Future Timeline - Discuss
most of the things are just reports of planned things. You can use Wikipedia as well http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011 that it's more accurate
I went to the first link, and it is currently asking "When do you think faster-than-light travel will be developed." That's about all I had to read to lose interest.
^ You judge the entire site based on that? I think you're being rather harsh. There's plenty of interesting stuff on there. Look at the medical developments in the 2020s-30s for instance, and the progress with Moore's Law in 2050 and beyond, and various other future technologies that are mentioned - all backed up with credible references/citations. The final section has a timeline of the Universe itself. Plenty of interesting stuff. What's wrong with speculating on FTL travel anyway?
Physics isn't set in stone. Just look at Einstein - he completely changed our understanding of physics. Who's to say we won't do it again?
I'm pretty sure Vulkans will invade earth within 10-20 years.
But hey, that's just me.

That would be awesome.
I think we have yet to discover many things. If in 1800 we told people that man kind would one day walk on the moon, would they have believed us?
If you want to go forward in time, travel at the speed of light for a few weeks. When you get back, years will have passed.
Time stops for a frame of reference moving at c, so you can't move for any amount of time at that speed.
If you want to go forward in time, travel near the speed of light for a few weeks. When you get back, years will have passed.

According to relativity, as an object approaches the speed of light, the time the object is experiencing slows down relative to the rest of the universe, which is described by this formula:

It follows that if you're at the speed of light, the equation is now 1/sqrt(1-c/c) or 1/0, the time passing according to the object being the denominator, indicating that time doesn't pass at all according to the object.

Hahah :) Try this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Exceptionally_Simple_Theory_of_Everything
and the actual paper:
http://arxiv.org/pdf/0711.0770v1
The paper is titled "An exceptionally simple theory of everything". The "surfer dude" claims to unify gravity and particle physics ...
The arxiv, where this is posted, is place where mathematicians and physicists actually post.

I think the sight is really interesting.. I know of no where else to get relevant information about the future.. cnn and nbc are all full of crap.. this site has a specialization of information that benefits dreamers such as myself.. but the data is based on facts... like a rolling summary of our expected future? thats neat.. period.
The history channel repeats stuff over and over.. this is a dynamic representation of our history that has not yet passed..
