Science Fact or Fiction? The Plausibility of 10 Sci-Fi Concepts

[Kashmiri Pandit]

Why not, you can live inside a simulation, and have the perfect life you've always wanted.

I have seen the same concept in Anime .
But what will happen with the real body , Or we might be dead in real world ?

I read some science articles that were talking about Universe being a Simulation thus being an illusion of Human senses .

Something like that in the movie "Surrogates",is it even possible in the near future!!

How'd you know if you're already in a simulation or not?

You mean to say that right now the person writing this post can be my robotic clone which i am relaxing in my simulation!!Man,this sounds really weird even for a sci-fi freak like me

We can simulate the life or simpler organism in an advanced computer, now imagine a civilization millions of years old, simulating the life of an inferior organism to understand the concept of early technological civilization. And If someday, we get advanced enough to simulate a human life with the advent of quantum computing.

So that would be, simulation within a simulation. Now wrap that up in your head.

Planet-busting superweapons

In science fiction, planet-busting superweapons are all the rage. Yet even more terrifying is the wherewithal to take out an entire star.

The dastardly deed is theoretically possible, however, and even on time scales not stretching into millions of years. "There's one scheme to me that seems not quite plausible, but it's close," said Mike Zarnstorff, an experimental plasma physicist and deputy director for research at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.

A black hole launched into the sun would "feed and grow exponentially," Zarnstorff told Life's Little Mysteries, and therefore would "self-propel" a star towards its doom. "A black hole could suck in all the mass of the sun," Zarnstorff said.

one way to destroy earth would be to go to the asteroid belt, select three 1-kilometer-dimension metallic asteroids, put on rocket engines on them and propel them towards earth, of course having put self-defense mechanisms on them.

Sentient planets

To an extent, Earth is a living planet, as biological beings do indeed swim, crawl and fly through our world's uppermost layers of ocean, land and sky. But all that is still a far cry from the literally living, conscious planets that make appearances in many sci-fi and fantasy stories. Take the living planet Mogo in "Green Lantern," which can change its climate and grow foliage in desired patterns on its surface at will.

Or consider the moon Pandora from the 2009 film "Avatar," where flora and fauna have evolved tentaclelike organs that enable them to neurally interlink with each other. A globe-spanning consciousness exists, with Pandora's trillion interconnected trees acting like cells in a colossal brain, dwarfing our mind's 100 billion neurons.

In reality, the development of a planet-scale "being" looks to be an extreme long shot. Based on the chemistries and behaviors of life and nonlife, don't bet on Mogo or Pandora, scientists say. "The way evolution works, I can't see it happening," said Peter Ward, a professor of paleontology at the University of Washington.

isn't the final planet in the film "solaris" a sentient one??

I like this thread . Better then reading log headers's crappy and retarded comments.

Any way, one more concept is there. Mutation from Manav to mahamanav
