Science Fiction Inventions That Could Make The Future Very Interesting

By Joe Burgett - October 11, 2019

5. Teleportation

Chances We’ll See It: Medium

Teleportation is one of those science fiction inventions we all really want to come to pass. The question is, how can it happen without killing us? Decades ago, it was rumored that famous inventor Nikola Tesla did find out a possible way to teleport objects. Though it was over a short distance, it was at least possible. Of course, this is still baked in rumor to this day.

Is teleportation possible? Somewhat. The way it has to be done is by breaking down every single atom and molecule and sending them to another place. Everything has to reform back to the state they were in before the teleportation. Scientists claim although difficult, it may be possible one day.

4. Iron Man Suit

Chances We’ll See It: This Technically Already Exists

It may be a shock to people, but the infamous Iron Man suit is actually possible to make in real life. As a result, the U.S. Armed Forces use something quite similar to it today. They call their version of this the “HULC exoskeleton.”

It offers extra protection, super strength, and allows people to bend over like normal and even squat. In fact, Mythbusters star Adam Savage built his own Iron Man suit in June of 2019. Science fiction inventions like that of the Iron Man suit were always going to be possible with access to the right technology.

3. Stark Trek Holodeck

Chances We’ll See It: High

The Star Trek Holodeck is really impressive but back when it was used for the first time, technology had not caught up to make anything like this possible. Today, we have seen various science fiction inventions that are similar to real life.

From the invention of 3D to use in the mainstream to both Virtual and Augmented Reality. We have even had success with making holograms you can see without any special eyewear. That said, we’re literally all around what the holodeck happens to be. Therefore, we’re likely not too far off when it comes to making something just like it.

2. Genetic Engineering

Chances We’ll See It: This Technically Exists Already

When you think about genetic engineering, people think of something like Halo or Captain America where someone is injected with something to make them a super-soldier. However, that part of genetic engineering is not exactly possible. At least how it’s described.

The kind that we can do right now involves children before they are born. Have a heart problem that runs in your family? We can actually help to track this down in the DNA of sperm and eggs and remove what might cause it. While we’re in the early stages of genetic engineering like this, it has already proven to work. We’re likely going to be even further with it in ten years.

1. Time Travel

Chances We’ll See It: Low to High (depending on the version)

Time Travel might be the biggest of all science fiction inventions that people want to see. The issue with this is that doing the type of time travel you see in films is likely never going to happen. However, we already have a form of time travel where we can go further in time. Sadly, we do not have anything where we can go back yet.

Space-Time offers us the ability to leave Earth and go into a place like Space as well as other planets where time differs. In fact, two twins were studied where one went into space while another stayed on Earth. The “space twin” came back to Earth looking younger than his Earth-staying twin. Time moved the same but the twin, as far as his body is concerned, went forward in time without aging like his brother to do so. This proved that technical time travel using Space-Time is possible.
