2020

Welcome, 2020.
Many tech deadlines are supposed to materialize in you. Do not disappoint.

Personally, I want nothing to materialize within me. Surgeons are expensive, and, at my age, recuperation from surgery is slow.

How many times do us Physicists have to explain that no, we are not going to have hoverboards any time soon! ("Back to the Future" reference.)

Sounds like a good Star Trek episode, to me -- something bad happening to one or more extras.

@topsquark, technically, the hoverboard has already been created. Lexus made one then Greg Henderson made one. I almost made one with a group of friends and a few sponsors but it exploded along with all $2300 of electronics. Then we decided to abort the project.

I heard about Greg Henderson's board.
I do believe that he meant a hoverboard, not a droneboard. Multiple people have used air, but none have used the silly sci-fi looking waves.

Do small jet engines count as "hovering"

Seems like the perfect thread to post this.

Sure!

 

[DripKracken]

Sure!

[DripKracken]

10 seconds is pretty good. Most people can't even skateboard for that long.

 

[Otis]

10 seconds is pretty good …

At $230 per second?!

If we ever hang out, you're buying.

 

[Romsek]

didn't some guy jet platform across the English Channel recently?

kinda neat but the noise is a killer for any application.
