Today we have already available UAVs, which will soon have the capacity of operating together in swarms, controlled from another nearby aircraft. We have UAVs, which can be flown by a pilot sitting at a desk more than 1000 miles away. We have trucks, which have virtual dashboards, which send back complete data to dispatchers and a similar version for aircraft, which allows one to fly the other.
If one UAV being flown by a human being sitting at a desk half way around the world can control a swarm of UAVs in a given location and those UAVs can give such information from a disassociated position of total awareness to those on the ground then we already have the capabilities of doing this from a more complex modeling standpoint. If we can send this information directly into a human mounted optical device, with complete GPS-GIS data then we are getting closer, when we can have 360 degree sight, along with infrared, heat signature, chemical composure, frequency variation and molecular makeup and that device interfaces with the brain and human function, thrusting the efficiencies of motion and control into new realms, what can be done effortlessly would have been though of as God-Like only years the prior. We need to design a completely tele-robotic system which works at the speed of thought and is connected to the enhanced human brain for complete 5D total situational awareness using all the current technologies available.

We need a better vision system for the battlespace; an augmented reality 360-degree 3D device would solve many problems. This device could be very useful in wartime while flying a helicopter and much has been studied and many innovations have occurred with HUD in aviation. Whereas 360-degree informational awareness is of value, even more valuable would be a disassociated informational awareness.
If you study Zen and the masters of that level of thought and awareness, one could have complete awareness of 200 meters on any side of a road during ones travels, this of course would be of value if you were walking thru a jungle with lions and tigers which were hungry. It would be equally important to you if you were in heavy traffic on the freeway, crossing an intersection, walking down a dark alley in an inner city, doing patrols in Baghdad or playing a sport. One might liken it to being in the zone. And with new infrared devices, sonar, heat sensors, it is possible to have all this and more thru devices, which interact, interpret and deliver the data to the brain for the user.

Animation of personified reality is intriguing, memorable and interesting as well. Perhaps we ought to remember this when letting kids watch cartoons of attacking counter parts? Or maybe this is a good way to help them better understand the Machiavellian characteristics of the species before they enter the real world, where everything is not so warm and fuzzy.
Now then our current spectrum of view in the human eye is somewhat limited by Nature as we cannot see all the different bands of the spectrum. For instance we cannot see microwaves, sound waves, ELF, etc. We can see certain bands of natural light, often we can sense them or feel a buzz in our ears or heads, but we cannot see them. If we change the eye-brain devices to see the waves of all spectrums we maybe quite surprised at all this and it would surely reshape our perception of the world in 3D. If we could see all bands of light, sound, gravity, time, we would see endless colors and streams criss-crossing around us in a sea of light, waves and color. Since our current perception of the world is so different from such a reality, we may find ourselves somewhat uneasy as to the prospect. We might if we could see all this find ourselves visually over loaded as well.

Many who admire the excellent design of Mother Nature and the gift of vision and the enhancements thru evolution wonder; Why Can’t Our Brain Process What We See Faster? A paper by G. Bugmann and J. G. Taylor suggests that retinal jitter is an issue and could be some of the reason for the delay in the process time, thus by eliminating the extraneous visual input data into the brain the retina would not attempt to over define the object, because it is not necessary, once the object is seen, in a lesser definition, it has been registered and the eye simply moves on.

Some skeptics of the geology text books we had in school theorize that the Earth maybe hollow. They say; the Earth is probably hollow and since it has had 5.5 billion years to cool down, it probably is not hot any longer in the center and that the effect of gravity has loosened up the center and pulled it outward along with the centripetal force of the Earth’s rotation. If it is hollow, what is inside? Is it a vacuum, void of air or does it have it’s own atmosphere of gas? What type of gas. Interesting if you are referring to 22% oxygen we have in our atmosphere, if this is your question; yes it is void of what we consider air. You most likely could not breath it or could you? But just because humans cannot breath it does not mean another form of life could.
