Vimans, Flying Cars, or Flying Carpets
Posted: 10 Sep 2017
Tori Blakeman in today's Guardian asks: Is the flying car ready for takeoff?
My answer is, yes and no. Yes, because the lag between culture and technological invention and innovation has been reduced, though there is a need for greater reduction. No, because, we as humans are not fully ready from an applied anthropology perspective to embrace the new technology into our cultures around the world. We are still spiritually evolving and we have not been best custodians of mother earth and space. Some institutions may also declare that there is a need to reduce the human population dramatically. There is also the question of when will the world be ready to embrace the technology of air borne automobiles?
The companies listed in Blakeman's articles think the time is now or in the near future. Google already has a prototype resembling a flying carpet and other companies, including a Chinese company have been testing prototypes similar to vimans and flying cars. It seems that science is approaching Michio Kaku's ideas expressed in: Physics of the Impossible, with many real possibilities. A world becoming the one described by Professor Kaku will make my BK Brothers and Sisters excited; they may think we are close to Sat Yug. They may also think we a close to Destruction. Many futurists do not see a forthcoming transformation as the BKs' visions.
With respect to flying cars, I will be more excited when they use green energy and can be controlled by the thoughts of the humans driving them. Some of my former research students are working on thought controlled aeronautical vehicles and I, as a lab rat in the trenches of scientific investigation, have been a proponent of solar hydrogen electrical energy a green energy championed by Professor Kaku and Dr. Horace Walcott. Nociera who developed the artificial leaves capable of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen at Massachusetts Institute of Technology was recently grabbed by Harvard and offered a well endowed Professorship. In one of a lectures a few years ago, he indicated that he will be partnering with the TATA Inc, in India.
As I test hypotheses, day by day in the laboratory on green energy, I do not see the world through a safety eye wear, in which one lens has mirror images of Sat Yug and the other mirror images of global annihilation. For me, it is making the world a better place for all humanity one experiment at a time. Scientists have, over the centuries evolved spiritually and intellectually. Many of my colleagues, I think are shamanistic, irrespective of their religious backgrounds.
Am I worried about becoming a servant of the BKs in Sat Yug? Heavens no!
