Finding the keys to those puzzles would advance us by a thousand years easily.
However, I don’t agree with the “thousand years” idea. The reason is that I believe there is a hard stop, and it is less than a century off. This “hard stop” is where we either stop being human or we wipe ourselves out.
But I agree that I doubt anybody would care for the reasons you state plus many more.
Well, God cares. And that is the reality beyond our speculation. :-)
