23rd century money will be made of different shades of superballs. The higher it bounces, the more it is worth. I'd love to see people chasing their money all over the town.

It simply has to be dodecahedrons.

In the form of solar energy. You charge up people's barter-torches for consumer goods.

Of course, by this token Greenland would have a mad boom-bust economy.

There will be no physical money. Our wages will be automatically downloaded to our brains. We will be able to buy things via the power of telepathy. I shall miss physical money in the 23rd century. The pop group Cud were from the 23rd century, as highlighted in their 'hit' single "got a head full of loose change, because I'm a rich and strange". Though the drawback of telepathic money is that everyone knows how much money you have, which is why people with highly advanced telepathetic minds will become the bankers of the 23rd century, they will be able to sheild the minds of their clients from unwanted 3rd eyes. They could also become super criminals. Man, the 23rd C sucks! :(

There may be no world for our childrens children in the 23rd century unless we all pull together and sing Mull of Kintyre or something.

Strangely, I was going to say the same thing Jel said, so it must be a Jungian unconcscious thing.

H2O droplets. I think Mad Max made an impression on me.

It will be in the form of pop star doll/action figure things. The more records sold, the more they're worth.

Bill, Friday, 4 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

That's not going to happen.

BUCKYBALLS!

This disturbs me, largely because there was a guy in my graduating high school class who called himself Bucky.

Hypercubes.

Michael Daddino, Friday, 4 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

But it has to happen, imagine the worth of Julian Casablancas if they start manufacturing Strokes dolls!

Complex organic compounds, which will be tested by getting thrown on a petri dish with testing compound. All bio-labs able to produce them will be registered as bio-terrorist/hazard threats anyway, so forging is near impossible.

By the way mark, I'm expecting a reply on the cale email I sent.

in star trek four kirk says they don't use money in the 23rd century.

keith, Friday, 4 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

What do they use?

Tracer Hand, Friday, 4 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

See above, I suppose.

How many dimensions do electrons have?
