FLYING CARS OF THE FUTURE


Real cars of the future are not vehicles that will roll on four wheels and look like sleek streaks of lightning or oblong tear drops that hum instead of roar. No, the true prospect of visionary transport is not bound by the winding roads but by the rush of the winds in the sky.
 The Main reason most people today don't own airplanes is not because they are not smart enough to learn to fly. It is because of the initial cost of Flight training and owning and maintaining an aircraft not to mention storing it, is beyond most peoples financial means.A flying car could be the turning point of all that.


How many times has science fiction turn to fact. You dream it! You can do it! and it will really come to pass! everybody will be on air flying1 no more traffic on road1 we have enough space on air. 
 

It is, perhaps, one of the more enduring questions about the future: When will flying cars arrive? I don’t have an exact answer, but I’m optimistic that the first versions will appear within a decade’s time. No more late for work.

Just think back 100 days ago owning an automobile was a really big deal and involved considerable mechanical skills and expense.A lot of people actually hated the dam things cos no money.

How beautiful it is to be on one of this things  

                                                                           
And finally, If someone in the USA doesn't push to get a flying car on the market it will be done by somebody else in another country.ie Japan,China, India . And then they will be selling them here.

Slideshow: Top Battery-Powered Bikes



M55 RoyalElectric bicycles are not yet an everyday sight on the streets of London or New York City, but that’s about to change.


Last year, more than 25 million electric two-wheelers were sold in China, adding to the 120 million already on the road, and there are indications that electric bikes could soon take off in the West as well.

A recent report by Pike Research predicted that e-bike sales in the U.S. will see annual growth rates of approximately 20 percent over the next six years, and high-end car manufacturers like BMW and Audi are already developing e-bike models to meet the growing demand.

Other factors, including the rise of bicycle commuting in U.S. and European cities, high gas prices and concerns about global warming, are also likely to boost the e-bike market. Plus, these bikes are just plain fun to ride.

Steve Roseman, founder of the San Francisco-based Electric Bike Network, recently told Outside Magazine that riding one felt like “a fairy godmother tapped you on the shoulder and made you twice as strong.”

Convinced yet? If you’re ready to buy, here’s a list of the top e-bikes to suit every personality.

10 Great Mysteries of the Universe


The world is full of mystery. The important thing we always remember to God.  
Here are 10 great mystery of the world:

1.Antimatter   

 As the evil Superman, Bizarro, the particle (normal matter)also have opposite versions of themselves called antimatter.For example, an electron has a negative charge, but theantimatter positrons have a positive charge. Matter andantimatter annihilate each other when they collide and their mass is converted into energy via Einstein's equation E = mc2.Some futuristic spacecraft designs incorporate antimatter engine 

2.Cosmic Background Radiation

 This radiation is also called the Cosmic MicrowaveBackground (CMB) which is the remnant radiation that occurswhen the Big Bang birth of the universe. First detected in the decade of 1960 as a radio noise that appear scattered throughout the universe. CBM is considered as the most important evidence of the truth of the Big Bang theory.Accurate measurements by the WMAP project showed that the CMB temperature is -455 degreesFahrenheit (-270 Celsius). 

3.Extrasolar planets (Exoplanet).

Until the early 1990s, we only know our own planet in the solar system. However, today astronomers have identified morethan 200 extrasolar planets outside our solar system. Searchthe Earth both seem to have succeeded until now.Astronomers generally believe that better technology is needed to find some of the world as on earth.




4.Neutrino

Neutrinos are elementary particles are massless and uncharged metal that can penetrate the surface.Some of the neutrino is penetrating your body while reading this article. Particles "phantom" was produced in the nucleus of stars and supernova explosions. The detector is placed beneath the surface of the earth, below sea level, or into a large chunk of ice as part of IceCube, a special projectto detect the presence of neutrinos.

5.Mini Black Hole

 If the theory of gravity "braneworld" radically new and provencorrect, then scattered thousands of mini black holes in our solar system, each about the size of the atomic nucleus.Unlike black holes in general, these mini black holes are the remnants of the Big Bang and affect space and time in different ways.  




6.Vacuum energy.

 Quantum physics tells us that contrary to appearances, emptyspace is a bubble made ​​of subatomic particles "virtual" whoare constantly being created and destroyed. The particles that occupy each cubic centimeter of space with a certain energy,based on the theory of general relativity, produces antigravityforce that makes more space to expand. Until now no onereally knows the cause of the universe's expansion. 


7.Gravity Waves

Gravitational waves are distortions fabric of space-time predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. The wave propagates in the speed of light, but weak enough so that scientists hope to detect them only through a colossalcosmic events, such as the merging of two black holes as in the picture above. LIGO and LISA are two detectors designedto observe these elusive waves.





8.Dark Matter 

Scientists think that dark matter (dark matter) is the largestconstituent of the universe, but can not be seen and detected directly by current technology. Candidates range from heavyneotrino to invisible black holes. If dark matter really exists,we still must require better knowledge about gravity.






9.Quasar 

Quasar glistened at the edge of the universe that we can see.Quasars release energy equivalent to the energy of hundreds of galaxies combined. It could be that quasars are a very largeblack hole in the hearts of distant galaxies. This image is thequasar 3C 273, which was photographed in 1979. 




10.Collision Between Galaxies.

Apparently each other galaxies can "eat" each other. Even more surprising is the Andromeda galaxy is moving closer toour Milky Way galaxy. The picture above is a simulation ofAndromeda and our galaxy collisions, which will occur in about 3 billion years.





Hopefully this article add your insight! 

3 World's Oldest Trees

This time I will post about a unique and interesting articles. Hope can enhance your knowledge.Usually when the oldest tree in our society are often at the connection between the things mystical.But you can believe it or not, it turns out there are trees older than 4000 years. Woow .. curious?.

This is the third most Old World Tree:

1.Bristlecone Pine 4200 years


Spruce or pine (pine) is a tree of the family Pinaceae that we can find anywhere and anytime as long as the area's sandy calcareous soil, plenty of water or that have a fairly high acidity. We can find thistree starting from Siberia, Scotland, Norway, the Canary Islands, the Philippines, the Himalayas untilall corners of New Zealand, Brazil and Chile.

This tree is famous because in addition to live everywhere also have a very high selling power in thetimber industry. All the pine trees can be used ranging from wood, sap, twigs, seeds until the leaveshave a valuable economic purpose of this commercial really aliasnya tree

Spruce is one of the long-lived tree that can reach the age of about 100-1000 years, and even recordto be the oldest tree in the world through the pine species from the Great Basin Bristlecone Pine(Pinus longaeva) who in 2008 was 4840 years old! This tree is between 30-80 meters high but the average height 15-45 meters. The highest tree species from the Sugar Pine, while the shortest isPotosi Pinyon pine and Siberian Dwarf Pine.


2. Jomon Sugi 2000 - 7000 years 


According to wikipedia, Jomon sugi is Japan's oldest cypress trees found in 1968, with a height of25.3 meters with an estimated volume of 300 cubic meters was between 2000-7200 years YakushimaIsland is located in the northernmost part of Japan's 40 minutes by plane from Kagoshima Airport .

3. Norway Spruce Ione 9550 years.

Only 4 feet tall, but a kind of pine tree, which still lives in Sweden, known 9550 years old. Life since the last ice age, the tree is listed as the oldest in the world today.

  
 Ione Norway spruce species was discovered in 2004. The researchers found around the bushmountains at an altitude of 910 meters in the province of Dalarna, Sweden. This tree is not rarebecause people often use as a Christmas tree.

"He was a very long most likely triggered emampuannya clone yourself," says Leif Kullman, professoreologi and environment at the University of Umea, Sweden. Stems and branches are known to survivefor 600 years. Kullman explained, when the stems die, new stems will be formed from the roots so that his age becomes very long.

This tree is older than Bristlecone pines in the White Mountain California only 5,000 years old. The oldest Bristlecone pines survive only up to 7,500 years but grew towering up to 150 meters. If age is measured from the Bristlecone pine tree on branches that are monitored each year, age is measuredfrom the spruce in Sweden in radiocarbon traces its roots.

Kullman stated that trees older than 9550 years impossible. Therefore, the whole area is still covered with ice the possibility of Sweden at that time.
