Want to learn a new language? Would you like to earn a PhD in Physics; perfect your backstroke tennis swing, golf finesse or fly-fishing techniques, while you sleep? While, your immune system catches your body back up on your lack of exercise, fitness and proper diet? How about if I told you, that you most likely will shed about 20-25 lbs of extra weight while all this is going on? Well, if we further develop our sleep research, human hibernation studies and mind or brain advances we will be able to do all this and more in the near future, perhaps less than 5-years. Let me tell you about a few of the latest new rapidly approaching and potentially converging technologies, which will make all this possible. First human hibernation, suspended animation and cryogenics are moving forward. Recently Mark Roth and his medical research team were able to use Hydrogen Sulfide gas, usually a deadly toxin, at a certain ration to induce hibernation in mice, slowing the mammalian bodies down by 90%. Second the Brain research being funded by DARPA is coming along well. Third we have Stanford Sleep Researchers making break thrus on a weekly basis. It will be possible to send an astronaut to Mars in full hibernation while the sleep machine is teaching them everything they need to know while they are on their way. Completely reviewing the entire mission, manuals and late breaking information being discovered by probes, Martian Satellites and rovers, while in route. Learning skills and getting training while sleeping could change the way we teach humans and train them to run our systems and flows of civilization. Simulated training, visual dream augmented reality information assistance and Virtual Reality practice has definite and unlimited value and applications. Can you imagine the benefits of such a convergence of these technologies and what it means for the forward progress of mankind? How about our health care system, how about the health of our nation? Imagine the increased productivity and time efficiency of training. Humans would be put to sleep for three to four weeks at a time, to learn several new skills, electives and pertinent information, while simultaneously healing their individual bio-systems. You know what; We can do this, and so we must. Think on it. |
