Cheetahs Get Workout At Horse Racing Track

zombieater says...

It's not ideal, but keep in mind that many zoos these days take part in essential breeding programs that help maintain healthy wild populations. Cheetahs are one of the best examples where zoological breeding programs are beneficial because cheetahs are very inbred in the wild and the health of many wild populations suffer greatly because of it.

Right, you've had your fun, now back in your crappy little enclosure.

Sorry, can't say this makes me even slightly happy.

In Houston, we let cheetahs play down to the horse track on off days....You think you get to see that at Saratoga or the Aquaduct NYC?? ...

Wonder what would happen if they let cheetahs out at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, CA?? The cats might just think they'd been taken back to the Plateau continent!

Michio Kaku: Can Nanotechnology Create Utopia?

TheFreak says...

Oh please, this is just bad science. It's barely even worth cheap sci-fi. Where do you get the energy to run the replicator, eh? Does entropy ring a bell? Even without replicators humans are draining the earth of it's energetic resources (including the "sustainable" ones)...
Nice philosophical mindgame, like all utopias for that matter, but nowhere near hard science.
philosophy


Our world is full of achievements that were once beyond the ability of hard science.
How can humans possibly communicate over hundrends of miles? We're already yelling as loud as we can.
How can we possibly run faster than cheetahs? Our legs can't move any faster!
How can I kill Og standing all the way over there? Rock not throw farther!!!

Ultimately, all life shares one common goal; the quest for energy. From single cell creatures harvesting light, heat or chemical reactions to survive...all the way to modern humans with their agriculture, technology and complex social structures; the journey of evolution has been the race for more efficient means of acquiring and managing energy.
Our economies are elaborate means of trading energy.
Our societies organized to maximize the collection of energy.
Our governments created to ensure equitable distribution or energy.

The result of millenia of advancement is that we now expend much less energy to acquire a larger return of energy. And all that excess energy creates the complex world we live in.

But there is the potential, in the future, for technological advancements in science that will create a massive paradigm shift. There is the potential for accessible energy to become inexhaustable. And when the cost, in terms of human effort, of energy approaches Zero....everything changes.

Will the end of human need result in a utopia?
LOL...never. Because we'll always have griefers.
