More About Me

I'm passionate about

I am passionate about space and aviation. Interested in looking at common problems in a novel way and trying to provide new solutions with minimum side effects.

An idea worth spreading

1.Research in space still seems to be lacking a certain level of risk taking. Aren't we curious what would happen if a human was born in space? What would be the developmental consequences of being born in a different environment than Earth? Why aren't we taking bigger jumps in experiments such as sending more humans rather than plants for certain experiments. Human life is very precious but sooner or later humanity will have to find a new planet to live on as Earth will not be as accommodating forever.

2.Are the founding laws of physics that rule our society valid? Are they flawless? I sometimes believe that the founding laws are either faulty ( some of them) or some of them just have not been "discovered" partially.

3. Ever wondered whether humans would live longer if they would be born and lived in a constant cold environment? This idea might seem unfeasible but think about raw flesh and its "validity" once you thaw it. Hence do seasons have an impact on our life span?

Talk to me about

Innovation, technology,research in space and just about everything that could have an impact on providing a novel look on the world and its founding laws.

  Mar 31 2012: How do you think Richard Branson did it? Where did he start?

• A comment on Conversation: How do you turn a seemingly impossible idea into reality? Where to start?

  Mar 28 2012: Indeed agreed on the networking part but what if people are not ready for a futuristic idea? how do you sell that, how do you sell something that you cannot put a price to it just yet but in the near future it will most likely become a common thing? so does this mean that not having a price tag just yet it automatically becomes worthless?

• A comment on Conversation: How do you turn a seemingly impossible idea into reality? Where to start?

  Mar 27 2012: Ya agreed on the believing part but that goes without saying. I believe in my idea but might not be enough. Sometimes you need significant amount of funding to make it happen. So I wonder how does one attack such an idea? Where do we start?
  Maybe I am just too impatient?

• A comment on Conversation: Earthquakes alert mechanism- is there one? is there any proposed solution?

  Jun 9 2011: So what other topics are out there that we don't seem to have a solution for? Research performed nowadays is very slow and kind of out of sync with the speed of changes that occur around us. Too cautious , we need something more "explosive" if I may say so. What i mean by that fresh new ideas even if it sounds crazy why not explore it.

• A comment on Conversation: What makes our personality and why is unique then billions of people?

  May 29 2011: I don't believe in unique when it comes to humans on a global scale. There is unique within one group of people but when you take all the unique people from within these different groups they themselves form a group which defies the whole concept of unique.

• A comment on Conversation: Earthquakes alert mechanism- is there one? is there any proposed solution?

  May 29 2011: Hmmm interesting... I wonder what other topics are like this one?!

• A reply on Conversation: Ever wondered whether humans would live longer if they would be born and lived in a constant cold environment?

  May 29 2011: I don't watch TV at all, so not familiar with the show but i don't need to watch TV in order to see the true face of "freedom" in N.America. I mean the question of freedom is a whole new discussion but it was interesting for me to discover a whole new concept of freedom as compared to ex communist countries. And I must say the freedom in N.America is not as "free" as one would imagine. It's more like a fenced freedom zone.
  
  But i digress...., and yes i agree food and over medication all those have an influence. i guess I just feel like research is moving at a slower pace than it could.

• A comment on Conversation: Now that we have amazing technology, and every fashion of social network how do we make it effectively solve the problem facing our humanity

  May 29 2011: One cannot save someone who does not want to be saved. Saving the world - start from micro level, particular to general.

• A comment on Conversation: Is there a limit to evolution? Should we aspire creating a human 2.0?

  May 29 2011: Hi Fabio,
  
  Change is beneficial however i wonder if we are indeed still evolving. Our evolution not necessarily stopped but certainly slowed down because humanity managed to created through technology a protective comfortable surroundings. Because of this I cannot say that we are evolving at the same rate we were in the past. However technology is beneficial, I think our evolution on earth is coming to an end very soon and we will need another "version" of human in order to move and inhabit other planets and for this we need technology at least to get us there. And a lot of research.

• A reply on Conversation: Memes (cultural genes with self - replication and mutation powers) and social sites. Evolution, revolution or regression?

  May 27 2011: I would take it at a deeper level of conceptual thinking of a certain culture.
  
  I was referring more to concepts getting "lost in translation" not so much to interpretation of cultural differences. Funny how we always promote diversity and at the same time we promote equality.
