No current physical law. All the advances were preceded by a new understanding of how the universe worked. All the advances that will come, will also be preceded by new understandings.

I postulate that the only constant is our own ignorance. I will not argue that we may reach a point where we know everything and thus can't advance any more. I just don't believe that point exists, but I have nothing to support that belief.

Oh, I see we did reason in the same direction. Ok, then I agree with you in everything but the "may not be anything useful to discover".

Ok, you're right. In automobile technology, in the last century, there have been no fundamental scotsmen. ... I mean... changes.

Care to compare humanity's travel technology between four million years in the past and now?

Have you ever been in a car accident at over 50km/h? Are you still alive and healthy? Would you still be had it happened in a 1909 car?

I'd say "not killing the user" is a pretty nifty improvement. I'd even call it a feature.

So, what you're telling me is that from now on, people with a past that could hurt them if made public will call Google to tell them?

"Hi, Google, I'm a black mail victim. Here is a list of things someone could blackmail me with"

"What can be more palpably absurd than the prospect held out of locomotives traveling twice as fast as stagecoaches?" - The Quarterly Review, March, 1825.

"That the automobile has practically reached the limit of its development is suggested by the fact that during the past year no improvements of a radical nature have been introduced." - Scientific American, January 2, 1909.

"A rocket will never be able to leave the Earth's atmosphere." - The New York Times, January 13, 1920

"To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth—all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. I am bold enough to say that such a man-made voyage will never occur regardless of all future advances." - Lee De Forest, 1957

To believe that I'd need more historical references of creatures or cultures extinct by their own means.

History is reality. The world didn't begin our birth day.

Interplanetary colonization.

Therefore it becomes a problem of time. Ergo of speed. So, it all boils down to the size of that "all" you used.

I can't stop thinking that a four million year orbit means humans will have populated that galaxy before those black holes have completed one more cycle.

We're like smart bacteria inside a human being. We could learn about the season cycle, but but the time winter comes, innumerable generations of our descendants will already have killed our host and traveled to other ones.

I disagree. Human being work actually quite well as an air filter. We just need to breathe more to retain as much pollution as we can in our lungs before dying and returning the components to the ground.

All green parties should be supporting this "Breathe more!" campaign.

It's a good idea, congratulations on thinking outside of the box, but electric cars are a bit too cumbersome for that. They'd also need a driver, as tobacco hornworns can't drive.

In this case, extraordinary claims did require extraordinary poop.

It will be fun to read the changelog of the first patch.

"Fixed an issue regarding the situation in which reaching a speed of 90mph could make the car turn 90 right if fuel was below 20%."

That is wonderful. Thank you.

Nope. Other than Spain and Canada, which are way beyond, the US and the rest of Europe countries are all in a 10% wide span.
