I think not yet. Where I live we had a few cases last year. As I understood the virus jumps rarely to humans for example by unclean cooking habits but doesn’t jump from human to human yet.
This is true for older technologies.
Like combustion as you said, we used it a lot and pretty much designed it the best we can with the materials we know and have. But there will be completely new technologies opening up, like maybe fusion. Or solar we know already since a while but made major improvements the last decade and will probably improve it even more.
I was more thinking about how we had this technology rush. I think it is mostly due to the use of fossil fuels and therefore “incredible cheap” energy which also led to humans reproduce a lot. (incredible cheap in quotation marks, because we will probably have to pay the real price which is environmental damage and a modified atmosphere)
When you have a world with 3 times (random number based on nothing) more people you also have 3 times more great artists, scientists, etc. Of course only, if society stays more or less the same. Imagine how many great works we could have if the majority of great minds wasn’t preoccupied paying for food and a place to stay like in a hamster wheel.
I think that’s true for only a planet with indefinite resources. We haven’t really hit many caps yet, but I believe things will start to slow down within a lifetime.
The exercise […] will include Cambodian, Lao, Malaysian, Thai and Vietnamese forces.
I’m happy there are comments already. I’m not familiar with American pastry and I thought these were two anus speaking to each other.
These women are incredibly courageous!
Last year I thought these people stand no chance against the governmental oppression and that the protests will fade.
But it appears I underestimated how strong and brave Persian women fight back!
This news story warms my heart.
I’m not denying the science, it is mathematically possible and I actually love the science behind it and reading about it.
I just say we are not yet near fusion power, I think. ITER will start experiments probably this decade. After that they plan to build DEMO, a follow up project which will deliver a little power.
Keep in mind that these reactors are very difficult to built, still. It takes decades to build even without delays.
Fusion is a beautiful source of energy, but it’ll still take time. I don’t think for example that fusion will play a major role in the transition away from fossil fuels as that needs to happen much faster.
Mathematically net positive. As calculating the fusion’s released energy versus what was needed to get it there. As far as I know there is no technology yet on how to utilize and extract that energy. So zero kWh produced for now.
Then you still have loss in the generators or turbines. And then it needs to be able to run 24/7 instead of split seconds, which brings the problem of how to add fuel constantly and how to remove the fusion’s results.
It might be possible but I doubt we are somewhat near.
