The future of abundant energy on Earth and into space for this week ending the 16/01/11: We're all cyborgs now regularly traversing space-time through wormholes, Kevin Kelly releases his long-awaited book, IBM's Watson supercomputer kicks some puny human ass, Hugo de Garis describes our homogeneous global future, and for the Singularity topic we look at two talks on the future of energy by Jose Corderio and Robert Metcalfe - 100% renewable energy, the energy Internet, abundant clean energy from solar, and we take it a step further to discuss energy consumption at a star and galaxy level. Gotta fuel that computation!
