A decision that you might never know about.

or it could be as simple as someone waking up and thinking ‘that seems like a good idea’

At Science Prophet, we want to bring these decisions out from behind closed doors...

where they can be analysed and discussed...

the magazine the levelsthe network

Phase I

Tuesday, 30 July 13

Exposing the latest developments in cutting edge science & technology and exploring how these things could impact our lives.

Phase I

the magazine

Using research from top academics, Science Prophet will produce accessible articles that seek to find the difficult questions people don’t always think to ask.

These articles will suggest possible futures that technologies could steer us towards, encouraging thought and discussion amongst readers.

Building a community to better decide the future.

Phase I

the network

Science Prophet will be providing social network functions in order to connect likeminded individuals who wish to engage in conversation and projects.

Members will be able to interact with each other and create an online persona dedicated to deciding the future.

Tuesday, 30 July 13

Encouraging and gauging the experience and knowledge of community members.

Phase I

the levels

Inspired by the ‘experience points’ in role playing games, Science Prophet will be charting your progression as a community member using SP Levels. Your SP Level will increase as you read articles, suggest topics, get published on the site etc.

SP Levels allow you to earn the respect of your peers, so they know where to go for answers.

Members who ‘level up’ will unlock new features, take part in discussions with prominent academics and get invited to events.

Tuesday, 30 July 13

Phase II

the forumsNext generation forums servicing in depth discussion around topics sparked by the articles on the site.

The forums will allow intellectual debates to take place about the possible impacts of science on society. They will give a voice to everyone, allowing a wider scope of opinion to be brought to a subject so that we might better decide the right future for humanity.

Using natural language processing, Science Prophet will be able to connect topics quicker and easier, whilst filtering out the spam from the streams of thought.

Tuesday, 30 July 13

Phase II

interactive LecturesGuest speakers hired to lead discussions on the future of science and society.

Science Prophet will be inviting academics and researchers to come online and give live presentations to the community on a subject of their choosing.

Following this, members of Science Prophet will be able to ask questions and join a discussion, voicing their opinions and challenging the speaker in order to bring about a higher plain of discussion.

Phase II

S/P timeA unique operational time system in order to further the connectivity of users.

As Science Prophet will be a global network, we will be switching to a unique time system in order to integrate time zones and engage different cultures in thoughtful discussion

S/P time will be a dynamic time model; a slipping clock, which will gradually alter against standard times. The suggested Science Prophet ‘peak times’ will then be a fair standard for all countries, enabling a truer global connection.

eventsGlobal events that bring the best and brightest together.

In order to tighten our global network and bring a more pragmatic dynamic to our work, we’ll be hosting regular events that allow our community to come together.

These events will range from lecture series, technological unveilings, research pitches and academic discussions. Through these events, we will be able to further push valuable projects and strengthen the community.

Tuesday, 30 July 13

Phase III

collective intelligenceand other modelsThe implementation of social models within the community.

Through our discussions, we are hoping to form new social models and technologies that could better service society.

In order to test the functionality of these, we’ll be trialling them online amongst the community. Collective intelligence models, new political structures and alternative funding processes are the initial trials to be tested on the site.

Tuesday, 30 July 13

Phase III

project fundingThe funding and aiding of projects.

As the community develops, Science Prophet will be encouraging people to present their own research and development projects.

Science Prophet will then be facilitating the development of these projects. Where possible financial, intellectual and collaborative aid will be given to projects the community decides are worthy.
