What are future scientists doing?

To tell the truth, Tencent WE Conference is top-notch in both interest and quality of dry goods among many conferences in China science and technology circle.

Because WE conference basically has no commercial factors, scientists and cutting-edge technical experts bring pure forward-looking scientific speeches every time. For enthusiasts in these fields, they can put down the heavy industrial burden on weekdays and let go of their brains. It's an honor.

This year's WE conference has a lot of content flowing out. But in contrast, everyone is of course more concerned about the breakthrough shooting plan created by Hawking and NASA, the realization of quantum computing, and the possibility of human beings overcoming cancer and rejuvenating. However, since it is necessary to open a brain hole, I intend to discuss something mentioned at the we conference, but it is not very noticeable: futurology.

Among the speakers at this WE conference, apart from experts in the fields of celestial science, life science and AI, there is also a futurist who is committed to solving global problems with the invention of black technology? Pablo holman.

As a futurist, what are you up to? What is the difference between them and scientists, entrepreneurs in science and technology, and even fortune-telling experts who set up stalls under overpasses? After learning this term, it sounds a bit mysterious. How can it help our life?

Let's try to answer these questions from the speech on the day of the WE conference.

What are future inventors busy with?

Pablo holman, like many cool-sounding technology bulls, has many titles. These include hackers, inventors, business consultants, futurists and so on. But at the same time, he must be an orator ... In fact, in recent two years, Pablo holman has delivered basically the same speeches as WE Congress on various platforms including TEDx. And this standardized speech just shows what a futurist and inventor are busy with.

Although topics such as immigration to outer space, quantum computing, and rejuvenation sound very sci-fi. But Pablo holman's speech on solving future global problems with inventions is not inferior in brain hole index and sci-fi index.

Let's take a look at what inventions this futurist with the same strong face value index has brought:

1. In sub-Saharan Africa, female mosquitoes suffering from malaria were killed by laser cannons (the legendary cannon was finally realized).

2. Put a water pump on the seabed to circulate the cold water on the seabed and the hot water on the sea surface, thus eliminating the hurricane.

3. Put a balloon filled with helium at a height of 20 kilometers and emit sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, thus reflecting sunlight, lowering the atmospheric temperature and offsetting global warming.

4. Put some nuclear waste in a jar and concentrate it to get a full reactor, so as to make an energy supplier that can burn for 60 years.

5. Coin-sized nanorings. If you light it with natural gas at home, you can continue to generate electricity for the whole family.

6. A jar can keep a cold storage effect for several months without any energy, thus delivering vaccines to poor areas.

7. Radar made of metamaterials can complete satellite communication in any environment.
