Rain and severe weather conditions affect an array of sports and prevent them from being played. X claims it is not working on such endeavours and told MailOnline: 'Although we've worked out how to make cars that drive themselves and balloons that deliver the internet, nothing can fix the problem of rain in the UK.'Īnother option is the use of cloud seeding technology, as used by the Chinese government during the Beijing Olympics, but this is likely to be prohibitively expensive. X was originally a division of Google but the name changed when Alphabet, now Google's parent firm, was created. One potential solution may be a fine mesh over the entire ground suspended in the air by a weather balloon. It is reported the meeting investigated potential ways of eradicating the need for the dreaded phrase 'rain stopped play' from being uttered again.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) allegedly met with a company which focuses on experimental solutions to niche problems, called X - The Moonshot Company. A hint of drizzle derails cricket games and ruins entire matches, but now the sport's governing body in England is looking into experimental ways of preventing it.
