Scientific Advances You'd Like to See in Your Lifetime

Teleportation for me, but I doubt it

Being a Star Trek nerd, I'm going to say warp drive. It would make things so much easier if we could travel faster than light. Actually, I think I read somewhere that they're starting to work on that. Who knows. The guy who invented the cell phone actually got the idea from Star Trek, and the idea worked (obviously), so anything is possible.

I don't know if this counts, but finding the cure for Alzheimers disease. Cancer as well. Pretty much any major disease I can think of....

Hover boards/cars. Ever so cliche but whatever.

That would be awesome :tehe:

^Exactly.

I want a cure or at least an advancement in treatments of genetic disorders etc.

I'd like to see a cure for cancer.

Sonic screwdrivers.

I need to put up a lot of shelves.

OH and vortex manipulators.

And Laser screwdrivers.

And laser spanners.

Progress in geriatrics/gerontology would also be nice.

ChenMafia_x:

I'd like to see a cure for cancer.

Yes, that would be amazing.
I'm not sure how likely, though

I want to see a cure for multiple sicknesses, like the common cold. =P

A cure for cancer, or at least a more affective treatment.

They know in vague theory what they have to do as basics to fix the malady, but the complications lie in the method of how to cure it because of different cancers and the fact, on most levels you are dealing with the molecular structure of DNA and genes.

But the funny thing is that we are immune to a heap of "common colds" it's just each new one we contract is foreign and we don't have memory cells that can combat it before the cold symptoms occur. Or when you had the previous identical cold no memory/barely any memory cells were created to remember it's antigens.

Personally, I wouldn't like that because it would make our immune system more susceptible to disease. :shifty

Hover cars. 'nuff said.
Cure for cancer. That would make me...over the moon. God. x]

OH!

Laser-fusion power.

:tehe:

The ability to travel to, send oxygen to, and live on other planets.

HOW WICKED SWEET WOULD THAT BE?!

(My nerd is showing).

Finding out what exactly happened with the Big Bang.

fool's paradise:

The ability to travel to, send oxygen to, and live on other planets.

HOW WICKED SWEET WOULD THAT BE?!

(My nerd is showing).

That would be amazing! Especially since I believe in populating the Earth until there's standing room only and then colonizing Mars.

:shifty

Please don't hurt me.

The ability to travel fast enough to stop time.

Sattelite/radar electricity. (Wicked awesome theory, would totally get rid of our dependency on foreign oil, and on top of that, way less polution. [maybe even none, read about this ages ago])

A mutation in humanity's immune systems that would allow us to better fight disease, and be less dependent on antibiotics and other treatments.

More efficient everything.
