Here is a series of tweets by Neil deGrasse Tyson on 21st October 2015, known as the Back To The Future Day to the fans of the Back To The Future franchise. In the film Back To The Future II, on October 26th 1985, the protagonists time-travel to 21st October 2015. So, admittedly, the future is past as I write this blog post. In his first tweet Neil deGrasse Tyson writes
He goes on checking the things that we have achieved, and the things we haven't.
On thumbprints:
On video chat:
On pocket digital cameras:
On precision rainforcasting:
On drone-walked dogs:
On multiple home fax machine:
On double necktie:
On inefficient post offices:
On home fusion reactors:
On flying cars:
On lawyers:
On hoverboards:
On Cubs:
Hope the fans would like this commentary on the present as envisaged thirty years earlier in a science fiction film by Neil deGrasse Tyson.
