Looking to the future

After hearing just a peep or two while being hacked to bits with a 'lightsaber' about our robot overlords and wars over water, I thought that the latter parts of this article might be of interest. Warning: The early sections of experiments are all about medical atrocities, but the later research regarding AI and physics inevitabilities is what I thought y'all might be interested in. The future holds many things, but one does wonder why certain avenues are being pursued. Why are we even looking for the Hicks Boson particle?

How old do you want to be?

The original article about this guy, the one which describes the way he can drink pint after pint while eating only 2 cheese cubes in 12 hours and theorizing the whole time, is currently unavailable online. Nonetheless....how long are we all really going to want to live, and will we all have to have Rip Van Winkle beards?
