Ideas - The Dimensional Door
| Thesis | Conclusions
Could the technology for this concept be fairly simple? Could the components consist of copper and aluminum wires, an iron spike, duct tape, a programmable mobile phone and a crystal? How could a doorframe or doorway be used to define the transportation space linking two different places and with what power source? Would the minimal energy of a battery or conventional electricity from a 110 V socket be sufficient? This is of great ecological interest. As with wireless communications and travel to the moon, sometimes the most incredible ideas come to life simply because they are so inspiring. Their use for ‘good’ or ‘bad’ will always depend on our humanity with results probably similar to those of all previous innovations. Such an invention can not singularly ‘save the world’, but it would offer yet another opportunity for the expansion of human endeavour with the hope and desire that it be used for peace. Nor can it be interpreted as technology coming to the rescue of our ecological crisis. We still need to address our existing environmental problems at their sources. It is just a matter of space-time. Our human force is to dream and imagine. It is a question of finding the reality that will bring our ideas into being. In 1850, the mobile phone was only a fantasy in a coal and steam powered world. |
