With the rapid development of technology, science has achieved many astonishing milestones, turning concepts that once seemed to exist only in science fiction into reality.
Innovations Promising to Change the World
Artificial Meat – A New Food Source for Humanity
This technology is expected to significantly replace food sources derived from nature.
In 2013, a research team at Maastricht University (Netherlands) created a very special hamburger – with the meat synthesized in a laboratory. Specifically, the beef patty was made from 20,000 artificial muscle fibers over three months from the stem cells of a cow. The total cost to produce a slice of artificial beef was $300,000 (approximately 6.7 billion VND).
However, scientists recently announced that they are starting a project to drastically reduce this staggering figure. This technology is highly anticipated to replace natural food sources within the next decade.
“Editing” Human Genes
Gene editing may bring about unexpected mutations.
In 2015, Chinese scientists announced that they had found a way to “edit” genes in the human body – something many scientists had attempted but failed to achieve.
By using 86 gene embryos, researchers successfully redesigned 28 of these genes. However, they also noted that gene editing could lead to unexpected mutations. For this reason, research into gene modification remains a highly regulated field in many countries worldwide.
Nonetheless, many believe this new technology will enable humans to better combat various diseases – from hemophilia to HIV. Additionally, gene “design” could help prevent over 10,000 different diseases, potentially saving millions of lives globally.
Nano Electronic Vaccines for All Cures
Programmed nanobots will actively attack disease sources once introduced into the body.
Nano Robots, also known as Nanobots, are a type of extremely small robot, measuring just a few nanometers, capable of infiltrating and controlling parts at the molecular level. With nanobot technology, scientists can program them to enter the body to control everything and actively cure diseases.
The application of nanobots in medicine is considered a revolutionary breakthrough in disease treatment. Once programmed and introduced into the body, these nanobots will actively attack disease sources, isolating pathogenic cells precisely while preserving normal, non-infected tissues and cells.
If nanobots are used to treat cancer, cancer cells will be completely destroyed without affecting other cells, unlike traditional treatment methods.
Technology for Inducing “Temporary Death”
This technology will give critically ill patients a better chance of survival.
In 2014, doctors at Pennsylvania Hospital (USA) successfully paused all functions of a living body, or simply put, induced a state of “clinical death.”
To achieve this, the patient’s blood is entirely withdrawn and replaced with a special solution. At this point, the patient’s body temperature drops to just 10 degrees Celsius, and all vital functions such as circulation, respiration, and even brain activity cease.
Inducing a state of clinical death allows doctors more time for challenging surgeries while increasing the patient’s chances of survival. After a successful operation, blood is pumped back into the body, and the patient can recover within just a few hours.
Moreover, those with vivid imaginations believe that this technology will offer critically ill patients a chance of survival by inducing a hibernation-like state. These individuals would simply wait until humanity has the capability to cure their ailments in the future.
Robot Soldiers with Human Attributes
The most powerful countries will have secret cloning programs for super soldiers.
This technology is also controversial as efforts are made to create Terminators to meet military needs. The most powerful countries will have secret cloning programs for super soldiers, real humans who are cloned, grown, and implanted with mechanical arms, legs, and as many robotic parts as possible.
They will be human armies with the superhuman strength of Iron Man and Captain America. They will fight without emotions, questions, pain, or fear.
