Futurism: Understanding the future can bring clarity to your life now. For example, understanding that we have a new North Star every 13,000 years is interesting, and the fact that we’ll have 100% all new constellations within just one million years helps you to see that astrology is pure junk science, speculative and irrational. The more you know, the better you can live a fulfilling life filled with truth.

“Fingers crossed for my optimistic version of the future! The highest priority key to it? Educating the next generation to take over.” –Michael Alan Prestwood 

These potential future predictions are some of the more interesting predictions. Each one indicates verified or speculative and an Idea of Ideas indicator on empirical, rational, or irrational. Sometimes qualifiers are added, as in “Well Verified” or “Somewhat Speculative,” etc.

Full AI Doctor
A full AI doctor will act like your primary care doctor and for many, replace them. They will review your history, ask questions, spot patterns, and refer you to specialists better than their human counterparts. Today’s AI health tools are not there yet, but they are already becoming the medical integrators that organize records, prepare visits, and help coordinate care.

Black Dwarf Sun
Black Dwarf Sun
Brown dwarfs (also called failed stars) are substellar objects that are not massive enough to sustain nuclear fusion of ordinary hydrogen into helium in their cores, unlike a main-sequence star. Instead, they have a mass between the most massive gas giant planets and the least massive stars, approximately 13 to 80 times that of Jupiter. However, they can fuse deuterium and the most massive ones (> 65 MJ) can fuse lithium. Astronomers classify self-luminous objects by spectral class, a distinction intimately tied to the surface temperature, and brown dwarfs occupy types M, L, T, and Y. As brown dwarfs do not undergo stable hydrogen fusion, they cool down over time, progressively passing through later spectral types as they age. Despite their name, to the naked eye, brown dwarfs would appear in different colors depending on their temperature. The warmest ones are possibly orange or red, while cooler brown dwarfs would likely appear magenta or black to the human eye. Brown dwarfs may be fully convective, with no layers or chemical differentiation by depth. As brown dwarfs have relatively low surface temperatures, they are not very bright at visible wavelengths, emitting most of their light in the infrared. However, with the advent of more capable infrared detecting devices, thousands of brown dwarfs have been identified. The nearest known brown dwarfs are located in the Luhman 16 system, a binary of L- and T-type brown dwarfs about 6.5 light-years from the Sun. Luhman 16 is the third closest system to the Sun after Alpha Centauri and Barnard's Star. Image created by Pablo Carlos Budassi in 2023 (pablocarlosbudassi.com)
