A source of energy in a seemingly endless supply thereby eliminating the need for commercial trade of natural resources? A Major medical breakthrough that unlocks the keys to illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, ALS et al? A complete end to all warfare and proliferation of tolerance and peace on a global scale? Or... have we gone as far as we can go, celebrating only small advancements in science and culture with no major breakthroughs on the scale of the renaissance period. (1300 a.d. - 1600 a.d.) Also known as the age of enlightenment, this period saw more advancements in culture than any other period in history comparitively. My fear is that we have peaked. The thought that the global fight for natural resources (oil) could escalate to a global shell game, that we are 50+ years from truly understanding the human genome and world peace has become a pipe dream leaves me to wonder. What is next??? I hoping for... (this is where I lose credibility) ... alien contact
