Underwater Skyscraper.
Water-Scraper is an interesting approach to population growth, given that our seas are slowly rising. It is a futuristic idea from eVolo’s 2010 skyscraper competition. Being a nerd and having seen every episode of SeaQuest and SeaLab 2021, I fully support this architecture design. It looks like a giant jelly fish and each scraper is self sustaining. Thanks Inhabitat!

I like the idea!! let’s start building them.. wait I don’t have money.

earth-mars both-ways

I did some math this evening.
with a constant acceleration/deceleration of 1G you can be on mars in 42-43 hours (if we want to go to mars when it is at its closest from earth (55 Million Km) if you want to go to mars when it is at 400 Million Km from earth it will take almost 5 days.
just have to found a way to get such an acceleration. maybe VASIMR could do it.
here are the maths: (maybe I am wrong)
4.5(square(t)) + v0 = earth_mars_distance/2 you find the (t) and then the result is t by two. where t is in second.

The Sandpit

The music and sped-up movement make this tilt-shift video different from the other ones you may have seen. It’s not about the “technology”. I felt like a kid watching this video. You live one day in what looks like a pleasant artificial city – that’s actually New York City…

Thanks for the video!! :) I want to do the same for paris now. :/

When most of us think about oil, we tend to think about heating oil for the furnace and about the gasoline and diesel fuel that keeps our cars and trucks on the road. What most of us don’t realize, however, is that oil does more than just fuel our vehicles and keep us warm in winter. It has become the foundation upon which our entire modern civilization has been built. Recently, that foundation has begun to develop some cracks and has become a little shakier than it used to be, as cheap oil and natural gas become harder to find and acquire. Even if we were to develop a new source of energy and a more fuel-efficient car today, without oil, modern civilization as we have come to know it is still in deep trouble.

– World Without Oil That’s right ! time to get rid of oil!
