Imagine a group of profound scientists joining their creative abilities directly, through a special thinking channel. Instead of gathering for these endless boring conferences they would be able to exchange thoughts and develop ideas distantly and instantly.
It would increase their thinking productivity 100 times, this way spurring on research and development progress.
I can think of only one way to make it - it's researching brain cortex functioning, then finding a way to encode thoughts into electromagnetic impulses and transfer them between brains.

Can you people think of more ways to do it?
