I've just caught a little TV giving a brief history into the Renaissance and how Issac Newton was a major contributor to the understanding of light with his experiments on the division of light through a prism.
This reminded me about my hope to see not an end to our civilisation in a biblical sense but the end of an era of science and technology. As I watch mans advancement come to an end after the steam and iron age I cannot help but ponder the possibilities of "what's next".
Are we opening the phoetal doors on flying cars, teleporters and biological engineering as nano technology is explored. As alternative fuels are sought or as stem cell research goes to continued efforts despite controversy from some.
What am I to make of the Hadron Collider? Shall I expect the end of a world or the harnessing of a power from a theoretical Higgs particle to almost God fearing results.
Firstly Im worried curiousity will kill this cat and that we will not even be given a fleeting thought as our bodies are thrown into a man made black hole. we mayunderstand the science but do we understand the consequences in theory or reality let alone the unforseen results given that we are smashing particles at faster than light speeds in the hope of finding a theory.
Im not an Oxford graduate. Far from it. But if this post is cut short it is because I have drifted beyond the event horizon and cannot be seen, heard or thought of............
In conclusion, where do we go from here?. Perhaps I will post my ideas up later for a constant electrical genrator that reduces CO2 by at least 80% as is my guess. Perhaps I should copyright them first.
Until then, stay creative because this planet is getting boring.
