Gregory Mone presents his book “The Truth about Santa: Wormholes, Robots, and What Really Happens on Christmas Eve “We all know Santa Claus: fat, jolly, omniscient, swift. Lives in a nice home in the Arctic, with the missus and a pack of elves. Well, forget what you know. Santa Claus is from Greenpoint, Brooklyn, as it turns out, and hes not as fat as he used to be. Heres something else you didnt know: hes been dabbling in some futuristic technology, and has found myriad ways to make his job possible. How can Santa know whos been naughty and nice? Simple: implant listening devices into your ornaments. How can he make it to every house Christmas Eve? Thats nothing a little cloning and some wormholes cant solve. And he has plenty of other tactics: quantum entanglement, organ replacement, drug-induced hibernation, and unmanned aerial vehicles, to name just a few. In this fantastically illustrated, affectionate, and hilarious book, Gregory Mone uses science and technology to overturn the assumption that Santa cant be real. Drawing on the work of accomplished scientists and researchers, Mone gives us a whole new portrait of this remarkable man and the miracles he makes happen every year. With imaginative artwork and an eye-catching package, this book makes an outstanding Christmas gift for just about anyone. Gregory Mone visits Google’s Cambridge, MA offices as part of the Authors@Google series.

WHAT IF… Animals were used as life support machines?… Life Support by Revital Cohen

Posted by admin on Jul 16th, 2010 | 1 comment

Exhibit at the WHAT IF… exhibition in the Science Gallery, Trinity College, Dublin in 2009. Life Support, 2008 by Revital Cohen. Assistance animals – from guide dogs to psychiatric service cats – unlike computerised machines, can establish a natural symbiosis with the patients who rely on them. Could animals be transformed into medical devices? This project proposes using animals bred commercially for consumption or entertainment as companions and providers of external organ replacement. The use of transgenic farm animals, or retired working dogs, as life support devices’ for renal and respiratory patients offers an alternative to inhumane medical therapies. Could a transgenic animal function as a whole mechanism and not simply supply the parts? Could humans become parasites and live off another organism’s bodily functions?

Warhammer 40k: Space marines

Posted by admin on Jul 14th, 2010 | 25 comments

Through a torturous regiment of organ replacement, genetic modification, psycho-chemical conditioning, and rigorous physical training that would kill a normal human, a Space Marine becomes superhuman. He can fight without sleep or food for weeks, he can digest poisons, he can breathe toxic gases, and he can heal from grievous injury. On top of his impressive physical powers, a Space Marine has access to some of the most devastating weaponry in the Imperium. From orbital strikes to lascannons to the trusty bolter, a single Space Marine can obliterate an entire city block. He is further blessed with Land Raiders, Razorbacks, and the hardy Rhino to transport him across the battlefield. Lastly, the process that made him superhuman also enables a Space Marine to wear his trademark power armour, a suit of ceramite that protects him from many weapons. Ultimately, however, the true power of a Space Marine lies in his unwavering faith in the Emperor. He is the divine Master of Mankind, chosen by the gods and worshipped for one hundred centuries while he sits entombed in the Golden Throne. The Space Marines consider themselves particularly blessed because part of the gene-seed that flows through their enhanced veins is from the Emperor’s flesh. They are truly the physical manifestation of his will. Note: Some pics are made to make jokes on the Space Marines.

Sensory Organ Replacement and Repair (Synthesis Lectures on Biomedical Engineering)

The senses of human hearing and sight are often taken for granted by many individuals until they are lost or adversely affected. Millions of individuals suffer from partial or total hearing loss and millions of others have impaired vision. The technologies associated with augmenting these two human senses range from simple hearing aids to complex cochlear implants, and from (now commonplace) intraocular lenses to complex artificial corneas. The areas of human hearing and human sight will be desc
