Crackpot predictions

- A perpetual motion machine of the second kind can be built
- Faster-than-light communication is possible
- Strong AI can and will be created. 21st century? Really wanna see it happen in my lifetime, but seeing how so many predictions in the middle of 20th century proved to be vastly optimistic, it could take another couple of centuries.

Some random ideas (haven't given much thought to it really):
- thermonuclear energy is finally harnessed (21st century)
- practical electric cars are built and largely replace ICE cars (20-50 years)
- an operating system built on open standards gets a major share of the desktop market
