Future Business Tech2022.3.1---2200 年的十大技術

0:00 In 2200, significant technological advancements are changing the world forever. For example: 0:06 1. Mind Uploading Has Become Mainstream For several decades, the average person 0:12 has had access to special clinics where they can transfer a copy of their consciousness 0:17 from their physical brain to a machine. This is because 0:21 human brains became 100% compatible with software shortly beforehand. 0:26 With this procedure, billions of nanobots are inserted into a person’s brain 0:32 capillaries and every single electrical pattern from each brain region is copied. 0:38 The electrical patterns are transferred to a computer program that contains an 0:43 artificial brain with duplicate brain structures to accept this information. After this procedure, 0:50 a version of the person wakes up as a computer program and undergoes a series of tests to make 0:57 sure the upload was successful. This entire process can take hours or days. 1:03 Most people typically have the option to transfer their consciousness 1:07 to a virtual body in a realistic simulation. 1:11 However, the wealthiest individuals have another option. That’s because: 1:16 2. Synthetic Human Bodies And Brains Are Now A Reality 1:21 It’s now possible to construct entire synthetic bodies along with 1:26 synthetic brains that can be transplanted into those bodies. On the outside, they’re often 1:32 indistinguishable from real human bodies. 1:36 Synthetic bodies are able to have higher strength, stamina, speed, 1:41 and agility than normal biological bodies. And depending on how they’re customized, 1:47 they’re able to survive in some of the harshest environments in the solar system. 1:53 For example, a person with a high-end synthetic body can freely walk around 1:59 on the surface of Mars without a spacesuit. There are also relatively cheap synthetic bodies 2:06 with visibly mechanical parts that are more affordable for people in the middle class. 2:12 Synthetic brains are far superior to a biological brain in every way 2:17 imaginable. They’re able to compute up to millions or billions of times faster than 2:23 biological brains. From the perspective of someone in the early 2000s, the most advanced 2:29 type of synthetic brain can make a century of intellectual progress in less than one second. 2:35 There are varying levels of computational power 2:39 and memory for each type of synthetic brain and they’re sold at varying price levels. 2:45 However, a significant percentage of the population view this technology as 2:50 immoral and blasphemous. With each passing year, there’s an increasing divide between 2:56 those who want to enhance themselves and those who prefer to reject this type of technology. 3:02 3. Virtual Simulations Now Have Quantum-Level Of Detail 3:08 These simulations are the next step of evolution after the Metaverse and full-immersion 3:14 virtual reality. Every conceivable detail of these realities look and feel exactly like 3:22 real life. They’re capable of being very similar to the simulation from the movie, The Matrix. 3:29 For example: • Every object and even the air are 3:33 now comprised of individual molecules and atoms • Physical forces such as gravity, electricity, 3:40 magnetism, air resistance, and more now function the same in these simulations 3:46 as they do in real life. • Organisms can grow 3:50 and reproduce just like in real life • And every possible physical sensation 3:55 including eating, swimming, and playing sports feels exactly like real life 4:01 These simulations are so realistic, that if an average person was connected to 4:06 one of them without consent and left in it for many years, that person would be 100% 4:13 convinced that all of it is real. 4:16 There are life-like simulations for multiple time periods including the 1800s, the late 1900s, 4:24 and an interpretation of the year 3000. 4:27 And these realistic simulations are increasingly 4:31 being used as destinations for people who upload their minds to computers. 4:37 4. Invisibility Suits Are Now Possible Researchers have created a cloth that can make 4:44 anyone who wears it invisible. It’s considered a metamaterial that can alter how light bends 4:51 and it alters the movement of light throughout various parts of the material. 4:56 Users wearing these suits are able to use their thoughts to toggle the invisibility. 5:03 Intelligence and law enforcement agencies could use this technology 5:08 to infiltrate restricted areas. Innovations in heat signature suppression and sound wave 5:16 redirection allow spies to go into more areas than ever before without being detected. 5:23 In the near future, this technology will be applied to a wide range of 5:29 physical objects. An area of particular interest is the potential to make a synthetic human body 5:36 comprised of nanobots that allow users to toggle invisibility. 5:41 5. Artificial Gravity Is Now Possible With the help of advanced artificial 5:47 intelligence, scientists have discovered how to generate artificial gravity fields. 5:54 This was made possible by creating a stable form of neutral antimatter that falls upward 6:01 instead of downward when close to a massive 6:04 gravitational source such as the Earth. This type of matter has a negative 6:10 gravitational mass instead of a positive gravitational mass like most types of matter. 6:16 Because of this discovery, engineers are able to create a spacecraft with a ceiling 6:23 containing this antimatter and a floor containing normal mater. This creates 6:29 an artificial gravity field that always pulls people and objects downward from their frame 6:35 of reference. This artificial gravity field would also protect everyone inside a spacecraft 6:42 if it achieve rapid acceleration that would otherwise prove lethal. 6:48 In the future, this concept could be used to create suspensor belts that allow people and 6:54 objects to float in mid-air. We could also produce aircraft that can quickly change their altitudes 7:02 in ways that would be considered unnatural from the perspective of someone in the early 2000s. 7:09 Another method of creating artificial gravity involves spinning an entire spacecraft 7:15 or parts of that spacecraft around a central axis. 7:19 The centrifugal force from this spinning motion creates a downward force at the edges 7:27 of the spacecraft that can simulate the gravital force humans experience on Earth. 7:33 6. Hi-Tech, Automated Cities Are Being Built By 2150, cities were already substantially closer 7:42 to what science fiction authors envisioned in previous centuries. 7:57 • Floating cars are now extremely common to see on the roads. They 7:57 float silently on cushions of magnetism created by room-temperature superconducting pavement. 7:59 They rarely need refuels since there’s almost no friction to slow them down as they travel. 8:04 • The external appearances of buildings can morph and change 8:08 shape because of their claytronic surfaces. • Advertisements in the form of 3d holograms 8:15 are extremely commonplace. • Electricity is passed 8:19 wirelessly from building to building. • Cameras and sensors are everywhere and 8:25 they can track the footsteps, body movements, and facial expressions of every person and 8:32 instantly identify those people. Even the internal biological states of humans can be monitored such 8:40 as their neural activity and pulse, which can give clues about their immediate intentions. 8:47 • Android police can be summoned instantly because robotic officers now appear to grow out of the 8:55 ground. This is made possible through the use of claytronics and nanobots embedded into buildings, 9:02 roads, and sidewalks. • Worker robots now outnumber 9:06 humans even in downtown areas that would have been typically crowded with cars and people 9:13 in earlier times. This is partly because people of today spend the majority of their time connected 9:20 to virtual environments, which are many orders of magnitude more interesting than real life. 9:27 Not only that, • Building surfaces, windows and roofs are 9:31 completely resistant to dirt, bacteria, rain, and graffiti. And they can self-repair in the event 9:38 of damage. The coatings for these buildings are often applied to cars and other vehicles as well. 9:44 • And roads and pavements are made of special materials that clean themselves and absorb trash. 9:52 7. Holodeck Cities Are Now A Reality In the early 2000s, supercomputers 9:59 used a simulation technique called lattice quantum chromodynamics to perform 10:05 calculations by dividing space-time into a four-dimensional grid. Initially, 10:11 it was only possible to simulate an area that was slightly larger than the nucleus of an atom. 10:18 But, as supercomputers and quantum computers reached higher and higher computation levels, 10:24 it became possible to simulate larger volumes of space-time. 10:29 By the 2070s, it was possible to simulate a complete virus with absolute 10:35 accuracy down to the smallest known quantum units. 10:40 In the early 2100s, entire brain scans were perfected and simulated at the quantum level. 10:47 Soon afterward, the entire human body and entire rooms could be perfected simulated. 10:54 In 2200, entire cities can be constructed using quantum units as their building blocks. 11:02 These cities are enclosed in four-dimensional grids. 11:06 And, they’re effectively, miniature universes that are fully programmable and controllable. 11:12 These holodeck cities are also accessible using VR devices as well. 11:18 Although the physical space for a holodeck is limited in size, as users traverse through it, the 11:25 floor moves so that the visual environment changes and appears considerably larger than it really is. 11:33 8. Uploaded Minds Are Being Transmitted To Other Planets 11:38 It’s now possible to send copies of human minds on laser beams between planets and moons. 11:45 Putting a copy of a mind on a laser isn’t too much 11:49 of a technical problem since lasers can hold an almost unlimited amount of information. 11:56 A network of relay station has already been built throughout the inner solar system. Each station 12:03 is able to receive those laser beams, amplify them, and send them to the subsequent stations. 12:10 These laser beams travel between the relay stations at light speed. 12:16 Relay stations have been placed on stationary comets instead of moons 12:22 since moons orbit around planets and are often obscured by those planets. Laser sails are used 12:30 to transport self-replicating nanobots to those comets. Those nanobots then 12:36 use the surface materials on those comets to physically make the relay stations. 12:42 On the Moon, Mars, and Titan, there are robots and synthetic bodies 12:47 waiting for those lasers and they will activate once human minds are uploaded to them. 12:54 As humans begin to explore others star systems, this will likely become the 12:59 preferred method of transportation for people who have transcended beyond their biological bodies. 13:07 9. Probes Are Reaching Neighboring Star Systems By 2150, a wide variety of probes to neighboring 13:15 star systems have successfully reached their destinations. The fastest 13:20 of these probes can now achieve speeds that are moderately close to light speed and they require 13:28 only a few decades of travel time. As a comparison, space probes from 13:33 a century earlier would have taken many thousands of years to reach these stars. 13:39 A variety of different engine systems are being utilized such as antimatter, nuclear 13:45 pulse propulsion, and other more experimental methods. These probes have cone-shaped force 13:52 fields that protect them from incoming debris. And programmable matter is used to slightly change the 14:00 shape of these probes to reduce the numbers of collisions with hydrogen atoms in space. 14:07 After traveling for trillions of miles, the majority of them 14:12 successfully reached their destinations. They’re returning a treasure trove of data 14:17 and visual information from planets and moons of other solar systems. Additionally, 14:24 they’re providing images of Earth and the Solar System from light-years away, 14:29 providing a new perspective of humanity and its place in the universe. 14:35 10. Large-Scale Civilian Settlements 14:39 On The Moon Are Now A Reality Dozens of permanent Moon colonies 14:44 have been established. Large self-assemblers using nanotechnology enable these settlements 14:51 to be constructed in a matter of hours or days. Most of these settlements are concentrated 14:58 in the southern polar region of the Moon, which has greater access to water. 15:04 Advances in genetic engineering, cybernetic implants, and synthetic bodies allow humans 15:11 to be fully adapted to the gravity of the Moon. But to take this a step further, 15:17 artificial gravity is starting to be used in some facilities so that humans 15:23 experience gravity on the Moon that is similar to the gravity on Earth. 15:28 A very large telescope is also operational, for long-distance astronomical observations. 15:36 The lack of an atmosphere and other conditions gives it a tremendous advantage 15:41 over Earth-based telescopes. Lava tunnels under the lunar surface 15:47 are filled with entire cities containing many millions of people and their robot companions. 15:54 In some of the largest and deepest caverns, 15:57 the lunar conditions allow for a number of gigantic science experiments. For instance, 16:03 neutrino detectors are being built at scales and efficiencies that far surpass the ones 16:10 on Earth. These experiments are confirming profound insights about scientific phenomena 16:17 that were first discovered by artificial super intelligences decades ago. 16:22 Because of limited space on Earth to house data centers and supercomputers, the Moon is now being 16:29 utilized for this purpose. Formerly separate cave systems are now interconnected, forming 16:36 hyper-fast computer networks across a significant portion of the Moon's surface and subsurface. 16:43 Thanks for watching.
