Re: What will the world do when..

However, entropy will get the best of the universe in about 50 billion years.

I think we'll find a way to screw up the universe well before we run out of free energy, though.

Back on topic: Damn, we'd know a whole lot of things if we knew everything. No more dying of diseases since we'd know all the cures, but the world would overpopulate. It seems that you just can't win, no matter how much you know.

You would also know how to stop the overpopulation, or make it so there is enough room that overpopulation is an impossibility.

Also, we as a human race could never screw up the universe. It is too vast.

well over time humans will be able to learn things faster and more efficiently imo, and has been aparent over the many many years already. but one will never be able to kno everything cuz there will always be more to learn.

Assume you know everything there is to know about the universe. Also, assume that you know that bunnies are fluffy. That means that you know how the information is stored as well as the fact that bunnies are fluffy. Thus, what you know must be more than what you know. =><=

Since that grand ol vast universe is free for the taking (or at least we think ), overpopulation shouldn't be a problem is we get our butts of this planet eventually.

And we could screw up the universe. I mean, tell someone back in 1500 AD that you could smash atoms apart to release energy enough to blow up the enemies army, their base and more all in one blow 8) They'll be like, '..atoms?! where do I get them?!'

I wouldn't be surprised if you could blow up entire galaxies. I mean, supernova explosions destroy everything for lightyears of distance.

Re: What will the world do when..

Like many of you said, if we knew everything there wouldn't be any point in science or mathamatics, now would there? And in my opinion it is human nature to want to know things. It's just instinct, live with it. And it, again in my opinion, is impossible for a human to know everything or close to it. A machine could have enough memory to hold all information, which many of generations have inputed into its memory. That simple. Again, it's not possible to know everything, and there is no point ink knowing everything. It would ultimately lead to everyones insanity trying to learn it all, thus resulting in utter chaos. Thanks for reading me out(lol).

Re: What will the world do when..

It is scientificly impossible to know everything. The world will always have some unansewered question. Maybe it's what would of happened if we did this instead of this. Or how long would it of taken for this to happen. Theres no way to know all.

Re: What will the world do when..

we as humans are the smartest animals alive. Our minds our so powerful and humans in general are very intelligent but since were so smart does that give us the right to take over this planet and turn it in to trash... Some species were here before us, so does that give us the right to destory their habitats, homes and put roads and all this stuff every where with out any regard to the other creatures that we live with... do u think this is what the creator of the world intended us to do when we were brought in to this planet. sorry a bit off topic, just curious

Re: What will the world do when..

Well, first off, your right. We have no right to do that, but the fact is that we do have the highest intellegence among all other speices. They do deserve our respect.

Re: What will the world do when..

hey RB this might be hard to understand but have u ever just stepped out of reality for a sec and realized that your alive? u realize that ur seeing all this stuff through your eyes and all the sudden u start questioning urself with questions like wtf am i doin here? what purpose do I serve? how this all get created? who is this creator? It's almost like a creepy feeling and sometimes it scares u. I hate it because there questions can never be answered, i guess i have to wait till my time comes

Perfection; the strive for it. The problem being, you must start with the individual before you enforce mass change. There are far too many people in need of individual change in order to accomplish absolute truth.

We seek truth in search of a form of solace, to answer those questions to make us even more powerful for the more we know, the stronger we become and humanity tends to like the feeling of empowerment. When all is known, we will cease to exist, or so I see it as that. Although, I don't believe anyone from this plane of existence (Or others, for those of you who believe in the spiritual, etc.) know everything. I believe that one individual can learn a lot and gain knowledge of most that is existent, but in truth, knowledge will never truly be achieved because we constantly alter truth and create lives of falsity.

Of course, this ties in to personal beliefs for each individual and since I do not follow a god, or Judeo-Christian religion or belief of after-life I place high emphasis upon the self, the individual. Question exists because we wish to learn, understand, comprehend, reciprocate what we have seen. We're born destructive and it's the shaping of society amongst other things that affect our perspective on learning, and how we choose to identify with it.

Western culture as a whole, tends to focus too much on the ego, the individual, while neglecting the world body, or at least, I see it very much this way. There are exceptions, sure, but, I largely believe it is not like that.

Human advancement is a broad statement considering it's subjective to say what advancement even is. Is advancement gaining that pay raise? Perhaps rising in social class? Material Possessions? Knowledge? Ownership? Tons of variables...

Personally, though, it's not something I worry about because no individual will know everything, and if they do, do they use the knowledge in a way that benefits society? If not, than we are still far from perfection or anything close for there are some things that can't quite be taught, but more so, practically learned.
