minus-squareBananaIsABerry@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·28 days agoSure, friend. You can see reality thousands of years into the future and know exactly what happens. My bad.
minus-squareHugeNerd@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·28 days agoDo you think physics and chemistry have changed in some significant way over the last thousand years? Yet somehow, YOU can see reality in a thousand years, and it matches the sci-fi mindrot you watched as a kid…
minus-squareBananaIsABerry@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·28 days agoYes? Not the principles behind them, but our understanding of them as a species. You’re a boring doomer who thinks humans will never find, create, or invent something we’ve never done before? Seriously? What kind of boring hill is that to die on?
minus-squareHugeNerd@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·28 days agoUh, it’s called “reality” my friend, try it. You can’t “invent” your way out of fundamental physical limits. A Boeing 747 looks the same in 1969 as it does today. It still flies over the Atlantic in six hours burning kerosene in turbofan engines. Sure, you can get a few percent here, a few percent there, but do you think suddenly we’ll have warp drive? Come on. Do you know how empty and huge space is?
