5 Amazing New Inventions (That Will Doom Humanity)

Sce is like heroin: It'll give you some of the best and worst times of your life, and occasionally they will be the exact same thing (sure, that body high is amazing, but you'll have to live with the shame of that indecent exposure arrest at the Red Robin for the rest of your life). Here are five inventions that will most likely revolutionize the modern way of life, right before they flush it down the toilet.

Flame Drills

A man named Jared Potter has recently developed a pair of flame drills that operate at temperatures of 3200 and 7200 degrees, respectively. That's hot enough to pretty well burn through anything, but rather than mounting them on the front of a spike-treaded tank and driving it into the UN to deliver his list of demands, Potter has instead opted to turn the fury of his psycho-drills on the very planet itself. At such high temperatures, the drills are capable of boring through the Earth's crust without ever actually touching the rock itself, thus eliminating the need for replacement drill bits, equipment maintenance and rock cooties.
How This Will Change the World:

If we're able to cheaply and efficiently burrow deeper into the Earth's crust than ever before, we can tap past the earth's crust to the chewy center, where a sea of molten rock lies waiting to power the flying cars of the future. The chief downside to using all that glowing hot earth juice as an energy source has always been location: If you don't live in a Dr. Evil style volcano base, it just doesn't do you much good. But with these new flame drills, geothermal shafts can be dug anywhere, just like tapping a well. A spurting well of unceasing Hellfire, sure, but a well nonetheless. This could cleanly solve all the world's energy needs and, what's better, we could look fucking hardcore while doing it.
"Just harvesting some fuel."
How This Will End The World:

What part of superheated hydrogen drill boring into the Earth's core didn't set off an alarm with you? The whole idea reeks of barely veiled supervillainy, but even assuming that Potter has the best of intentions and is not, in fact, hiding a Cobra Commander mask in his back pocket, tapping a geothermal well where there is not already a natural vent brings a few risks along with it: volcanic eruptions, searing magma, earthquakes and crustal instability, to name a few. A volcano's only job is to provide an avenue for magma to exit through - but dramatic eruptions are only caused when that vent is blocked long enough to build up significant pressure. So if anything blocks, interrupts or otherwise interferes with the vent, then you have all the criteria for a volcano. Where's the nearest power plant to your house? Two miles? Five? Now, where's the nearest volcano? Yeah, well, pretty soon you're only going to need to know the one answer.

Warp Drive
warp1
A lot of thought is being poured into new methods of space travel, and what scientists across the globe are discovering is that Star Trek is awesome, so fuck it: We're just going to do that. The term "warp travel" generally refers to a sort of jury-rigged workaround for the physical speed limit set by Einstein's Theory of Relativity, wherein one would propel space itself around a ship rather than power the ship through space. It's basically just exploiting a technical loophole in the universe, allowing us to travel at warp speeds by virtue of being total dicks to physics.
Take that, Physics, take it all!
How This Will Change The World:
warp2
The great thing is that interstellar travel could very well be a possibility, as the fundamentals of a warp drive are being nailed down by some of the brightest minds in the world right now. Truly feasible interstellar travel could well traverse that last great step for humanity: The creation of a global society. There are countless divides between people that allow us to morally separate ourselves from one another. But interstellar travel could not only bring about the usual benefits science fiction promises us, (namely some of that sweet green alien strange) but also the end of all internal Earth conflict. If there are suddenly a billion other accessible galaxies teeming with life, the "us vs. them" mentality gets scaled up accordingly. Now instead of mere interspecies fighting, it's Earth vs. Everybody Else (hey, let's not fool ourselves here: We're always going to bomb the shit out of somebody; interstellar travel just means you're less likely to be related to them).
How This Will End The World:
warp3
The bad news is that it could cause a black hole every time you put key to ignition. A group of scientists in Italy say that the chief design principle of a working warp drive would also be its fatal flaw: A warp engine would work by creating a massive "bubble" of distorting energy behind the ship, but the energy output is soenormous that if it were to run out--like say, when you slow down, park or just run out of gas--the bubble would inevitably collapse on itself, thereby generating massive, sun-like temperatures before folding and creating a black hole. But hey, you've still got that engine! You can run away from it at warp speed!
...Unlike the solar system you're launching from.
"Boy, space sure was fun. Whelp, time to go."
So sure, you may be able to travel to new galaxies and meet fascinating alien civilizations, but you'll be burning those bridges right behind you--along with the rest of their entire planet. We guess as long as you don't give a shit about the sanctity of alien life, and never plan on returning home, you can burn your way through the universe with your jerk-drive all you want. Jerk.

Artificial Brain
brain3
Artificial Intelligence is a staple of science fiction thrillers--from HAL 9000 to Wargames. The second we established the concept of AI, we pretty much knew that it would hate us with an undying passion. Perhaps we just have collective self-esteem issues; no sci-fi masterpiece depicts an AI that, upon coming online and searching its database in an effort to better understand mankind, responds by shouting, "You guys are awesome! We should get nachos!"
So clearly, creating conventional AI sounds risky; we're naturally assuming hatred and villainy will be an unintentional byproduct. But what happens if you instead simulate a human brain, with the same moral equilibrium, emotions and reactions we possess?
It's not that far-fetched: Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project, claims that scientists will most likely perfect the artificial human brain in the next decade. They've already got the first elements of an artificial rat brain nailed down which, incidentally, might explain why the Internet keeps hissing at us and scurrying into the corner.
How This Will Change The World:
brain1
At his presentation at the TED Global Conference, Markram spoke of such virtues as the ability to solve philosophical questions that have been plaguing mankind (or at least former psychology majors who couldn't hack the bio requirements) for centuries, a greater understanding of how to treat mental impairments and even the elimination of pharmaceutical drug experimentation on humans. It makes sense, doesn't it? If there's an accurate simulacrum of a human brain on your laptop that's perfectly capable of telling you that these virtual blue pills cause it to see screaming and have trapped it in a shame cube, why bother putting actual test subjects through the same torture?
How This Will End The World:
brain2
People are emotional, unpredictable and capable of great cruelty. Now take away all physical pleasure and/or consequences and find out how it reacts.
If you can't imagine such horrors, don't worry because we've already started doing that: It's called the Internet.
Thanks to the web, we don't connect with each other physically as often as we used to and, as a side effect, we've seen an increase in rage, frustration and loneliness. Apparently, physical proximity is the only thing keeping empathy alive. Of course, this version of a virtual brain wouldn't possess the same worrying super-intelligence that we've been worrying about in our sci-fi, but really, is that comforting? After all, it's rarely the learned scholars who kill you for a hot dog and act surprised when they get the death penalty.

Love/Anti-Love Pill
antilove2
An American neuroscientist named Larry Young, of the Emory University School of Medicine, is operating under the theory that love is a chemical state like any other, and can be controlled as such. His research into prairie voles has shown that lifelong mating can be triggered, prolonged or even blocked by altering the level of certain chemicals in their brains. By injecting various levels of oxytocin intoa female prairie vole's brain, Young was able to get the animal--a notoriously, fiercely monogamous creature--to immediately drop her current lifelong mate and bond, just as permanently, to the nearest male instead. In addition to officially using science for the saddest thing ever (crushing the hearts of adorable rodents), Young has also stumbled onto something potentially world-changing, because oxytocin has already shown similar effects in human patients.
How This Will Change The World:
antilove
How much tragedy has been caused by irreparable heartbreak? How many suicides were triggered by the lasting pain of shattered or just unrequited love? What if you could just turn off the heartbreak with a pill? Or, conversely, what if you could hook up with the first person you see, roll on down to the neighborhood Walgreen's for your love-pills, and then experience the same euphoria as Romeo and Juliet, no matter what your prior feelings? Control over one of our strongest emotions could eliminate half of the world's untimely deaths, from lover's quarrels to suicides, thus changing the very face of society. Also, emo bands would probably shut up, so that's a clear win.
How This Will End The World:
antilove3
From an objective standpoint, love kind of sucks. Taking a pre-emptive pill to shut it down rather than risk experiencing heartache in the first place seems pretty tempting. The reason most people find love is that they seek it; they crave the experience even when there's no one there to experience it with. But if the whole need could be done away with from the start, maybe we could finally get some shit done. You want to get ahead at work? Well, having a family takes up valuable time, doesn't it? Anti-love pill. You want to watch the big game, but it's the mandated Sunday afternoon snuggle? Anti-love pill. Your kid's got a big game coming up that a good parent should really attend, but you kind of want to live a life of ceaseless adventure where every night is a guilt-free fuck-party? Anti-love pill!
Sure, a life actively avoiding love sounds lonely, but that's only from the standpoint of a person who is still capable of experiencing it. Who needs a loving, stable family unit or, for that matter, procreation in general, when World of Warcraft just released the long-awaited Ice Elf Orgy Expansion Pack?

Computer Assisted Memory
memory1
Computer assisted memory is a recent goal, in that the very idea itself didn't crop up until we started pretty much practicing it anyway. We started uploading family photos to Flickr and burning our home movies to DVD and now that we've pretty much started doing it already, we want to go farther. From the still far-off goal ofsilicon enhanced artificial neurons, to the shaky present-day experiments already underway that simply photograph your days and archive them in searchable databases - computer assisted memory, in one shape or another, is going to happen.
How This Will Change The World:
memory3
What if you could remember everything? No foreign language would ever get rusty, no keys would ever be lost, no anniversary would ever be forgotten and hastily covered for by purchasing last minute gifts at the gas station. That could all happen with the complete archival of actual memories on an external system. Just imagine it: Terrabytes of storage, and nothing ever forgotten. Wisdom, after all, is little more than the possession of a larger database of memories from which to draw, so picture a world where simply purchasing a new hard drive puts you on par with the Dalai Llama. With an archival memory system, even death wouldn't be the end; your every thought and memory could be accessed by anybody, anywhere, forever. You could have Einstein on a thumb drive to browse through when bored. No genius, artist or visionary would ever be truly lost again.
How This Will End The World:
memory2
"Damn.
Where did I put my keyring? That had my flashdrive on it with 2017. That was the year I moved into my new house.
And... oh, goddammit. That was also the year I started using the artificial memory system - that was the year I chose the password...
Goddammit! Joni! Joni have you seen my keyring?
J-Joni? Wait, where's my house? Why am I living at the YMCA? Am I divorced?"
With an artificial memory system, one unlucky day turns you into the guy from Memento, and since we lost the hard drive that remembers pop culture references for us, we're pretty sure that guy turned out just fine--so everything's cool, homey!

Most Terrifying Locations On world

Every Abandoned place has a story behind it, their are number of location on earth which are considered as the most terrifying places where something has happened in the past. Today in Dheerazz's Blog we have brought such location which are haunted in their own way.
The stories behind may or may not be real but these areas are certainly considered as horrifying due to some reason. Let’s see which places have a name tag of haunted and terrifying places on earth.

Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery

Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery is a small, abandoned cemetery in Chicago. It is well-known for its haunted stories and ghost sightings. There are countless reports of glowing balls, apparitions, squeaks, moans, groans and unexplained noises. According to a legend black magic and occult rituals were practiced in and around the graveyard, hence it is believed that the ghostly powers are severe here.

Monte Cristo



Monte Cristo is a property located in the town of Junee, New South Wales. Built in 1885, this double story late Victorian manor is claimed to be Australia’s most haunted house, with reports of ghostly figures, strange lights, automatic turning on and off lights, invisible force fields, phantom sounds and animal mutilations. These are attributed to several tragic incidents in the property.

Bhangarh Fort



Bhangarh Fort is known for its ruins where nobody dares to go after dark. Archaeological Survey of India has put up a signboard here stating, “Entering Bhangarh before sunrise and after sunset is strictly prohibited.” It is regarded as the most haunted place in India and people who visit this place experience anxiety and restlessness. The legend says, a tantrik cursed the palace that everybody would die in the palace and their souls will stay there for centuries without rebirth.

The Screaming Bridge



At least 36 people were reported dead on or around the Maud Hughes Road Bridge. Ghostly figures, mists, and lights have been seen, as well as black hooded figures and a phantom train. According to the legend, a man and woman were held up on top of the bridge while travelling on a car. At first the man got out to get help to save the woman but she died, later the man also died. Another story says a woman threw her baby off the bridge and then hanged herself.

Changi Beach



People complain that they hear strange crying and screaming in the area. Sometimes, the heads of the Chinese dead bodies are seen flying and headless bodies walk around the beach. The scariest thing is that the ghosts leave blood stains. During nights people observed dug holes that appear as if they were used for burying bodies. Changi Beach in reality served as a killing ground as a part of the Sook Ching massacre by the Japanese during the World War II.

10 Most Famous Lost Cities of the World

A city becomes lost when it is abandoned by its inhabitants and left to decay. This can be the result of war, migration, or natural disaster, but in each case these cities can act as a sort of time capsule, leaving a civilization frozen in history and waiting to be discovered. While many of these cities have indeed been rediscovered, others have never been found and have taken on the status of legend.


Whether real or mythical, here I have compiled some of the most famous lost cities that have captured the imaginations of historians, archeologists, and adventurers.
Atlantis
Described by Plato as an advanced civilization and formidable naval power, Atlantis is said to have conquered much of Europe before sinking into the sea as the result of some kind of environmental disaster. While Plato’s story is seen by most as a work of fiction, his description of a massive civilization years ahead of its time technologically has captured the imaginations of countless writers.
The City of the Caesars


Also known as the Wandering City and the City of Patagonia, The City of the Caesars is a mythical city that is believed to have been located on the southernmost tip of South America. The city has never been found, and at this point it is considered more legend than anything.
Troy
Troy was a once-legendary city located in modern day Turkey. Troy was long considered by many to be the stuff of myth until it was first excavated in the 1870s. It was discovered that there were actually numerous cities on the site, which over the years had been built on top of one another.
The Lost City Of Z
Supposedly located deep in the jungles of Brazil, the lost city of Z was said to be an advanced civilization with a sophisticated network of bridges, roads, and temples. No evidence of its existence has ever been uncovered. In recent years, a city known as Kuhikugu was discovered in the Amazon Rainforest that showed evidence of sophisticated fortifications and engineering, leading many to speculate that it may be the source of the Z legend.
Petra
Arguably the most beautiful of all the cities on this list, Petra is located in Jordon. Its most striking feature is its exquisite stone architecture, which is carved out of the rocks of the surrounding mountains. It was explored in 18th century.
El Dorado


One of the most famous of all the legendary cities, El Dorado was a mythical empire supposedly found in the jungles of South America. The city was said to be led by a powerful king and hold untold riches of gold and jewels.
Memphis
Founded in 3,100 B.C., Memphis was the capital of ancient Egypt, and served as the civilization’s administrative center for hundreds of years before being abandoned with the rise of Thebes and Alexandria. Unfortunately, stones from the ruins had been appropriated to build nearby settlements, and many important parts of the site remain lost to historians.
Angkor

The Angkor region of Cambodia and its surroundings which big in size have since been recognized as the biggest pre-industrial city in the world, and its famed temple of Angkor Wat is commonly considered to be the largest religious monument in existence.
Pompeii




The Roman city of Pompeii was destroyed in AD 79 after the nearby volcano Vesuvius erupted and buried the entire community under 60 feet of ash and rock. The city was estimated to have had around 20,000 inhabitants at the time, and it was considered one of the premier vacation spots for the upper class of Roman society.
Machu Picchu

Isolated near the Urubamba Valley in Peru, the city was never found and plundered by conquistadors, and it was not until historian Hiram Bingham visited it in 1911. It was said to be a prison, but recent research suggests that it was probably a personal estate of the Inca emperor Pach

Blackberry maker to cut 2,000 jobs, splits COO jobBlackberry maker to cut 2,000 jobs, splits COO job

The job cuts amount to about 10% of the company's work force. The company said Monday it will notify affected employees this week. It expects to give more information on the layoffs when it reports fiscal second-quarter results on Sept. 15.
Its U.S. shares fell 41 cents, or 1.5%, to $27.50 in premarket trading.
RIM has been hurt by product delays and competition from Apple's iPhone and smartphones that run Google's Android operating system.
Although its Blackberrys have dominated the corporate smartphone market, RIM has not been able to translate this success to the broader consumer market, where the iPhone and Android phones reign. The launch of its PlayBook tablet computer, meanwhile, wasn't as successful as the company had hoped.
RIM reported a 10% drop in its fiscal first-quarter earnings in June and gave an outlook for the year that was well below what analysts had expected.
Also Monday, RIM said it is naming two executives to take on different parts of the chief operating officer role. COO Don Morrison went on medical leave in June.
Thorsten Heins is being named chief operating officer, product and sales. Jim Rowan will become COO, operations. Morrison is retiring after more than 10 years with the company.

MUSIC LEGENDS





Bob Marley
A legend whose political convictions shone as brightly as his music, Bob Marley spread the message of "one love" on an almost global level. With his vocal group The Wailers in tow, he embraced Jamaican reggae, ska and soul through the mid-Sixties, later moving towards the emerging rocksteady sound and a lyricism preoccupied with justice, independence and peace. It was to be a few years later, during collaborations with Lee Perry, that his sound reached its full maturity - and in 1975 he achieved his first UK chart hit with No Woman No Cry. After surviving an assassination attempt in 1976, a minor football injury initiated cancer which continued to spread throughout his body, claiming his life in 1981. He was just 36 years old.
Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix, like Paul McCartney, was a left-handed guitar player. During his painfully shortlived career, Hendrix blazed a trail through the Sixties music scene, leaving behind a legacy quite unlike any other guitarist. His innovative techniques and kaleidoscopic blend of rock, jazz and blues found their home with his ensemble The Jimi Hendrix Experience, whose first album - the psychedelic masterpiece Are You Experienced? - is still regarded as one of the greatest rock albums of all time. Sadly the group were to split after three years together, and although Hendrix went on to form the Band Of Gypsies, it was only a year later that he died whilst overdosing on barbiturates. He grabbed electric guitar by the neck and wrestled it into a new era. His feedback-heavy solos and hallucinogenic tunes helped define the psychedelic '60s. Hendrix was one of the featured performers at the Woodstock music festival. He's also one of a series of rock stars who famously died young; he was 27 when he suffocated after ingesting wine and sleeping pills in 1970.
Tupac Shakur
Born in jail to a former member of the Black Panther gang, rapper Tupac Shakur forged a prolific career in both music and cinema - releasing five albums and starring in five films before he was murdered in 1996, aged just 25. Tupac Shakur was a member of the hip-hop group Digital Underground, whose 1990 album featured the hits "Humpty Dance" and "Doowutchyalike." In 1992 he began his solo career. His debut album, the melodramatically entitled 2pacalypse Now, revealed a charismatic young artist at work, stirring controversy with its gun-toting violence, but offset by the sympathetic and thoughtful nature of his lyricism. Although his shooting remains a mystery, it is widely believed to be the result of an East Coast / West Coast rap feud sparked by Tupac's long-running battles with fellow rapper Notorious B.I.G.
Jim Morrison
During their brief but phenomenal period of fame, The Doors defined a sound which was a true melting-pot of influences - from psychedelic and avant garde rock, to improvised jazz with spoken word vocals - all thoroughly steeped in Morrison's colourful literacy and mysticism. When Light My Fire earnt the band a number one chart spot, accusations of commercialism and "selling out" dogged Morrison, and his rock'n'roll excesses notoriously reached Dionysian levels - he was the first musician ever to be arrested on stage. He died aged 27, apparently suffering a heart attack in the bath. His enduring legacy is acknowledged in Oliver Stone's biopic The Doors, and Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now immortalised one of his most controversial songs, The End.
Bob Dylan
Dylan is one of the towering figures of late 20th century popular music, responsible for such songs as "All Along The Watchtower" (made into a hit by Jimi Hendrix), "Like a Rolling Stone," "Tangled Up in Blue," "The Times They Are A-Changin'" and "Lay Lady Lay." Dylan has been recording and performing since 1962, mixing folk, country, blues and rock and sometimes startling his fans but almost always pleasing the critics. Although Dylan was an influential pop figure during the youth movement of the 1960s, his first number one hit, "Knocking on Heaven's Door," didn't come until 1973. During the '80s he toured extensively, and in the '90s his songs found a new audience and more acclaim from the music industry: in 1991 he was given a Lifetime Achievement Grammy; his 1997 album Time Out of Mind won three Grammys; and in 2001 Dylan won an Oscar for "Things Have Changed," from the movie Wonder Boys (2000).
Elvis Presley
Elvis has become even more famous in death as an icon of American music and TV-era celebrity. Presley hit the charts as a rock 'n roll rebel in the 1950s. His 9 September 1956 appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show (with Presley shown only from the waist up to hide his swivelling hips) turned him into one of the era's biggest stars. His many hits included "Jailhouse Rock," "Hound Dog" and "Blue Suede Shoes." He also appeared in dozens of lighthearted movies designed to let him cavort and play the guitar onscreen, including King Creole (1958, with Walter Matthau) and Blue Hawaii (1961, with Angela Lansbury). In the late 1960s, after a period of declining fame, he remade himself into "The King," a melodramatic icon known for his sequined karate-style jumpsuits and megaconcerts. The loyalty of his fans is famous; though he died in 1977, sightings of a supposedly surviving Elvis became a kind of international running joke. Elvis's Memphis home, Graceland, has become a permanent shrine to the singer.
