advanced technology
we take a look at seven evolutionary
technologies which could completely
change our world current modern-da
computers are becoming deadlocked be
Moore's law and they will eventually be
replaced by a new type of computing
technology quantum computers utilize 
quantum bits otherwise known as qubits
these qubits behave quantumly so they
have the ability to use one and zero at
the same time allowing for exponentially
faster calculations however current
quantum computing is still in its
infancy phase since qubits are
notoriously tricky to manipulate and
maintain so they're not able to play
crysis or even run Windows for that
matter only time will tell if quantum
computers become a part of our everyday
lives
number six nano machines we have 
utilized basic forms of nanotechnology
with self-cleaning materials and
sunblock which reflects ultraviolet
light but this technology is still in
its infancy phase and we have only begun
to discover its potential imagine a set
of nano machines which could destroy
cancer cells or have the ability to
transform a truck to a sports car there
really is no limit to what
nanotechnology can do but the main
problem autonomous eenz is that it does
bring up a new realm of problems
associated with energy and even
production and we also have to consider
that nano machines can be one of the
most powerful weapons ever made which
could make it to be one of the most
revolutionary head deadliest
technologies at the same time but to
engineering things at a now skill can
also lead to new developments in meta
materials and they are not really
machines but they're more so materials
which don't occur naturally a few
examples would include a cloaking device
or even a super lens which gets around
the problems associated with wave decay
but the applications of metamaterials
are basically endless ultimately if we
can figure out how to build and
mass-produce things and a now scale it
will completely change our world at
number five ultra capacitors we always 
hear about a new battery invention every
year and it's almost comical at this
point but invented something which
supersedes existing battery technology
and actually making it practical well
that's another story we also have to
keep in mind that batteries have limited
lifespans and they have lengthy charging
times that's
capacitors can overtake this type of
technology since they can charge within
seconds and Germer cycles and even under
grow greater temperature variations but
the only problem is is that capacitors
do not quite carry the same energy
density as a battery so a car running on
the equivalent weight of capacitors
would not quite get the mileage as you
would on batteries that is quickly
changing though and research is being
done with graphene and metal carbides to
make a better capacitor which has
greater energy density combined with
getting the cost of capacitors down then
we could ultimately see the capacitor
replace the battery the question is is
how long is that really going to take
out of before limited ai I'm going to
re-emphasize the word limited because
this type of AI system is already in
place and it's rapidly changing things
from driving vehicles to performing
surveillance it has no doubt proved that
it can outperform humans in certain
tasks and it has limitless potential so
what about a fully conscious AI and why
am I not mentioning that well I don't
think it's gonna happen anytime soon the
riddle to consciousness is figuring out
how it even works is it based on
survivability or is it something deeper
than that like a soul there is no
universal agreement on what life even is
so humanity can progress another hundred
even thousand years into the future and
there still may not be an answer to this
problem but at some point maybe not in
our lives but sometime in the future it
may become very difficult to tell the
difference between a human and a laborer
today our system portraying human
I never three vr immersion it's not
really that far off to think that we may
just end up living in a fantasy world if
we are not already total via our
immersion would obviously be able to
stimulate all five senses and therefore
we wouldn't be able to tell the
difference between real life and the VR
worlds with nearly half the population
of poverty this would be a very powerful
incentive to visit VR but that is only
if the technology becomes cost viable to
everyone obviously this is a topic for a
whole nother video and let's just hope
that people are not eventually jacked
into a matrix style system but if we
take a one step further augmented
reality
which superimposes images and
information on the real world may be the
key to power and it might give one
person an information advantage over
anyone who does not have access to the
technology obviously this would create
more of a disparity in society and it
just shows once again that technology
can be both a benefit and a detriment to
our everyday lives at number two
room-temperature superconductors
superconductors were discovered over a
hundred years ago and they have a
property of exhibiting zero electrical
resistance they also expelled magnetic
fields and as some of you know I'd like
doing experiments on the spirit effect
ultimately whoever figures out how to
make a room-temperature superconductor
will hold one of the most important keys
to the future of technology from hover
trains to ultra efficient motors and
even power lines with zero energy loss
there would be a complete revolution now
we have experimented with a few things
and nothing has been clarified just yet
one of them being metallic hydrogen but
it is also very unlikely to be
metastable it might just be super
conductive when it's under extreme
pressure graphene also could be super
conductive but this is a 2-dimensional
layer and it still needs to be cooled
down but having said that there have
been advances in graphene design and
production so it could be the answer to
this problem we'll just have to wait and
see that's number one fusion power but
let's be honest here we always hear
about how fusion power is just around
the corner but this time around I think
there are some real breakthroughs from
MIT to the ITER in even the tokamak
reactor there are multiple projects
around the world which are using
different approaches to a stable
reaction there's even the lauki compact
fusion reactor project which is intended
to be a mobile 100 megawatt unit not
much more information has been cleared
lately
mit has also made the extreme claim that
they will produce stable fusion power as
soon as 2025 but maybe fusion powers not
the answer to our energy needs it might
come from an outsider which is pretty
much ignored by mainstream science one
example this is the brilliant light
power Sun cell reactor to sum this up
it's basically a reaction which forces
hydrogen atoms to go to a lower than
ground state and exhibit enormous
amounts of energy now yes I know this
technically impossible
but it's kind of neat to see working
prototypes actually produce a reaction
ultimately whether it comes from fusion
or some other source it is much needed
and it will help advance our
civilization into the future
Nice
