Banning Volcanos?
Where will that lead to next?
I remember illuminating the entire central quadrangle with a powdered aluminum “volcano”.
They ban them because they aren’t science experiments, just demonstrations of already well-known phenomena. If I had made a volcano, even for my 3rd grade science fair, I would have gotten an F because of that reason.
“Where will that lead to next?”
If the barbarians don't destroy civilization first, it will eventually lead to people being enclosed in “bubbles” and only interacting with each other in a completely realistic virtual world. All the “real world” tasks would be performed by robots while humans reside in “the matrix”, a virtual utopia with no consequences and infinite "lives".
