The Past, the Now, & Possible Future for Humanity
At the start of the 20th century, New York City had a pollution problem, horse manure everywhere! Today, the pollution problems are still here, but just one factor in creating today’s worldwide dilemma. As the population of Earth continues to grow by both procreation and human longevity, we will continue polluting, plus compound all the other problematic areas also. At our present level of knowledge and technology, we could only wish we had the minor horse manure problem. In quoting Nikola Tesla, he prophesied earth would be uninhabitable by the end of the 21 century; could we be on the way?
The only conceivable answer to saving the planet and humanity’s survival is our ingenuous technology; it took many inventions to replace those horses, more than just automobiles, required a completely different infrastructure. Today that infrastructure is depleting, while at the same it is requiring additions to handle the increased population. We are fighting a losing battle, and this is just one problematic area. Is driver-less, autonomous vehicles, and both air and land drones the answer? Is building more aircraft and airports to transfer the population through the air on sunny days the answer?
Transportation is only one area, food, housing, medical, and the biggie ‘the economy’ how are we going to fix all these areas also? Tesla painted a gloomy picture for humanity at the end of the 21st century, but he also gave us the means to overcome that prophecy with his genius. Tesla gave a speech, in which some of it quoted in the NY Times article on 21 April 1908 (available on the web), stating possibly man’s ultimate destiny. Within this speech, he outlined some extremely important discoveries than has been ignored for over a century; discoveries that could be the answer to many of the current and future problems facing humanity. Tesla was alluding to real object teleportation, 31 years before the word ‘teleport’ created.
One could visualize how real object teleportation (including humans) could revolutionize the transportation system, but how would that offer any solution to the other problematic areas? In answering this, one can go back in history when a similar situation occurred after the Civil War. All the soldiers coming home to no jobs, no future, destine to become beggars on the streets, Horace Greeley wrote in the NY Tribune in 1871 ‘Go west young man, go west’; become a pioneer and grow with you country. They went west and opened up a new frontier. With teleportation, the new frontier is the entire Universe; humanity can become ‘space pioneers’.
Today with the 900-year old rocket technology, the only potential space frontier for humanity is the uninhabitable Mars planet and possibly some moons. However, with teleportation instantaneous object transfers will become a reality to any location within the entire Universe, as long as the technology exists at both points. Yes, it means we have to go there first, but with the teleporting technology, we can travel at light speeds and with beam generators possibly even thousands times faster than light.
We have come a long way from the horse manure days, but we need to concentrate today on not only fixing current problematic situations, but also keeping in mind the possibility of Tesla’s prophecy for the future. The military may have already developed the technology to reach the stars, as claimed by a leading vendor’s director of top-secret projects. If so, then space pioneers is not science fiction, the private sector can also create the technology, not in future decades or centuries, but today using Tesla’s theories and science. Then in 20 years, we will look back at today, the same way we look back to New York at the turn of the 20th century now.
