Machines may help bring about a Post-Scarcity Utopia, assuming they don’t take over instead, and we dream of a future that is a Post-Scarcity Utopia, but its dark reflection is the Post-Discontent society, one where through deception or brainwashing people do not even known how they are being deprived or oppressed.

Watch the live stream of the launch of Run 3 on CERN’s internal screens or on social media!

Posted by in categories: futurism, particle physics

A mere day after the 10th anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson celebrations at CERN, the LHC will make the promise of a bright future for particle physics a reality, breaking a new energy world record of 13.6 trillion electron volts (13.6 TeV) in its first stable-beam collisions. These collisions will mark the start of data taking for the new physics season, called Run 3.

The launch of the LHC Run 3 will be streamed live on CERN’s social media channels and by high-quality Eurovision satellite link on 5 July starting at 4 p.m. Live commentary in five languages (English, French, German, Italian and Spanish) from the CERN Control Centre will walk you through the operation stages that take proton beams from their injection into the LHC to collision points. A live Q&A session with experts from the accelerators and experiments will conclude the live stream.

For those on site at CERN, the live will be broadcast on the screens in the three CERN restaurants with English subtitles. If you need to take an afternoon coffee break, think 4 p.m!

A Biodegradable Spray Applied to Fresh Produce Could Eliminate a Lot of Foodborne Illnesses and Plastic Packaging

Posted by in categories: futurism, sustainability

That’s not a Faberge egg on the right. It is an avocado sprayed with an antimicrobial fibre to keep the produce from rotting and could become the future way we preserve fruit and vegetables.


Naturally occurring pullulan fibres with antimicrobial agents when sprayed on test avocados proves better than plastic packaging.

Posted by in category: futurism

View insights.


Many technologies popular in speculation and science fiction are so advanced they are indistinguishable from magic. This series looks at if such technologies have any plausible basis in science and what their impact and less obvious implications would be.

The big question of why life exists has challenged minds for countless centuries, but what does science have to say on this matter? Could life arise on other worlds and in other Universes, and what is the reason for it?
