Star Trek Warp Drive -- Coming Soon to Your Auto Dealer...

Two physicists have a devised a new scheme to travel faster than the speed of light.
In the long running television series created by Gene Roddenberry, the warp drive was invented by Zefram Cochrane, who began his epic project in 2053 in Bozeman, Montana. Now Dr Gerald Cleaver, associate professor of physics at Baylor, and Richard Obousy have come up with a new twist on an existing idea to produce a warp drive that they believe can travel faster than the speed of light, without breaking the laws of physics. Click here for the rest.
Sign me up for the first ship. Perhaps I'll name it Serenity and find me a crew, some work and keep flying.

Intelligent Manipulation of the Sun?

Don't mess with the sun too much or it may just explode on you! I recall Megatron doing that a few times on the Transformers G1 cartoon (particularly in the "Changing Gears" episode).

If a weapon or other weather modification system was directed at the Sun, complex patterns like these would provide evidence for researchers that something is actually occurring to alter the Sun's X-ray and electron output in response to what was directed at the Sun. In other words, these charts may provide successful confirmation for weather control researchers, if solar X-rays and electron changes match a new weapon or weather modification system operation. Perhaps we will bring the events of 2012 upon ourselves without any outside help. Time will tell.

Japan's Robot for Lonely Men

More and more robots for lovin' instead of fightin'. What's up with that? I want Terminators, Sentinels, Decepticons, et cetera, not Weird Science.

A Japanese firm has produced a 38 cm (15 inch) tall robotic girlfriend that kisses on command, to go on sale in September for around US$175, with a target market of lonely adult men. Using her infrared sensors and battery power, the diminutive damsel named "EMA" puckers up for nearby human heads, entering what designers call its "love mode".

Real Life War Games "Nerd"

My favorite part is where he discusses the "Non-Terrestrial Officers" and spaceships.

A computer geek faces 70 years in jail for hacking into the top levels of US defence. He tells...how, hooked and stoned, he landed himself in such hot water.

Are we all destined for these type of living conditions?

Experts Unveil 'Cloak of Silence'

I wish the device had been available when I was in college. Supposedly, this invention makes something completely 'sound proof.'

Scientists have shown off the blueprint for an "acoustic cloak", which could make objects impervious to sound waves.

SKYNET Begins? (Did Software Kill Soldiers?)

Is the software becoming 'aware?'

It “is assumed that there was a mechanical problem, which led to the accident. The gun, which was fully loaded, did not fire as it normally should have," he said. "It appears as though the gun, which is computerised, jammed before there was some sort of explosion, and then it opened fire uncontrollably, killing and injuring the soldiers."

U.S. Military Gets Newest Kill-Bot

I recall this event being the beginning of the end in the Terminator movies.

The U.S. military's small, but growing, arsenal of armed robots has a new addition.

Sex with Robots Could be Commonplace by 2050!

When is someone going to make a sci-fi movie about an out-of-control sexbot???
Romantic human-robot relationships are no longer the stuff of science fiction -- researchers expect them to become reality within four decades. And they do not mean simply, mechanical sex.

Are We Closer to a 'Matrix'-Style Virtual World?

Perhaps it has all been a digital dream...

Computer scientist Michael McGuigan told New Scientist magazine he believed a “Matrix”-style virtual world, in which one cannot always distinguish between what’s real and what’s not, could be up and running in just a few years. His optimism derived in part from the impressive ramp-up in processing speed he obtained with the lab’s BlueGene/L supercomputer while running a conventional ray-tracing software program that mimics the effect of natural light.

The result? An eye-fooling virtual beam.

Swarms of Transformer-style robots to be built!

More than meets the eye comes to your local military...

Scientists aim to create a prototype team of self-organising, shape-changing mini robots that work as a team by 2013.

The self-healing robots will be able to dock with each other, share energy and co-operate to maximise their abilities to achieve different tasks.
