The idea of an underwater utopia would be highly attractive, albiet very unconventional. Considering the implications that would occur should technical mishaps occur, I shudder to think of the consequences.

Though, I am concerned about the reactions towards lack of sunlight. I for one dislike being cooped up for so long with no exposure to the sun. Now how would we combat said problem given that we were to build underground/underwater living quarters.

QUOTE(BillySteel @ Nov 15 2009, 01:33 PM) Floating cities would be a more viable option before technology allows us to live in air..... Generating resources are hardly the matter. The problem lies with humans coping with the change in surroundings. Try sitting in the dark for a week and see how you react to sunlight after said week.Living in both underwater and and at altitudes posses pressure problem and various other problems like energy resources...  |

QUOTE(ZanoCanez @ Nov 16 2009, 10:31 PM) In my opinion,floating cities(on water,not air) are indeed much easier to realize then floating or underwater cities.Cloud cities would need a constant source of energy.Not to mention the hazards of such cities.One wrong calculation and you're done. How would said propulsion system run and be mantained? Humans aren't fish and we aren't supposed to live underwater.Complications,maybe even death could occur unless humans could construct a total replica of the outside world. Floating cities would probably be the best choice right now,considering our current technology.Even untrained people could live on top if something catastrophic like 2012 happens.Provided that you don't have sea sickness   I don't think we're that capable yet? |

QUOTE(ZanoCanez @ Nov 18 2009, 10:05 PM) Basically its like living on a huge ship,right? OH. Floating on water.. I don't see the need for giant floating cities to move around a lot. Maybe they would just anchor down at a safe spot and use smaller ships to transport necessities. I was thinking Star Wars-esque floating in the sky cities lul. |
