Maybe Heaviside should not have scrapped it all and we would be a millennium ahead by now..

Original copies are very rare I’m told. Looking at the original equations is nearly impossible. But when one looks at some of the comments by people in very secretive jobs, they may have been realized. But not made public because the very economic foundations everywhere would be totally discarded. Ask N. Tesla or A. Einstein - both of whom would have died in obscurity, were it not for Maxwell.
Yes Ming!
Dr. Hans Zarkov : We are only interested in friendship. Why do you attack us?
The Emperor Ming : Why not? Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would’ve hidden from it in terror.
“But when one looks at some of the comments by people in very secretive jobs, they may have been realized.”
I also highly suspect that myself. And as you say bits and pieces leak out here and there hinting to this possibility.
I think we are actually way ahead of anything we could ever imagine. :)
Our solar system formed late in the game, not likely the case universally. Super-massive stars were creating metals and exploding in the first billion or two years. Those materials were then available to form new solar systems containing the ingredients of biology. From the formation of this solar system, for example, to us now is about 4 billion years, which we have no reason not to believe is typical.
From the math there were likely civilizations at least as advanced as we are by the time the galaxy was only 6 billion years old. That’s 7 billion years ago.
What can happen in 7 billion years? Better question, what CAN’T happen in 7 billion years?
We don’t see them, you say. That’s probably because they have rules similar to the Prime Directive. If they didn’t, no native civilization would be able to develop organically.
If that’s the case we would expect them to become more interested in us as we develop the ability to harness nuclear energy and venture out into space. When have there been more UFOs than right now?
You are likely right, any spacefaring civilization could do to us what the Spanish did to the new world. I believe that we should not be sending out invitations.
Review of Flash Gordon:

I watched the movie while it was on youtube several years ago. The evil princess Aura (Omelia Muti) was very hot.
Yeah she was hot.
She didn’t like boil worms either.
?? I don’t remember that.
If you ever saw it, it’d be hard to forget.
Cosmo invents the Bro and gets George’s father to test it. That’s when George and his mom walk in.
