Impossible inventions
 
I've decided to make a game where the player is a brilliant scientist and is trying to create various inventions. These inventions should be considered "impossible" for humanity right now. So far I've came up with


-Antimatter Rocket

-Space Elevator

-Fusion Reactor

-Dyson Sphere

-Quantum Computer

-Time Dilation Device

-Wormhole Generator

-Teleporter

-Faster than Light Drive

-Hard Hologram

I have 10 ideas but I'd like to start out with 20. Does anybody have ideas for 10 future inventions that are far beyond human creation? Jetpack and Laser weapon are not good examples because we technically can make them, we just haven't mass produced them yet. I'm looking for 10 truly futuristic ideas that are "impossible"

By the same argument, we can make quantum computers now.

But anyway ...

Deflector screens

Tractor/repulsor beams

Stealth in space

Antigravity

Rectionless thrusters

Perpetual motion

True love

Okay, maybe not that last one ...

Yeah, it's gotten pretty weird. Why not just tell us what you actually want to know?

If all you are looking for is a big list of names, there are several already out there on the web. Here's one: http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/ctnlistalpha.asp

Ha Ha. That's pretty clever lol. Yeah I have OCD and I'm going to up my medication. I just can't control myself. I'm obsessed with future technologies and enough is never enough. I'll stop though. I promise
