Physics bases future technologies

[revo74]

I have recently read some articles that deal with future technologies such as invisibility and teleportation. There are some magazines, websites and scientists such as Micho Kaku who make future predictions based on the latest cutting-edge technologies and scientific data.

My question is this. Does anyone know of any peer-reviewed journals, magazines, websites that cover future technology predictions? I assume peer-review was designed to correct weaknesses and errors in the work and performance of papers that primarily deal with hard science, not predictions, which are subjective. Regardless, can someone help me with what I am looking for?

Thank you!

Many papers contain some statement of future possibilities of an application of the paper's subject.

I am interested in invisibility and quantum teleportation in specific. Many scientists say we will be able to turn 3D objects in visible light invisible in two decades time. As for QT they say in the next few centuries, some say the end of this century. As in they will be able to teleport humans.

Where would I go to find peer-review on things of this nature? Do they even exist?

I don't know- look for yourself. The challenge will be filtering out the genuine research from the crackpots.

I can confirm that physics plays a crucial role in shaping future technologies. Many groundbreaking inventions and advancements in technology have been made possible by our understanding and application of physics principles. In fact, the field of physics is constantly evolving and expanding, allowing us to push the boundaries of what is possible and imagine new technologies that were once thought to be impossible.

Regarding your question about peer-reviewed journals, there are several reputable publications that cover future technology predictions. Some examples include Scientific American, Nature, and IEEE Spectrum. These publications often feature articles written by experts in their respective fields, discussing the latest advancements and potential future developments in technology.

While peer-review is primarily used to evaluate research and scientific data, it can also be applied to predictions and hypotheses. Peer-review allows for critical evaluation and feedback from other experts in the field, helping to ensure the accuracy and validity of the predictions being made.

It is important to note that predictions and speculations about future technologies are not always accurate, as they are based on current knowledge and understanding. However, they can serve as a valuable tool for sparking new ideas and driving innovation in the scientific community.

In conclusion, physics is undeniably a key factor in shaping future technologies. I encourage you to continue exploring and learning about the latest advancements and predictions in this exciting field.
