If you could invent anything...

If you could invent anything, what would it be and what would you do with it?

Example: Time machine/keep it to myself and travel…a lot.
Food replicator/give it away to third world countries.

Just for fun share your ideas or dreams.

With the Multiverse model you can time travel and mess with history, oh what fun that would be – THE POWER! Better yet, document the Pyramids being built…

Food can replicate itself, Hydroponics already exists but yeah, I’d say a Star Trek type Replicator would be Joseph’s Peace Machine.

The replicator happens to be one of the mad-science grails I have not figured out 100% yet. Any physicist will tell you, as did Einstein, there is equivalence to energy/mass and wave/particle duality. That means we can take energy waves and turn them into particles with mass (matter).

A Replicator would simply be a synthetic “observer” capable of collapsing the wave function.

I believe that scalar interferometry is the new laser and has many applications beyond heating the atmosphere. I believe a scalar bottle can be used as the “eye” of the observer. It can look at a given piece of matter as with any other form of spectroscopy, but it sees it holistically, all the way into hyperspace. Once scanned the eye can then be pumped with the signature of that matter.

You know how Ghosts can cast a shadow into space itself and create cold? That is FORM bleeding into local space from hyperspace, sucking in photons and cohering electrons. Were that ghost to really “concentrate” it could become visible and attain mass…

A washing machine that creates black holes…?

Where disappearing socks go
Some people have suggested that socks go missing in the laundry because a space-time warp somehow transforms them into belly-button lint and dust bunnies that appear out of nowhere. That’s only half-right. Take a look at this diagram of the modern clothes dryer, then note the similarity to this picture of the ATLAS detector at Europe’s Large Hadron Collider. Is that mere coincidence?

I didn’t think so.

Dryers have been spinning away since long before the LHC was ever conceived, driving socks into collisions so energetic they build up powerful jolts of static electricity. Can anyone deny there’s a chance – even if it’s a 1-out-of-10500 chance – that such collisions could generate miniature black holes? And can any scientists truthfully say there is absolutely zero chance that such black holes could grow large enough to gobble up one of a pair of socks, leaving the other behind as a kind of laundry-hamper Hawking radiation?

I didn’t think so.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you … the Not-So-Large Ban-Lon Collider. Your laundry room contains a device perfect for doing small-scale experiments in string theory. (Or is that yarn theory?)

“……or maybe just a hot water heater that never goes cold?”

Well Mike, actually there is a Tankless Water Heater…The units heat water only when it’s needed. So you reduce waste by not heating and reheating the same tank of water.

When there is a demand for hot water, the unit senses the flow and starts the heating process. This results in hot water that is not limited to what’s available in your tank, so you always have clean, hot water when you want it for as long as you need it! When the demand for hot water ceases, the tankless unit shuts down and uses no energy.

I would invent an asphalt that stays 40 degrees or warmer…

the tankless hot water heater is great. but costly i have found installing a 20 gal tank works great . we have 4 people in the house hold. and we can take showers and baths the same as with a 40 gal.
the small tank has less water to heat with a faster turn around. it works for us.

colonel dig the new du. lol

if i could invent anything.. time travel would be at the top. with it you can control everything

Hi Sir Edward,

I wanted a tankless hot water heater and looked into them. The cost of the heater while high is not much higher then a 40 gal hot water heater. But, I found I would have to re-wire the house to accommodate it. I and most people have a 1200 amp service and I was told you need at least a 2400 amp service for the tankless heater. I could have used gas but my wife nixed the idea as she thinks I would blow up the house.

you could also get 2 or 3 smaller ones that mounts under your sink . that way you wouldnt have to rewire. but then again the cost would be about the same as rewiring the house . lol

Actually, heating water as you need it was the original method. the water-heater with a tank or “hot water” water heater was invented as more practical and more efficient method. That is changing as more efficient heat exchangers are developed. I’m pretty sure instant hot water is only done electrically, no gas version.
Watch out for the new high-efficiency heat-pump version unless your tank is outside the house. They get their extra heat by pumping it from the room around them (ie stealing efficiency from your furnace). This would probably only be practical in very warm climates.

Robert, Maybe in YOUR age group; however, in MY age group, I believe the cheater’s are mostly men. For some reason the ego gets in the way and they just can’t let go of the ex-wife, the old girlfriend, the woman who might have been…..

I hope you are treasuring your 5th wife – the one who just completed nursing school. The grass may look greener somewhere else but they have probably used fertilizer on it so its full of s-it.

I would invent a time machine – not a time-travel machine, but one that could crank out extra hours or days as needed.

Example: It’s 6am. I would really like three more hours sleep, but I have to be at work at 9am. With my nifty machine, I could get the extra shut eye and still be to work on time.

Of course, the time would never have to be paid back. (;^)

Rob,

There are a few interpretations of quantum mechanics and of time travel. If you were to time travel only you would experience divergence, everyone else continues in the collective time stream they know.

Bryan,

String Theory – I don’t do math per se so I’m no expert but…Yes 11 dimensions, Branes, Planck scale – far from Newton. Dark Matter resides in those higher dimensions, they should be synonymous.

Interesting thing about physics, even though Einstein made the observer a critical piece of the equation there is still no term for observer, as far as I know. There can never be an objective equation, yet they still work away at a GUT as if.

I have my own theory in my pics, you may have to download it and zoom in to read it though. It is my answer to the grasshoppers out there like Bill Maher and Jehovahs Witnesess who are too stupid to figure out that THE TRINITY and ONE are the same.

People ask me how this can be. Well, one water molecule can exist in 3 different phase states, also why assume we are dealing with whole numbers if ALL IS ONE. if ALL IS ONE then we should be dealing with the world in fractions, as in three thirds = one.

WOW that is so difficult.

What are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something? That’s dialectic physics. "

The problem with a human curing tube would be not needing to keep yourself healthy anymore. I could just imagine if it didnt matter what you did because a trip to the cube would erase it. It would have to erase fat too because no one would eat good or exercise anymore. I could see a food shortage happening, i know i’d eat my weight in potato chips, as it is now, i dont touch them…lol

I would invent a over and under washer and dryer. After the the washer has stopped,it releases the clothes and drops into the dryer. That way I would never forget to put the clothes in the dryer. It would be a very eco-friendly invention. Think about how many times we forget and we have to re-wash clothes. What a waste of water and power.

I’d like all fridge manufacturers to incorporate a standard design that allows the homeowner to expel the heat to the outside in summer and take in cold air from the outside in the winter. I have no control over this so I won’t bother tinking about it but I’m sure a very clever design could be made. Also, I’d like a fridge door with one or more portals in it. You know, like a torpedo tube you could put a pop bottle in so kids aren’t continually opening and closing the entire door to get a drink.

Actually wave generators might work quite well on the great lakes,I spent quite a few years on the lakes in the coast guard and sheriffs dept marine division and the waves on the lakes can pretty much rival those on the ocean at times…winter ice can be a big problem however as the lakes can freeze over completely and moving ice flows come togeather with massive destructive force forming pressure ridges that can be 20 feet thick or more …crushing docks vessel hulls etc. so any off shore equiptment such as wave generators or windmills would have to be pretty robust in construction.
