There is a limit and a theory about it. I don't remember what it's called though.

You're absolutely right.

In which ways will science/technology be revolutionized?
What will cities like New York look like?
What will the population be like?

Can't wait to hear your opinions on this :)


Oh, and please don't post "The world will end in 2012 anyways."
I know people will do so, now that I said they shouldn't.

Nuked.
Not even kidding. 15 years max I'd say.

I am not being pessimistic, more like cynical/realistic.
All these retarded religious extremists, and dictatorships.
I have a feeling Iran or North Korea will be involved.
No offense to Iranians, just very difficult with their (lack of) nuclear program.

hard for me to say, I lack premonition abilities >.<

a more serious answer would be that computational power will be pretty ridiculous and of course we'll see a lot of applications for it, I also think we'll begin to expand a lot more into the physical field, referring to researching materials for applications, alternative energy, etc ( if we haven't killed each other or engaged in a major war by then ).

Another thing I just thought of...
What about computer games? :shock:
3D will probably be old by then; we might even be able to smell games... and I guess touchscreen games have a big future, too.

they could fire several missiles and kill a lot of people but thats about it. The only way the world would end in a nuclear war is if america/russia/china was involved, and the chance of that is pretty much zero. Cause once you start one, both sides are guarenteed to die and nobody wins.

Wouldn't be so sure about China, but apart from that +1.
