2012 Science Trends

Well, science is making some decent headway in particle physics, astrophysics, astronomy, healthcare, material science, nanotech, and personal tech as we are all very aware. Okay so, let's talk about all of this for second shall we?

It looks as if IBM and Intel are both working on major breakthroughs in things like spectral imaging, supercomputers, and the new chips that use unbelievable materials, able to process with ultra-efficiency and at speeds unheard of. It looks as if science may crack an individual's DNA sequencing for a cost of under $500. Also we note that major discoveries are being made in cancer research, and the mapping of the human brain. Each incremental push forward seems to be bringing us to the point of major breakthroughs.

The concept of thought swapping is moving ahead very rapidly, it appears that in the future our personal tech devices, social networks, and virtual world will be a blurred reality. Our thoughts may become more transparent, which will lead to all sorts of cultural changes in our society, and places throughout the world. It may be too much for some things, and even change the dynamics of our reality. This is thanks to all the great neuroscience discoveries.

Will this be the year that particle physicists discover the God particle? Well, it appears they will discover something, but it probably won't be exactly what they thought it was. In fact it will lead to even more questions, but at least humankind is making significant progress here, in unlocking the secrets of our world. Great strides are being made with nanotech especially with all the crew properties of Carbon Nanotubes, and Graphene - these new findings, will lead to changes in almost every single industry from computers and biotech to transportation and energy. They will even allows humans to design future spacecraft; "to badly go!"

Speaking of energy and our future in space; science may be on the path to figuring out new alternative energy sources which used on Earth, as well as wherever humans take themselves in the future. Military science is also moving forward rapidly with high energy laser weapons, autonomous robotic vehicles, and magnetic propulsion. All of these great new discoveries will find transfer technologies into the private space. This means there will be a boatload of new advances in human technology throughout science, but for those we must patiently wait. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this, consider the future of humanity, and think on it.
