The Singularity

MattyD89: Ray Kurzweil - The Singularity.

Look him up. One of the most influential people in technology since Thomas Edison. Has innovated and invented many technologies still used today. He predicted the internet to the exact year as well as many other advances within technology. Steve Jobs, and Stephen Hawking have both declared him one of the smartest men alive, and the best at prediction future technologies.

Ray (and many others) believe it will be completely possible to live forever by 2028. With exponential growth within technology many scientist see it to be true. Already we have stopped, and even REVERSED the aging process in mice.

Of course, if you get hit by a bus, see ya; but soon we will be able to stop the physical aging process due to pre determined DNA coding and subtle environmental factors such as carcinogens. Already some people have mico computers inside their bodies that can help fight against disease. Soon everyone will have them and they will be able to completely kill any type of disease the human body can acquire.

We live in a very special time. Technology has never been so good, or progressed so fast. 50 years ago new technologies came out every so often. Now you couldn't keep up with them even if you wanted to.

Another very cool FACT - Ray has done everything within his power, know how, and money to reverse his own aging process with the limited available technology we do have right now (for this purpose). He started over 5 years ago. When he started he had a biological age of around 45 or something. Since his regiment of strict diet, exercise, and pill taking (over 200 a day) assembled by the best doctors in the world, and himself, his biological age has decreased to around 39. Simply amazing.

This documentary is eye opening: ray kurzweil transcendent man

Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

oldskoolPunk: There is a line between scientific fact and science fiction lol

MattyD89: there is also a fine line between ignorance and smarts. Ray Kurzweil has been one of the most influential people in science in the last thirty years. Maybe if you did you own research you would see that. Maybe if you knew anything about science and advancements you'd know this.

Again, Stephen Hawking and Steve Jobs have both recognized him as one of the greatest to ever live.

Everything I wrote is FACT, especially the part about YOU being ignorant.

beanalbert: Whatever but the truth is that..noone can be immortal.Whatever the technological advancement..the difference between techlogical growth and natural balancing might be always constant.

MattyD89: Immortality no, of course. Even the Earth and Sun will inevitably end one day. But life given the ability to live well past three of four hundred - Yes!

beanalbert: I dont know much about this technological advancement.but using my common sense..what i feel is the targeted output i.e living more on earth overcoming eaging..might follow a prototype developemnt and its developemnt under favourable real life natural scenerio on human being ie man might be costlier .May one should create sampling human and do its reasearch and see output after 3 and 4 hundred years of life..but it might be difficult.

MattyD89: Well, like you said "using my common sense...". And let me assure you - YOUR common sense is not near as accurate as Ray Kurzweils. I would trust a man with YEARS of PROVEN experience in the REAL WORLD over yours any day on this topic. Hate ta say it.

oldskoolPunk: Lets all throw actual proven science out the window and follow Steve Job's marketing strategy lol

oldskoolPunk: Perhaps there is a reason everyone knows who Albert Einstien is but noone has ever heard of Ray Kurtzweasel

MattyD89: hahahahahahahaha okay now i hear you. youre absolutely retarded. EVERYONE in the scientific/technological community knows RAY KURZWEIL! just because you only know the most famous theorists/mathematician ever doesnt mean theres not other smart minds out there influencing and changing science everyday. watch transcendent man. LEARN about the topic. you know when people first said wed make it to the moon uneducated retards like you said it was IMPOSSIBLE! what about travelling three times the speed of sound? what about the nuerino particle that travels faster then the speed of light JUST discovered. what about all of einsteins theories that have flaws and have been proved wrong in certain situations. you dont know shit about proven science. proven science - WE HAVE REVERSED THE AGING PROCESS IN MICE! and lots more. watch the documentary before you talk shit about something you know completely nothing about. you will see the most influential and smart people in science today talk about ray kurzweil. you will hear ray kurzweil. you will see all the things he has invented YEARS ago that you still use today. and not innovated, INVENTED!

MattyD89: i think its VERY funny that you think youre smarter then ray kurzweil, steve jobs, steven hawking, and MANY others in the scientific community by disregarding what they say and think on topics they work on everyday.

what do you do for a living? a genetic scientist? i think not...

entertainment at its finest - human ignorance.
