The Future has Arrived

People have always had romantic dreams of the future--dreams of flying cars, teleporters, and other technologies that reflect the ideals of the decade. But while these visions have been progressing at the same rate as the years, the rate of real technology has been increasing exponentially. The split between what can be imagined and what is real has been growing smaller and smaller with time, and now we’ve finally reached a point where the technology we are working on is matching or exceeding our “dreams of the future”. Few people understand exactly how advanced our science has become: we have researchers actively working on invisibility, creature resurrection, even rudimentary time travel! I don't think this amazing technology should stay in the dark, so in this blog I will be showcasing current research and new technologies the likes you've only seen on star trek. They say there’s no time like the present, and that’s true. Our reality has become stranger than science fiction.
