The evolution of thought will propel us into the future through technology allowing us to boldly explore our solar system and beyond. Today we’re thinking in ways never before conceived by human kind.
If we can assume that the evolution of thought and research might continue at an exponential rate into the future, what will we be experimenting with 50 years from today in 2059? Or 100 years in 2109? How about 250 years? 500? or 1000 years from now? Can you imagine what human kind will be like in 1000 years? (if we don’t destroy ourselves first or are not wiped out by a huge asteroid impact). It’s exciting to think about where we are going with science.
Don’t you think that today’s science will be archaic and rudimentary compared to what it will be 100 or 1000 years into the future when you factor in the rate at which we are advancing and learning about our universe?
Today we are talking about manufacturing human organs, curing cancer, regrowing human limbs, fighting deadly diseases, curing paralysis, extending human life, and exploring planets and the solar system. Eventually we will figure out new transport methods and break the language barriers between different cultures with technology.
The early days of the space age have been here for the last 40 years… We are on the precipice of such advanced discoveries that make it possible to explore new worlds. Maybe in another 200 years we may see something of the sort of technology beginning to approach that of the science fiction of Star Trek. If not so soon, 500 years might be sufficient. The point is it’s going to happen. Eventually we will have the technology. Our minds won’t allow us not to learn. It’s inherent and intrinsic. It’s at the core of every man woman and child on this planet. The ability and need to learn.
In the words of the beloved Gene Roddenberry “…Space… “is” the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before…”
This was something said 40+ years ago by a man, and visionary that saw the future of space exploration, and had ideas of exploration that made this popular TV show a catalyst which inspired countless millions to take up science as their occupation, and to passionately seek out their own answers.
Seek and ye shall find…
