Welcome to the HowWeEnd FB page, which links directly to howweend.com, which is hosted by the Future Meter Project, which is a subsection of Advanced Research and Engineering Applications Laboratory 49, which is owned and operated by the U.S. We predict the future using The Future Meter, a sentient supercomputer that monitors the global news cycle 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When drought rava
ges the Midwest of the United States, or an Ebola outbreak spreads across the Congo, or an oil rig blows up in the Gulf of Mexico, The Future Meter analyzes and assesses this continuous stream of information in real time and adjusts accordingly the probable outcomes for each of the designated Seven Future Scenarios:
Star Trek
Soylent Green
Road Warrior
Twelve Monkeys
Armageddon/Waterworld
Matrix/Terminator
Independence Day
Why is each of the designated Seven Future Scenarios named after a motion picture or television program? Because movies and TV are popular forms of entertainment around the world and provide a fun and readily understandable reference guide that can quickly cut through cultural barriers. For example, the Star Trek Scenario represents mankind’s creation of a utopian society through revolutionary advancements in science and technology. The other designated Seven Future Scenarios are as follows:
Soylent Green = Global Famine
Road Warrior = Depletion of Fossil Fuels
Twelve Monkeys = Pandemic Disease
Armageddon/Waterworld = Giant Asteroid/Climate Change
Matrix/Terminator = War Against Machines
Independence Day = Alien Invasion
The Future Meter Project is the brainchild of Dr. Peter Han, who conceived of the idea back in 2006 while pursuing his studies at Princeton University. Today Dr. Han leads a small, dedicated team of scientists, researchers and engineers committed to providing timely information and expert analysis to better prepare you, the User, for whatever tomorrow may bring.
