What the heck is Google [x]

Supposedly a semi-secret google science division thingie. It seems to be real seeing as as there are multiple videos from noted Youtube channels.

(Watch these for info) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_X, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDJ5VvFj1nU, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i3oKEg6o9g

What I wanted to know is how many people know about this and also if you didn't know about it...

GOOGLE FLIPPING [X] ?!?! WHAAAAA???

Edit: just realised it decided to post two of these. Don't know why but there you go

It is googles experimental tech wing

 

So they develop stuff that you would only normally dream of in a sci fi such as driverless cars, then work out ways of brining it to reality

 

I think its great people want to think so forward!

I thought people knew this existed. considering this started in around early 2008 before actually gaining some offices and creditably in 2010. It was actually Employee started before the company thought "hey this actually is a good idea".

Well they get young people from Google science fairs, fund their education than hire them for google X. They have a strong integration in Science here and spotting young is one of the key things. So they can go to Google X or Science devision.
