that’s just a staggering thought. I love reading about stuff like that. my goodness if we don’t collapse where could we be in five hundred years? A thousand?
My response was an optimistic one. Unfortunately, that same technology could create a weapon like the Star Wars Death Star, enabling rearranging atomic particles to destroy planets... leading to the collapse and destruction of society. Oh well, technology changes but people don't! When Oppenheimer pushed the science behind the Manhattan Project to create the first atomic bomb, he didn't realize the destructive forces he unleashed until after the test explosion, remarking with the words from the Bhagavad Gita: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
