Not too sure if this is the right place for the post but couldn't think of anywhere else.

Now if you could petition for a Sci-Fi related project what would it be?

Agreed, 4 hours a day travelling. Judging by the fact the train i get is almost full when i get on it is worse for many.


Still needs no new tech to solve. Home working would do that.
Teleporters would be great but it would depend on who would operate the service, the current transport goliaths don't really have a great history. Airlines normally have your luggage arriving later than yourself, and the various post services keep losing your parcels.

In the event of Teleporters would Pistonheads become Portalheads ??

Holodeck

or Hoverboards.....although they are supposed to be on sale next year anyhow, so might be a wasted request.
Are you sure it was an ad for a store and not Back to the Future II.

Holodeck would be cool, and would pretty much destroy prostitution rings around the globe overnight. Although it might be trumped with the Kill the MiL app.

Are we only allowed to petition for things that aren't physically possible? frown
Possible or not, only criteria is that it's still to be invented, i.e. you would petition for its creation.

My plan would be to use a centrifugal/petal force concentrator. When that exceeds gravity, up she rises!
I have no idea if that's real or from an episode or Star Trek. sounds cool though. Does it make pretty lights or cool sounds.
