Emperor Duval in coma - it's a strategy to something big!
- Thread starter luma
- Start date
Yeah, I think that and generation gap will be the hardest issues to be able to live with
Then you must be familiar with this

and brain controlled games and machines, right?

Not so far anymore?
No still just as far - seeing as neither of those pictures display anything that will extend the human lifespan - yes someone can now walk with a robotic leg and someone can move a ball which is programmed to react to certain brain signatures. Still nothing to do with extending the human lifespan. You're just giving examples of advancements in technology and then going see we'll be immortal in no time - show me a picture of someone who was once blind and can now see thanks to science. I'm sure that's more evidence that we'll be immortal in 10 years.
No one said that we will be immortal in 10 years, but in 3300 we will.
About the bionic eye... its was news all over the world google it for more info, but take this one

Actually, really, really far. Brain controlled games are incredibly crude at present, working by detecting large scale shifts in brain activity. If you want anything complicated or powerful (like mapping a brain fully in a state that it can exist in a recognizable form as software), you're going to have to crack a lot of pretty fundamental problems. Not least of which is that human brain is covered with ridges to maximize surface area, but every brain is ridged differently. That and the brain constructs itself as you grow. That means that even if you could map your brain absolutely perfectly, that tech wouldn't work on me and we'd have to start over.
Eventually we'll solve a lot (or all) of these problems.
But there's a much bigger problem to my mind - how are we going to divide the space and resources if people stop dying? We either have exponential growth until we run out of food/energy and space or we stop people breeding, stagnating society and making living for a long time a punishment.
And finally... for ever is a really long time. Do you really want to be here when the universe dies of heat death? When all matter is so spread out that nothing can form? Just you, floating in the infinite cold. Forever.
I'd suggest it's not a goal worth striving for.

Just two instances of the blind being given their sight back, and I didn't even have to try searching for these.

Just because you want something to be true, doesn't make it so. As someone said before, how does a bionic leg and crude mind game overcome entropy? Do you even know what entropy and the mechanics of aging are? Do you understand how your DNA decays? I'm guessing you don't.

That's basically me stating that we'll have flying cars next year and proving my point with a picture of a Boeing 747.

You guess too much.
And posting your Boeing and say this is my car its not the same, and you know it

Yes, the games sucks, but the principle is awesome. Only a matter of time (not much time) and you will be playing those in microsoft kinetics.
About the resources, that would be the main problem (already is!!!), but is all about elite main idea: In a far future we would be around the galaxy, everywhere, like a plague
About the end of it all, It will be in millions of years from now, it wont be a problem! We will create more matter and more universes so we can live happily forever. I see a bright future for humankind

It's kind of looking like things are building towards a succession struggle and civil war in the Empire if historical trends are a guide. However, I don't think the Federation is going to be in any shape to exploit it as I think we're looking at a palace coup or even a military coup in the Federation in the coming weeks or months which might well lead to civil war. Right now, if I'm the Alliance, I'm watching very carefully and attentively because there could be some very interesting options opening up soon. Of course, the Alliance could have its problems as well as the fighting from these conflicts will probably end up spilling over into their borders--in fact, they already have. I have a feeling now would be a good time to batten your hatches because it's going to be a bumpy--and potentially profitable--ride.
You need to study more
EDIT: the lifespan in 1900 it was 45 years old... do the math
Yeah, the average lifespan means nothing really. It was so low due to not easy access to medical treatment to treat infection and viruses, therefor you get many young people dying. So the average of the whole is brought down dramatically. But the expected life span of an average man (natural death), even in Ancient Greece was over 50 or 60.
The easy access to treatment, drugs/antidotes for common viruses and infections and better birthing methods are the things that push our 'average life span' higher. Less people dying very young. Doctors don't come out with a new drug every 10 years that pushes our 'limits' 5 years further... It's statistical misconception.
Wonder if we'll get an Imperial War of Succession?
As for lifespan as others have said we've had advances that mean we're less likely to get killed before our bodies fall apart anyway, we've not done much (anything really) about the falling apart. It increases average lifespan but not maximum lifespan.

Enough of the off-topic debate please.
Yes the Emporer is in a coma, but what a lot of people seem to have also missed is that the Federation VP was found dead a few days ago under suspicious circumstances. Add to the fact that the empire has been downplaying the emperors health since December. Don't you find that these 2 news items are a little co-incidental? Maybe someone much higher up is pulling some strings? (and I'm not talking about FDev )
Would like to see some more alliance/independent news too.

All of it means evolution. The average lifespan was almost the same 2000 years ago and 100 years ago. In 100 years you almost double it.
There are more people with more than 100 years old now than ever, does this means anything?
Yes, it means that we've got a lot better in the last 100 years at stopping people from getting killed (either through accidents or being able to prevent and treat diseases). It doesn't mean we've managed to do anything at all about maximum lifespans. Someone 1000 years ago could live just as long as the oldest people now, they were just more likely to encounter something that killed them before they managed it.
Yes it does. It means the 20th century was ground-breaking in terms of getting people NOT to die before their body falls apart... Surgery (organ replacement etc.) can help you not fall apart at 85 but that will never get you to anywhere near 1000yo. Not in 50 years time anyway.
Now, if you were to be able to upload your consciousness into a computer and put that computer inside a robot.....
Maybe the Emporer is allready 1000years old and thats the cause of his condition^^ just my 2 cents
