Program Description
In this episode of NOVA scienceNOW, come face to face with social robots that understand human feelings, carry on conversations, even make jokes. Then travel to Haiti, where geologists investigate the 2010 earthquake not long after it struck for clues to how to better forecast future quakes. Afterwards, join engineers at General Motors who are testing tiny, two-wheeled cars called EN-Vs, which one day might drive themselves through city streets. Learn about proposals for making our outdated electric grid "smart." And meet Nebraska native Jay Keasling, a pioneer in synthetic biology who shares his work on developing "designer" microbes that produce biofuels and medicines.
If we knew the big one was going to happen at a given time and place what would we do?
Well if we can not know when the earth will move why not make the earth move?
Humans have been burning off dangerous potential NRG in the form of underbrush and fire fuel around out settlements./ Could we release the potential NRG in major faults in a control manner and benefit from the removal of the element of surprise and uncertainty?
Yea but most of the time when Humanity manipulates Nature there are unforeseen consequences. A significant number of those consequences are dire.
