The Social Networking Club

 Social networking has created a decline in social behavior and an increase in depression and anxiety among preteens, teens, and young adults.

I think we should create spaces where like minded individuals can get together and engage socially. The phones and tablets go into a storage area when people enter this space and they get them back again afterwards. What do people do there?

Boardgames, dances, play musical instruments, learn crafting, sewing, quilting, knitting, book club, reading, discuss books, chess, favorite authors, business connections, exercise, cooking, home repair, gardening.

Multiple Universe Theory (not the quantum one)

This is a proposal for an alternative theory for the formation of the universe.  We know that the universe seems to have begun around 14 bya with what is known as the big bang.  Consider a black hole where gravity is so intense that the escape velocity of the gravity well exceeds the speed of light.  This creates a singularity event where only quantum processes can remove matter from the black hole.  In a way this may be like an isolated universe.  Now suppose there is a super universe that has a black hole.  A black hole forms in that universe and it creates our universe.  So our entire universe could be one of many black holes in this other universe.  Then there could DC be a superduperuniverse above that one and so on and so on.  Now maybe being inside a black hole is not really like a universe.  There could still be some type of event in the super universe that could result in sub universe formation.  What would the properties of this super universe be like? And what type of singularity like event could result in a universe like ours being created.  Would it be possible to detect the super universe or one of the sub other sub universes.  Is it possible ed to construct a physics theory that would support this.  Maybe the physical constants of the universe, such as the speed of light, or the gravitation constant, would be different in other universes.  Is it possible to create abstract universes to conduct thought experiments to verify this.

Unfriend

Sometimes you just wish you could unfriend someone again.

Inductive Solar Charger

Is it a solar inductive charger or an inductive solar charger?

Anyway, this device would have a solar panel and if you set a device on it, it will charge it inductively.  Most of the time the device sites around the house soaking up solar power.  When a device is detected on it, it turns on the inductor to charger inductively.

Cell Phone Walkie Talkie

This is not as ridiculous as it sounds.  There would be a lot of advantages to having walkie talkie capabilities in your cell phone especially in something like a track phone.  For one thing you can set up a communication channel when you are travelling with a group in different cars without having to call everyone individually.  I have to give credit for this one to my friend Kurt.

3D Printed Circuits

How about a device that will produce integrated circuits.  Like a 3D printer except you get a packaged chip out when it is done.

Alternate Physics Systems

Write a physics simulator to modify the physical constants of the universe.  What if the speed of light were only 100 mph or even 10 mph?  You would start getting relativistic effects when you went for a run or a bike ride.  What would happen if the charge on the electron were slightly different, or if positive and negative charges were unequal or gravity were much larger.  A simulator could be written where someone could experiment with universal physical constants and see what happens to the universe.
