Singularity: Kurzweil expects intelligent computers as humans within 12 years.
According to futurologist and Google chief engineer Ray Kurzweil, the singularity is approaching by leaps and bounds. “By 2029, computers will have the same level of intelligence as humans.” This is the statement made in a recent interview at the SXSW Conference. What is the singularity? (It is always good to remember this) It is a process-event that will bring the intelligence of computers to a higher level than that of human beings. And according to leading experts on the subject it seems to be getting closer over time. Even the theoretical physicist Stephen… Read more
If the Tesla Model 3 meets the plans, it will outperform Mercedes and BMW in one year
Tesla Model 3, the electric car created by the tycoon Elon Musk, has collected 400.000 reservations of €1000 each: it is legitimate that it has big plans for the future. Three months after the start of production, the Tesla CEO reflects on the possible sales triumph that in the United States would place it higher than the BMW 3 series and the Mercedes C-class in a single year. It's a titanic undertaking: to achieve it, Tesla would have to sell the equivalent of all its cars in one year... Read more
How to become a Martian. The course is coming
The movie The Martian seemed like pure science fiction just a few years ago, with Matt Damon surviving on Martian soil for months on end growing potatoes and producing water. Yet today there are those, like Elon Musk, who dream of bringing as many people as possible to the Red Planet. Other scientists do not reject the idea of a mass migration to #Mars, once the Earth has been definitively exploited. Within ten years, according to Elon Musk (who founded the SpaceX space agency), there will already be… Read more
The solar roof that makes houses greener
#Tesla has many plans for the future, not only in the automotive sector. The company recently unveiled its renewable energy projects dedicated to the consumer market. Tesla and Elon Musk have officially announced the "Solar Roof", i.e. a solar roof that will allow the production of renewable energy without having to install any solar panels. At the same time, Tesla also presented the Powerwall 2, the second generation of home batteries. Both will be able to make any home completely independent from the point of view... Read more
Hyperloop, the train of the future
If in southern Italy there are trains traveling at 30/40 km/h, the train of the future, which barely touches the tracks, is already almost a reality. It's called Hyperloop, and it will revolutionize rail transport. You can travel from Rome to Milan in 20 minutes. The test that took place recently in Nevada on the super-fast train had positive results. So in the next few years, will we be able to reduce train travel times? The test that took place in the desert lasted a few seconds, the time that ... Read more
SpaceX, on Mars in 2018
Elon Musk is serious, and promises to bring people to Mars by 2018. Very little, if we consider that there are less than two years left. Elon Musk, after creating the space travel company SpaceX, once declared that he wanted to die on Mars: is his dream about to come true? Details of the program are expected to be revealed by Musk himself at the International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico in September. The announcement is part of a larger project… Read more
Amazon will make us travel into space in 2018
Amazon intends to change our lives, and not just when it comes to purchasing products online. No, Jeff Bezos really wants to take us into space, as tourists, and he promises to do it within just two years. Science fiction or very close reality? In fact, it seems that Bezos will begin testing space flights with people on board next year and, if all goes well, tourists in groups of six will be able to experience a short space flight as early as 2018. Bezos himself said it, ... Read more
Hyperloop will soon begin its tests
Elon Musk finally made it: his Hyperloop is starting to take its first steps. The first test stretch (about 10 km) in California is under construction. It is located in Quay Valley, between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and will carry 10 million people in its initial phase for the next two and a half years. In the prototype trains, passengers will reach a speed no higher than 260 km per hour in this initial phase, but in some… Read more
