...For SciFi fans..
« on: Today at 11:19:32 AM »
  Is this the entrance into the proverbial time machine ?  I would like to see some actual, on the spot pictures retrieved from history.

  A bit of a reservation, however..  Surely, over the last 150-200 years, knowledge has increased..   from year 1 until 1700s, not much had changed in everyday life.
  Still horse and buggy, primitive medicine, perhaps gun powder was the one great standout..

   But then knowledge started to increase, by the end of the 1800s, we were into the age of the automobile, soon the airplane, then radio, television, antibiotics and

  shortly thereafter, the space age.  ..But then came an acceleration..knowledge doubled, then doubled again..increasing exponentially.[/color]
 
  Now it is said that the rooms full of computing power it took to launch the moon landing, is contained in a cell phone carried in one's pocket.

  ..Noe artificial intelligence ...and there is no sign that such an expansion of knowledge will soon slow down.

  Will God let us try to replace him?  ..Or will He call the whole thing off?   

  “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”   (Daniel 12:4)
