Ideas from Leeds #1

A TV series or film(s) that are a cross between Mighty Boosch and Doctor Who. Summary plot - I wake up in total darkness (origin of existence?), then there are primitive drawings and time steps into successive ages of art and culture. This would be done in different styles reflecting ages of art and culture, e.g. Dali, impressionists, CGI art etc. Exploring meaning of life (in the Monty Python sense). Introduce other characters and have fun together.

Video cameras with full edit suites - may already exist but it would be nice to have all the film-making facilities on tap on a portable device. Even cooler if they are fitted with those new ultra thin fold out screen panels.

I hover over the event horizon(s) of a black hole (one of each of the three types) and drop a periscope video camera into the event horizon. Would the video be viewable through the substance of the connecting rod or not (even though the camera is not retrievable)?

Also, is the quantum foam close to a singularity of a black hole or at the start of the universe similar to the quantum processes inside the brain such that if the mind focusses on them, as in a drug experience, a simulacrum of this experience could be attained? Would this be provable with a theory of quantum gravity as the micro-processes inside the brain would be quantum affected on the atomic and molecular scales?

New Term - "Cyber Tatting" meaning using the net or online communities to obtain items free that still work and would otherwise go to waste in the bin. For example, arranging to collect a TV or printer from someone who has advertised them on the Web (e.g. freecycle)
