00:00 Science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke wrote "2001, A Space Odyssey" in 1968

00:06 about a future human-crewed mission to Jupiter in the year 2001.

00:10 Boy, was he ever wrong!

00:12 We haven't even sent people back to the Moon yet!

00:14 The point is, predicting the future is notoriously difficult to accomplish.

00:20 However, some things in the future are not so difficult to predict.

00:24 For example, with the successful deployment of the James Webb Space Telescope,

00:28 we can safely predict that many, many exoplanets will be seen for the first time.

00:33 These exoplanets will be seen in the infrared light they give off, not in visible light.

00:39 Their exoplanetary atmospheres will be identified according to the gases they contain.

00:45 Signatures of life like ozone, methane, oxygen, and carbon dioxide

00:50 will be able to be detected, if life is present.

00:53 Civilizations living on any of these exoplanets

00:56 will be able to be detected by the heat patterns of their cities,

00:59 again, if there are cities.

01:03 There are many discoveries and inventions in laboratories and research think tanks at the present time

01:08 that we will become aware of within the next 10 years.

01:12 All this is not only very exciting, but also life-changing on a social and a personal level.

01:18 Just like when computers and cell phones were rushed into production

01:22 and worldwide distribution within two decades,

01:24 which totally changed the way we manage our daily lives,

01:27 there are things coming now that will make our present lives seem old-fashioned.

01:34 Brightside's first prediction, one world language.

01:37 All the peoples of the world will be able to speak to each other and understand each other,

01:42 instantly, by means of wearable and/or implanted universal translator devices.

01:48 Instant electronic communication systems began altering society

01:52 with the advent of the telegraph and telephone in the 19th century.

01:57 But personal communication between different peoples and cultures

02:00 has remained stunted due to the differences in spoken language.

02:04 That barrier is going to be confined to the dustbin of history within the next 10 years.

02:09 One world language devices are going to be a real eye-opener and ear-opener.

02:15 Artificial intelligence is the technology that will enable the one world language to emerge.

02:20 Many more benefits of AI can be expected too.

02:24 AI will enable society to do away with cash as a medium of economic exchange.

02:30 It is possible that this will happen within the 10-year horizon we are forecasting.

02:34 The difficulties society is currently experiencing with different monetary systems

02:39 are not acceptable in a world that is not homogenizing, but harmonizing.

02:44 Each person will be "plugged into" a worldwide economic system, optimally designed by AI.

02:51 AI will begin to determine national decision-making within an international framework of cooperation,

02:57 coordination, arbitration, and remediation.

03:00 War will become a thing of the past, obsolete,

03:03 counterproductive to human development and economic coordination.

03:07 This can happen within 10 years.

03:10 You may be beginning to doubt these predictions.

03:13 Just hold your doubts for now.

03:16 When astronauts first went to the moon and looked back and saw our beautiful Earth in space,

03:21 humanity transformed itself.

03:23 All the unifying developments we have seen since then

03:26 can be related to and derived from that vision of ourselves in space.

03:32 And speaking of space, there are two developments in telescope technologies

03:36 that have a good outside chance of coming into play within the next decade.

03:41 Liquid telescopes and ionized gas telescopes are entirely possible.

03:46 Liquids in zero gravity form themselves into a reflective surface.

03:51 No polishing or adaptive optics are necessary.

03:54 A huge reflective surface can be created in orbit,

03:57 so big that we could probably see the smiles on the faces of the exoplanet inhabitants,

04:03 if they exist, and a million other things too small to see with the James Webb Space Telescope.

04:08 Don't laugh, NASA has already bought into this liquid telescope idea

04:13 and is testing it in space right now.

04:17 Ionized gas is also perfectly reflective.

04:20 Before we talk about a crater on the moon,

04:23 let's remember we have an astronaut mission to the moon already planned,

04:27 called the Artemis mission, and it's almost ready to go.

04:30 Soon you will see astronauts on the moon,

04:33 and they'll be wearing brand new good-looking spacesuits.

04:36 Back to what I was saying, a crater on the moon a mile wide

04:40 could be flooded with ionized gas and electrified with generators

04:44 to create a giant ionized gas telescopic mirror.

04:48 Who knows what we would see with an ionized gas mirror on the moon?

04:52 License plates on vehicles on exoplanets, if they have them.

04:57 Okay, wait a second, I might be getting carried away a little bit.

05:01 We want to know what we'll see in the next 10 years.

05:04 I can see now why Arthur C. Clarke went so off the mark.

05:09 Down here on the ground, we could see aurochs,

05:12 dodo birds, and mastodons again within 10 years.

05:16 We have already recovered the complete DNA of these extinct creatures,

05:20 and with the science of gene splicing apparently picking up momentum,

05:24 these species of animals, and probably some others too,

05:28 should be able to be bred back into existence within 10 years or less.

05:32 Each of these animal species was hunted by humans into extinction,

05:36 so it would be a good act of atonement to bring them back.

05:40 Not so sure about T-Rexes though.

05:43 Concrete could be replaced within 10 years.

05:46 It should be replaced ASAP because it's not green.

05:50 As concrete dries, it gives off carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.

05:55 The use of concrete in modern society accounts for 8%

05:59 of all carbon dioxide emissions worldwide.

06:02 Not only that, modern concrete loses its structural integrity

06:05 after about 80 years and begins to crumble.

06:08 We should learn from the ancient Romans.

06:11 Roman concrete gets stronger with the passage of time.

06:15 Professor Joseph Davidovitz, the father of geopolymer science,

06:19 has shown that ancient concrete did not dry in the sense that we know.

06:23 It anneals.

06:25 That means it dries without shrinking or giving off carbon dioxide.

06:30 Currently, the formula for this ancient concrete remains lost,

06:34 but geopolymer science is working hard to bring it back.

06:37 You should start to see concrete going out and geopolymer building materials

06:42 coming in within the next 10 years.

06:44 That's a different look.

06:46 Our clothing will change big time.

06:49 Manufacturing techniques for nanofiber cloth are continuing to be perfected.

06:54 What was only possible to make in small swatches of cloth a few years ago

06:58 is rapidly turning into a technique for mass production.

07:01 Soon, we will have seamless garments in very soft and very strong nanocloth.

07:07 Not only that, but nanofiber production is meshing with microelectronics

07:11 in truly revolutionary ways.

07:13 Our clothing can become able to feel in such a way

07:17 that our clothing becomes part of our bodies.

07:20 Within 10 years, you should see this type of clothing

07:23 showing up on fashion runways.

07:25 We should also see big changes in transportation.

07:28 Supersonic passenger jets promise to be commonplace within 10 years.

07:33 For over 25 years, from the 1970s until the new millennium,

07:37 we had the Concorde, a French airplane that could travel at over twice the speed of sound,

07:42 Mach 2.02 to be precise.

07:45 It was discontinued for safety reasons in 2003.

07:48 Everything looks promising now for the return of supersonic passenger flight.

07:54 United Airlines has placed an order for 13 supersonic jets

07:57 to begin international passenger flights within the next 7 years.

08:02 Automobile traffic is already changing.

08:04 Electric cars, self-driving cars, and hybrid models are already on the streets.

08:10 More changes are yet to come, as gasoline continues to not be the fuel of choice.

08:15 Hydrogen-powered vehicles are being developed experimentally at the present time.

08:20 Will a safe new power source for cars, trucks, ships, trains, and planes

08:24 find its way to the marketplace within 10 years?

08:27 It's not the speed of technological development alone that is the determining factor.

08:32 People's preferences are also a great driving force.

08:35 Is that a pun?

08:37 Yes, what we are seeing is a shift in consciousness among populations of people.

08:42 The people want a future that is better, and they want it as soon as possible.

08:46 This shift in public expectations is what is really driving invention, innovation,

08:51 and changes in the market for transportation, and just about everything else.

08:57 Our food is changing too. It has to.

09:00 Land development, called "urban spread," is stealing land that had been used for food production.

09:07 Therefore, we are seeing changes in our farming.

09:10 "Vertical farming," as urban farms are called, is going through the roof, literally.

09:15 The science behind vertical farming is called "hydroponics,"

09:19 growing food in liquid rather than soil.

09:22 Agriculture schools across the globe are immersed in hydroponics,

09:27 figuring out how to increase nutrition, reduce the cost of food production,

09:31 and increase its appeal to our palates.

09:35 Our oceans are overfished by developed countries.

09:38 Fish farming is becoming essential.

09:41 Recently, Friends of the Earth issued an aquaculture report

09:45 that strongly criticized some current fish farming practices,

09:49 while making a series of great recommendations for the improvement of fish farming.

09:53 Things look good for industrial-level fish farming,

09:56 both in containment tanks in the ocean and on land.

10:00 The good news is that the fish are cooperating admirably by staying healthy and reproducing splendidly.

10:06 It just may be that they do better when they don't have predators stalking them all the time.

10:12 So, hold on to your hats, Bright Siders.

10:14 The future is coming, after all.

10:17 It looks good from here.

10:18 Lots of career openings in new fields, innovations coming into the marketplace,

10:23 and new products that will create new lifestyles.

10:26 But I haven't got a clue as to what kind of hairstyles we'll see in 10 years.

10:30 That's gonna be totally up to you.

10:35 The most incredible technology for transporting things and people could be teleportation.

10:42 Unfortunately, we won't see a teleportation machine in the near future.

10:47 But we will be able to ride perfect self-driving cars with autopilots on the road and in the air.

10:55 We will also ride flying motorcycles and take a vacuum train to get from New York to Los Angeles in just a few minutes.

11:03 So, let's start with self-driving cars.

11:06 The principle of operation of almost all such vehicles is the same.

11:11 The car has cameras and sensors, high-precision maps, and radars that scan the situation on the road.

11:19 A common system unites such machines.

11:22 Each of them knows where the others are, and this prevents accidents or traffic jams.

11:28 Of course, today's cars with autopilot are not so impressive.

11:32 Many people drive them.

11:34 But imagine what will happen when all vehicles on Earth get united by a common artificial intelligence.

11:41 People will forget about traffic jams forever.

11:43 Computers will predict dangerous situations and prevent them.

11:48 But what will people do on the road if they don't drive cars?

11:53 The developers will focus on passenger entertainment.

11:56 The car will be able to tell you the exact time of the trip.

12:00 Do you need to arrive at noon sharp?

12:02 OK, the car may intentionally slow down or increase its speed.

12:08 It will turn into a real electronic assistant.

12:11 You can have a meeting, order food, and choose a movie with the help of voice control.

12:17 The driver's seat has a mini movie theater, a game console, or a mini refrigerator.

12:23 People who like to communicate with drivers will be able to speak with advanced artificial intelligence.

12:29 But, of course, there will also be problems.

12:32 The main one will be the excessive correctness of driving.

12:36 Scientists and developers are working on humanizing machines.

12:41 Here's an example.

12:43 Let's say the car is driving along a busy street and notices a man standing by the road.

12:48 The car's internal system quickly analyzes the situation and decides that the person is going to step onto the road.

12:56 The only reaction of the computer is to pull over.

13:00 The car is slowing down. Another car stops behind it.

13:03 The first vehicle has created a dangerous situation and a traffic jam.

13:08 And the man was not even going to cross the street.

13:11 He was just standing there, waiting for his friend.

13:14 Deal with this issue.

13:16 The developers of some companies equip their cars with a voice.

13:21 That is, they taught them to honk.

13:25 In a problematic situation, such a vehicle will press the horn like an angry driver.

13:30 But the car can slow down if a bird flies by.

13:33 No horn signal will save you here.

13:36 On the one hand, the human factor is one of the main causes of road accidents.

13:41 On the other, a person can analyze a situation much better and choose the right solution.

13:47 It's unlikely that a machine on autopilot will stop to pick up a guy hitchhiking on the side of the road.

13:54 Perhaps this guy has gotten into trouble and he urgently needs to leave that place.

13:58 Or maybe he was bitten by a snake and he needs to go to a hospital.

14:02 The computer can't know that.

14:04 But a kind person behind the wheel will stop and offer help.

14:09 Even if the world gets rid of traffic jams, people will strive for something more, whether on the road or in the air.

14:16 Many engineers believe that autonomous flying taxis and buses are the future of transport.

14:22 But gravity-powered flights will appear in the distant future.

14:26 Such machines will work on the principle of a helicopter.

14:30 They will be stylish small helicopters equipped with autopilot.

14:34 Uber and other companies are investing in such technologies, and you might soon be able to use them.

14:41 Let's say you're late for some event.

14:43 You open the app and book the helicopter closest to you.

14:47 Next, you go to the route where many aircraft are parked.

14:50 Then your pilot takes you to the parking lot of your destination.

14:54 And from there, you quickly reach the location you need.

14:58 And imagine the same thing, but for many people at once.

15:02 You arrive at a particular train station and get on a bus with wings.

15:06 It takes off and follows a long route, taking you and other passengers to another city.

15:12 And what if such giant buses could take you into space?

15:18 Not only cars will have propellers, but also motorcycles.

15:22 There are already hover bikes designed for one passenger.

15:25 You put on a helmet and sit on a small device.

15:29 In 2025, you will be able to buy such bikes for $50,000.

15:35 Unlike flying cars, hover bikes cannot take off to a great height or accelerate to high speeds.

15:42 But in the future, this technology will evolve.

15:47 Air taxis and autopilot cars only work in the air or on smooth roads.

15:52 But what if you need to cross an area with a mountainous landscape or swamps?

15:58 For such off-road areas, Hyundai has developed the coolest SUV.

16:02 Instead of wheels, it has legs.

16:06 This walking vehicle passes through difficult sections and does it with maximum comfort.

16:13 Each leg has knees and can bend.

16:15 It will take you to a high hill or even to the top of a volcano.

16:21 Soon, you won't need to go shopping because stores will come to you.

16:26 Toyota has already created an unusual car you can turn into a store with any goods.

16:32 Clothes, groceries, toys, jewelry, whatever.

16:35 Such vehicles could improve delivery services and provide more comfort to people on trips.

16:43 But the most incredible technology that will appear in the future is the Hyperloop.

16:49 It's a train on an aerodynamic cushion.

16:53 Imagine a capsule traveling at a speed of 760 miles per hour inside a vacuum tube.

17:00 The interior resembles a spaceship capsule.

17:03 You take your seat and fasten your seatbelt.

17:06 Right now, you're accelerating to a speed that exceeds the speed of sound.

17:10 But inside the cabin, you don't feel the speed.

17:14 If you watch this train from the side, it will pass by you faster than you blink.

17:18 And that's how it works.

17:20 You know air hockey, right?

17:22 The puck easily flies through the entire area because small holes all over the field release a thin layer of air.

17:29 The puck doesn't touch the field itself.

17:32 It levitates.

17:33 There's no friction, so it just moves around the area.

17:36 The Hyperloop works on a similar principle, but the air is coming from the capsule, not from the tube.

17:43 Thus, a tiny distance appears between the capsule's walls and the tunnel.

17:47 And with the help of an electric motor, the train is set in motion.

17:52 Okay, we figured out the friction force, but what about air resistance?

17:57 The fact is that at very high speeds, large objects can't move quickly if the air is very dense.

18:03 You literally crash into the air, and it limits your speed.

18:08 Standard airplanes fly at an altitude with much lower air density to develop high speed.

18:14 That's why the Hyperloop will move inside the pipe.

18:17 Special equipment pumping the air out of this pipe will work on certain sections of this route.

18:22 But some air will still be there since creating a complete vacuum requires a lot of energy.

18:29 A special fan on the train's nose will move all the incoming air under the capsule.

18:35 The movement of a vacuum train resembles the work of pneumatic mail.

18:39 This is when parcels pass through pipes installed in a building,

18:42 and these parcels move through the pipes thanks to air compression.

18:47 The Hyperloop should work using solar panels installed on the roof of the pipe.

18:52 Elon Musk has long come up with this idea, but its development has some difficulties.

18:58 The air gap between the tube and the capsule must always be the same.

19:02 Any pipe crack, bump, or stone can destroy the entire structure.

19:07 What if a small earthquake happens somewhere?

19:10 But if engineers manage to develop this technology,

19:13 we will be traveling from Los Angeles to New York in just a few minutes.

19:18 That's it for today. So hey, if you pacified your curiosity,

19:21 then give the video a like and share it with your friends.
