In the beginning the entire contents of the universe was contained in a space smaller than a single atom.

Imagine this...

We marvel at today’s technological advancement. And for good reason. There has been a hyper-acceleration in software capabilities and computing processing power.
But propulsion systems and energy production have barely evolved over the last 60 years. We’re still limited by 1960s technology when it comes to jet engines and rocket propulsion. We either hit a physical limit or we’re just not smart enough to take it to the next level. Is speed of light travel possible or are we forever restricted to planet Earth ?

Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? The problem is that we know the universe is expanding in all directions. We can see that it is. And if you wind the clock backwards to the beginning of time, the logical conclusion is that everything would eventually coalesce into a singularity. I’m not an astrophysicist, so who am I to argue?

Paul is brilliant, we need more of him within our universe.

(Eh hem, as i sound like Jeremy Clarkson) Some say....
...that Paul’s seen the 1971 Le Mans movie 1,780 times, and that his second best is Wuthering Heights. ...that Paul has driven around the Sun, tho at night as it's much cooler. All we know is he’s not the Stig, but he is the Stig’s FIA Cousin.

Yeah, I agree. I’m not itching to leave Earth either. I was just ranting about how we’re exponentially advancing in some areas while not making any progress at all with energy production and propulsion systems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That would give us so many opinions?

When you think about it, our entire society runs on 19th century technology. Though discovered a few millenia ago, electricity was used practically in the early 1800's. Everything we've built since then is designed around the nature of electricity.

Actually, when you think about, all of our computerization is still built around the transistor, which was invented in the 1940s. It’s all based on gates that are either on or off (one or zero). And the transistor is just a much more efficient, shrunken down version of a vacuum tube, which were invented in the early 1900s. But the big difference is that they can fit billions and billions of transistors on a single chip now. So Moore’s law is still in effect. And that’s where we’re advancing. We’re still far away from practical quantum computing despite what you read in the press. Too many engineering challenges to overcome. I could spend the next thirty minutes writing about that, but I have other things to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

We're a global EMP away from the 1800s :)

Many folk do not even know why Tesla cars are named Tesla………..after Nikola Tesla he was doing electric stuff 150 years ago that made Einstein look like an amateur in my opinion.

We’re one asteroid away from being dinosaurs. We’re much better able to detect them now, but there are still blind spots. If it comes from the right direction and azimuth, we’re toast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well, I wouldn’t go that far. It was Nikola Tesla that invented radio. But he thought it was a failure because it couldn’t transmit electricity over the air. His goal was to transmit electricity point-to-point without wires. He didn’t have the foresight to realize that it could be used for communication over vast distances. It was Guglielmo Marconi that connected the dots and that’s why he gets credit for being the inventor of radio (as we know it today). Of course, Einstein was wrong about things, too. But he’s still in a league of his own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
