust without the need for fuel or motors. Read more: MIT Develops Ionic Wind Thrusters As An Efficient Alternative To Jet Engines | Inhabitat - Sustainable Design Innovation, Eco Architecture, Green Building

Mindwalk: A Talk That Helps To Explain Modern Physics...

A US politician (Sam Waterston) visits his poet friend (John Heard) in Mont. St. Michael, France. While walking through the medieval island discussing their philosophies of life they happen upon Sonja (Liv Ullman), a scientist in recluse, who joins in their conversation. The two men listen to the ideas of this brilliant woman and discuss how her ideas can work in their own politician and poet lives. [ It's on YouTube here and here. The following is from Vimeo.]
