Wow, I didn’t think of that possibility..
Well no not currently. I meant there will be one in the future. But we probably thought the same thousands of years ago..
Something like teleportation lol. Don’t think that’ll ever be possible…

Not to sound like a conspiracy nut but it’s easy for someone to make a technological or scientific advancement and the government shuts it down and label it “need to know”. If it gives a military advantage in someway, that info would not be readily available

Element 115 is very real but we have no way of harnessing it in a practical capacity. It takes an insane amount of force and collision for the slightest reaction. Simply put, there are several existing elements that we cant’t stabilize long enough to do anything with. The cap on civilization is based upon our lack of understanding. Then there’s the dark anti-gravity matter that we’ve barely scratched the surface of in terms of its capabilities. The biggest obstacle for mankind is Father Time, the brilliant minds can’t live long enough to finish their research, so advancements are at the mercy of the next generation to keep pushing the envelope. I don’t love AI but it solves problems at a much faster rate than the human mind, AI is going to propel accelerate society’s 10x faster than the breakthroughs we’ve seen so over the last 100 years. If I told you in the year 2000 that we’d have self driving cars in 26 years, you wouldn’t even comprehend the idea.

The thing with that though is that even with all the technology society isn’t ready to advance. The best illustration I’ve seen of that was an episode of ‘The Orville’ - one of the crew wanted to basically give replicator technology to a planet - but the issue was that they weren’t ready as a society.
A Star Trek style utopia with no hunger and no poverty is a long way away - even if we invented the tools tomorrow.

Even when they come out with stuff that’s amazing people mysteriously die or special interests block it.
For example Porsche designed a fuel which is hydrogen split from water and carbon captured from the air to make a synthetic gasoline ANY car can run.
It’s carbon neutral since it’s taking the carbon pollution already in the air and turning it to gas.
We’ll never see that used on a wide scale.
They can’t sell you new cars and big oil makes no money.

I agree. Mankind is not ready to accept. The average person doesn’t even know a 4th dimension exists. Google the image of a tesseract, it’s basically xray vision from an isometric perspective to a humans mind that can only see the 3d dimensions that we see in front of our eyes.

I’m just glad they are providing a show for family’s to come out and see. When the globetrotters came to town that was a lasting childhood memory of mine.

If we could have to technology and means to solve hunger, poverty, etc. there is no way the people of the world could agree to doing it. Too many greedy and selfish people. There are so many things that could have been achieved by now, but powerful people keep shutting down any advancement towards greater good goals.
People won't even stop idling their cars because it's inconvenience for them. I saw a lady taking a nap in the car while the car was running (for AC) while the driver picked up groceries.
Curious, are you a physics major or something related? (guessing based on your last two posts here)
Very interesting stuff
I'm probably going down the 4th dimension rabbit hole on YouTube tonight to learn more about it. lol.

I was working next to a Tesla dealer, some dumb *** employee was complaining about all the protestors this was when any Tesla was getting vandalized for being a Tesla.
I just told him ol Elon can eat a ****, he didn't like my jokes.

Life hack: if you need to find out who a phone number belongs to, copy it and paste it in cash app or Venmo. I’m bad with names and it’s so helpful.
