Thoughts on Teleportation

At the suggestion of Dr. Michio Kaku, I would start out with an attempt to teleport something small. The first step would be to transport the essence of a solid object, not an image, like an examinable Death Star in Star Wars, except that one could do something like put their hand in the beam, and viola a temporary copy object would be created, at the receiving end.

I would expect to teleport using direction, essentially a vector that disappears in the same trajectory.  Picture teleportation as sending stuff through the internet. Remember the old days of zip files? The object would be packed as some sort of a zip file, and then beamed to a specific part of creation, specifically a receptor, probably a large magnet that would shatter the information, a fragile file, back into constructing itself in the desired form, a more robust file, such as a living being.

Maybe have an electrical interface on the teleportee's hand while inside of a scanning machine to facilitate transport or something and when they want to be teleported they just plug into a computer and then as packed molecules they go to the destination set for travel through the internet, and via magnet the computer intelligently unpacks them as if they were a zipped file.

Teleportation via hardwiring would almost certainly come before beaming anything from one place to a different place.

As I see it, we are data, and by that I mean that we are as a puzzle, so even the soul would somehow have to be coded for, meaning coding for variability. In fact, most of the body would need to have some variability coded for beyond what is already set in place by DNA. So to travel we would have to morph into a more compact puzzle for transit (right now to my knowledge we are only able to send electrons to code for that puzzle), and don't forget, we are 3 or more dimensional puzzles. For instance DNA carries much of the information by which we are constructed, and that at some point in the future, we might be able to transmit our entire body and genetic code for 3d unpackaging.

It would be a world where instead telephoning people, or using the 2d internet, we could actually travel to meet up with people with minimal need for traditional travel. For example, we wouldn't need airplanes.

Right now the idea of teleporting a human is absurd. However, we might be able to teleport something small, such as a strand of DNA. And, then a cell. It would be a long way to the trillion or so cells that humans have, but I think if we are able to transport 1 cell, that would be one of the greatest steps. Yet, in my lifetime we went from bytes, to kilobytes, to megabytes. Last time I checked, terabyte drives were still available. I think we could do it. Given this rapid expansion that has occurred in only a few years.

Also, this idea presents the potential for profit, such as reliability of transit.

Computer Teaches Musical Improv

All the best bands, bands of all kinds and music embrace improvisation in some form, from Miles Davis to Led Zeppelin to jam bands. Visit my Pandora.com site and compare the how live albums sound compare to studio albums. http://www.pandora.com/profile/craig.hamilton.newletters

I have observed, Rock Smith, a computer program, that teaches players how to copy exactly certain songs note for note. I suggest a musical program that teaches students to improvise on electronic instruments, like training wheels for a bike.

For instance, if you wanted to learn a jazz standard, such as one from the Real Book, there could be one aspect that could recognize mild scalar variations in play for the head of the song. A change in a note here or there in the head would improve one’s score.

Similarly, there could also be many ways for the computer to gauge features such as soloing, and accompaniment, other than the head.


1.  Chording

2.  Rhythmic syncopation

3.  Pentatonic scales

4.  Arpeggios

5.  Modal soloing

6.  Key changes

7.  Lack of originality penalty

8.  Chromatic movements

9.  Combos that include kinds 1 through 8

The potentials are incredibly vast.  There is more than this.  Maybe another program might teach musical theory to practice before actually playing an improvised note.

In order for the computer to play along with the gamester, software engineers and musicians could piece together semi-original desired song parts, essentially jazz karaoke, that the computer could arrange for the purpose of algorithm play along, meaning that the computer would play semi-original music that would fit nicely with the musicians play. For instance, a computer could piece together perhaps 20, maybe 100, different versions of a song on the fly.

Club Intimacy: DJ Heart Synchrony Invention

This invention uses wireless technology, such as WiFi, wristbands (disposable) that take the pulse of their bearer, and computer DJ technology which will one day hopefully be invented that can combine pulse data in various ways to music at a dance club.

Upon entering the club, folks would get a wristband heart pulse monitor that would transfer pulse data especially when folks are dancing in order to better synchronize it with other folks pulses and the beats of the club. The computer would be constantly collecting pulse date, specifically via the wrist, which would then transmit that data to a computer for analysis with room for DJ input.

The idea is based upon one of the theories as to why people hold hands, etc, and that is that folks feel connected when holding hands because it causes their pulses to synchronize. At the club one could both turn the pulses of the folks in the club into music, and/or adjust music selected by the DJ to the pulse rates of folks in order to cause pulse synchrony, bringing about an intimate romantic feeling to the people at the club.

Also, pulses could be used in multiples. For instance if one person had a pulse of roughly 100 beats per minute, another person had a roughly of 80, and still another person had a pulse of 120 (maybe they were dancing up a storm), because these numbers are all divisible by 20, 10, 5, etc, aspects of the music could incorporate pulse multiples into beats per minute multiples.

A part of the idea is that the beat of the music is already going to be playing at rhythms relative to the heart (because it is loud music), but instead of relying completely on the DJ, the computer could adjust the music, in order to help a tech savvy DJ, making for what would hopefully be a better party.

This invention was essentially blogged back in 6/3/2012 – The basic ideas were there, but it was psychotic, and needed a redo.

Invention: Middle of Song Guitar Play Causes Automatic Computer Tuning

This is an invention of an auto-tuning guitar that tunes while playing music.

This invention would include the use of a small computer on the guitar to constantly tune itself through note recognition, specifically through small or micro adjustments, similar to the microadjustments of a Floyd Rose locking tremolo.

The computer could be programmed to the note you want your string to be tuned to, but it could also be programed to tune the guitar to any notes.

For instance, it could recognize a G note on the fattest string tuned to E and then tune the guitar such that the string tuned to E would adjust to make for perfect tuning of the G note on the fattest string, E.

This would require battery power in order to power the guitar's computer.

The invention would crank gears preferably on the guitar body keeping the guitar constantly in tune while you play. Thus, the guitar would constantly be tuning while you are playing a song.

It is similar to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuhpngRgLEI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Gibson auto tuning guitar

Differently from the Gibson design that tunes it before play, my design would constantly tune the guitar during play.

My invention would constantly be adjusting to the notes being played, and it would be programmed to ignore the bending of notes, either through standard bends, but especially during whammy bar usage.

Whammy bars can be quite troublesome to audiophiles, and this would be a way to practically eliminate this problem.

The idea is that through playing sometimes a string can be off a quarter of a note, or even a tenth of a note, but this would no long present a problem because it would be corrected for during play of the song.

Eric Dolan Ahhhhh....good for heavy whammy bar use.

Craig Hamilton Yup! Whammy bar use was primarily what I was thinking of. Never worry again about your guitar going out of tune while using the whammy (in the middle of a song)

For example, if you fret a note and didn't bend it. The gears could adjust so that the precise note was hit, such that a guitar essentially couldn't fall out of tune during a song.

If you hit a B flat, the guitar could detect that it was slightly off and tune that note say with respect to the A string if you played a B flat.


Of course, this invention could also include alternate tunings.
