Are we nearly at forcefields? I imagine it might be quite nice to sit atop a double decker bus and instead of glass it's just forcefields. Open to the elements but protected from wayward branches or the intersecting flightpath of an errant pigeon. Would wind go through a forcefield? Sorry to get so deep on the Internet.

Magnetism is a force field. Not going to stop wind or water, but might stop pigeon poop if you could seed all pigeon food with appropriately charged particles the magnetism would resist.
@TheBreadmonkey THIS is the kind of next-level thinking I could only aspire to this would be SIIIICKK
@TheBreadmonkey
Force fields are basically magic; there is no real way to do it. It’s more fantasy than science fiction.
If you speak nice to your Auntie Gravity she might be able to sort you out a force field.
@TheBreadmonkey We have plasma windows. That's not exactly a force field, and it's a lot better at stopping gases than solids. Which is the opposite of what you wanted, actually. None of the wind, but all of the branches slapping your face, but also with little wisps of electrically discharging fire on them.
@log @TheBreadmonkey Spunds like a good Saturday evening out to me.
@spanghero @TheBreadmonkey Get in, loser, we're putting on footie pajamas, running through the plasma window, and shocking each other.
@TheBreadmonkey Would a raindrop-steaming, branch-charring, pigeon-vaporising grid of high-power lasers count as a force field?
Like the bit in the first Resident Evil film where the army guys all get cut into pieces? Hell yeah!
@TheBreadmonkey @vrtxd I bet the pigeons leave you terrible reviews on Glassdoor.
@TheBreadmonkey Depends on the force field. It's non trivial to keep out a raindrop at terminal velocity plus 90km/h of bus.
