Your nullness, your expert opinion please. Once a null met a void and soon they would become null and void.

I’ve been following Graphene for a while now. I think it will change our future the way the invention of the light bulb did, or the internal combustion engine, etc. Very exciting.

However, at the current exponential increase in the speed of change, within 50 to 100 years, the world we will have created will not be fit for a normal human being. Seriously. Unaltered humans will be unable to cope - or survive for that matter.

Graphene.

Imagine inflatable buildings on the moon with Graphene walls so tough there would be no infrastructure and they would stop space debris. And movable graphene sunshades to control internal temperature.

I can only assume they would also be transparent so you’d have to paint the inside to protect from harmful radiation.

If you thought the last fifty years of technological progress was amazing hold on to your hat for the next fifty.

The first thing I thought when I saw this is "what the Hell is graphene," so I share this link for everyone with the same question in mind:

You could be talking about putting multi-story buildings together in a few days with units that just snap together like legos...
