Secret projects would reportedly play a part, including for the Android@Home wireless audio device and Google's well-known but still secretive Project X labs. The highlight would be a 120000 square foot Experience Center.
Google just unveiled a new project dedicated to tackling some of the world’s biggest problems.
It’s called, "Solve for X",
It’s a TED -like think tank that will encourage problem solving and teamwork to come up with "radical" ideas that might help solve the world from its increasing and perhaps catastrophic problems.
The website says that it’s place where the curious and motivated will be able go to hear and discuss radical technology ideas for solving global problems.
“Radical in the sense that the solutions could help billions of people".
"Radical in the sense that the audaciousness of the proposals makes them sound like science fiction".
"And radical in the sense that there is some real technology breakthrough on the horizon to give us all hope that these ideas could really be brought to life".
The project is said to be looking for "moonshot" ideas and thinking, and the fruits of some of these labors, belive it or not, are already on the horizon.
One of Google chief scientists, Richard DeVaul announced that the Solve for X YouTube page and website will be updated to include video’s of the presentations for all to see.
Top Secret Google X
The project is believed to be linked to Google X which is the company’s top-secret lab that is dedicated to "shoot-for-the-stars" type ideas, such as driverless cars, web-connected appliances and even space elevators.
The Google X labs are reportedly run, "as mysteriously as the C.I.A." and our housed in two unnamed facilities, one in California at the company’s headquarters and one in an undisclosed location elsewhere in the country.
Rodney Brooks, who is a professor emeritus at M.I.T.’s computer science and artificial intelligence lab and founder of Heartland Robotics says:
“They’re pretty far out in front right now. But Google’s not an ordinary company, so almost nothing applies".

Mir Imran who spoke at the Google conference about the inter-cranial drug delivery system he is working on, is one of the most amazing innovators of our times.
Having done some studies on him, I happen to know that he has over 200 ground-breaking patented innovations to his name, of which more than a dozen have already become products and are now widely in use by the medical profession.
His inventions have benefited millions of patients throughout the world. He is the man to watch this century.
It’s not that we don’t have solutions for many big problems; it’s that we don’t have the political will to use them.
There are many examples. Single payer health care for everybody to control costs and improve outcomes, stop medical bill bankruptcies and preventable deaths.
The Solar Roadway to decentralize power distribution, eliminate dependence on foreign oil and domestic coal and bring everyone broadband Internet while reducing unnecessary transportation deaths.
Mandatory national service for two years between high school and college to enfranchise youth in their country.
Requiring conversion/replacement of old nuclear reactors to use Thorium-based design with low pressure operation and passive shutdown in power failures.
Breeder reactors to ‘burn’ existing stores of spent nuclear fuel. These are ideas that require no scientific breakthroughs – just the will.
