We are no different, the people born 100 years from now will definitely consider everyone alive right now a moron.

Who thinks people born 100 years ago are morons? You're the jackass with no sense of history. History: morons building upon morons. Every generation is moronic because the next generation is a little less moronic.

There were phones in 1950. If you had said to someone "Uh, in the future, those will be wireless and smaller and have pictures on it" they would have had no problem. One, there was already wireless technology. Two, they had small instruments. Three, they had pictures.

I don't feel like there is nothing more to know. I just know that there's no way we're getting to another solar system to meet aliens. And no one is doing that with us.

Never say never. There's no telling what type of ne technologies will present themselves hundreds of years from now, or what new laws of physics will be written.

I don't think there'll be any "new laws of physics"; we'll just understand the existing laws that much better... but we're reaching the point of diminishing returns, IMO.

Didn't someone famous proclaim that there was nothing new left to invent/discover? That was like in 1910. LOL.

Just because we don't have a concept of something doesn't mean it's impossible. Every generation thinks they have reached the peak of technology, but breakthroughs WILL happen. If we manage to survive 2012 that is.

Although, it's never been proven or documented that he actually said it.

Wow and I thought you were dumb after your first post. So you're telling me when the general population was listening to record players, that if you told them they would have a device that would hold 30,000 songs in the palm of their hand they would be cool with it? That it would have GPS and access to the internet? What about the touch screen? these people were using rotary dial phone and watching black and white TV. They would react the exact same way you are right now, "We will never have something like that! Phones and TVs will never get better!"

You're clueless about a lot of things. No one ever said "We will never have something like that! Phones and TVs will never get better!"

No one really said that, and no one really thought that. I get the feeling most of your historical understanding comes from commercial breaks during Ice Truckers on the History Channel. There's no indication of any astronomical understanding on your part in this thread. We crossed the mother ****ing ocean. Great. The chance of getting to another solar system without a breakthrough of evidence and application of string theory or use of the seventh or eighth dimension is as close to zero as you can think of before falling asleep.

I don't ****ing care if you went to Disney World, took a Space Mountain ride, play the Star Wars games, and was told that if you can imagine it, you can achieve it. Our galaxy is huge. All our knowledge about it is increasing, and it's not leading to this idea that we're going to be going somewhere else. It's the opposite. We're ****ing here for good. Get the **** over it.

I can't believe I spent time reading world renowned physicists works when right here, all along, on ChiefsPlant no less, we have a man that knows the limits of future space travel as well the limits of intelligence of life all across the entire universe.

Jenson if you were half as smart as you thought you were you wouldn't be arguing your case on this BB. You can theorize based on what knowledge we have at our disposal at the moment but you don't know absolutes now matter how much you want to look like you do or pretend you do for your ego.

Repeat after me: "Educated Guess" and nothing more you pompous boaster.

Otter, how do you know that everything around you is not an illusion?
