Hunched Backs, Thick Skulls and Small Brains May Be the Future Look of Humanity

Humanity is clearly devolving. Cro-Magnon man was more intelligent than modern man, so it's not surprising that our physical characteristics may devolve as well.

You may think that tech companies care more about profits than about the health of their customers or the people who live near their products or factories – and in most cases you’d probably be right. A telecommunications provider in Los Angeles seems to be trying to do the right thing with its new study that predicts what humans will look like in in the near future if we continue down the current handheld communications path. Are you ready for hunched backs, thick skulls, double eyelids and smaller brains (that one sounds like a given)? Read more

Top 10 Predictions From Edgar Cayce

Edgar Cayce was the most documented psychic in history, and his track record was impressive. These are his top ten predictions.

Edgar Cayce was a psychic who could allegedly make predictions of future events and answer questions while he was in a hypnotic trance. Not all of his predictions came true, but most of them did and were fairly accurate. Some of the readings he gave were about medical help, Atlantis, and predictions of future events. Cayce was a devout Christian and also founded the Association for Research and Enlightenment. Many of his predictions have proven to be accurate and some others have not occurred yet. Here are 10 of his predictions, in no particular order. Read more

Top Psychics Give Predictions for 2014

What's going to happen in the coming year? Top psychics give predictions for 2014.

The U-Predict Blogtalk radio show is not like other tarot shows on the Internet. We do not read for callers, we read for society in general. Some listeners may not enjoy the fact that some weeks we end up talking about politics. However, the political discussions are a part of the show because politics at every level (family, office, and government) affect people’s lives on a daily basis. Because of the dysfunction currently in Washington DC, there was no way that you could have a prediction show for next year without politics being a large part of it. Because of the nature of U-Predict sometimes there is no way of proving our accuracy with actual events. However, in the last three days the predictions made by the reading room for 2014 have already started to unfold. Read more

20 Top Predictions for Life 100 years from Now

Although predictions about the future are fun to read, their record for accuracy is generally pretty poor.

Last week we asked readers for their predictions of life in 100 years time. Inspired by ten 100-year predictions made by American civil engineer John Elfreth Watkins in 1900, many of you wrote in with your vision of the world in 2112.

Many of the "strange, almost impossible" predictions made by Watkins came true. Here is what futurologists Ian Pearson (IP) and Patrick Tucker (PT) think of your ideas.

1. Oceans will be extensively farmed and not just for fish (Jim 300)
IP: Likelihood 10/10. We will need to feed 10 billion people and nature can't keep up with demand, so we will need much more ocean farming for fish. But algae farming is also on the way for renewable energy, and maybe even for growth of feedstock (raw materials) or resource extraction via GM seaweed or algae.

PT: Good chance. According to Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at the Nasa Langley Research Center, saltwater algae that's been genetically modified to absorb more nitrogen from the air than conventional algae could free up to 68% of the fresh water that is now tied up in conventional agriculture. This water could go to thirsty populations. Read more
