What would it mean if the quantum drive actually works?
It's getting launched this month into space. Assuming the launch goes well, and the drive is deployed successfully what happens if the damn thing actually works? I must admit that quantized inertia makes sense to me because other types of energy is quantized. The idea of pushing on the edge of the observable universe is also wild.
Assuming it works there isn't a reason it can't be scaled up. So what does this do for space travel, and exploration/exploitation of space resources? https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/quantum-drive-that-draws-limitless-power-from-sun-will-fly-to-orbit-this-year

Thoughts on World Economic Forum's UpLink
UpLink is a digital platform created by the WEF to source innovative solutions for the world’s most pressing problems.
Have you heard of UpLink before? Have you used/would you use it? Why/why not?

There is some evidence that we are matrix and matter executes algorithm. Evidence of matrix is listed in the video. If algorithm of matter was found, it would be quite a breakthrough. Also it would show the limits of our civilisation. No wormholes in matrix, no warp drives etc.

I read that room-temperature Superconductors will change everyday life for everyone. Well then, how will home life be different after the advent of RTSes? What will the inside of a house or apartment be like with them?
How will living at home be different with room-temperature superconductors?
What will I do different from what I do at home today?

If we become “Gods” someday, will we have no need for further technology?
It’s hard to tell if technological progression ever ends but let’s say; millennia in the future-humans still exist. They have technology that looks like to us god-like. Maybe we are just made of light that we upload into different bodies in seconds and merge with the internet of minds-telepathically communicating and sharing emotions. Maybe whatever physical needs we still have are instantly fulfilled with programmable matter. We have no mental illness because we totally understand how the brain works. We don’t get bored because we eliminated that feeling. We got rid of how we perceive time and can instantly generate things to keep us entertained.
Will we still need technology or technological developments? I like to think we will never stop being or get rid of curious/curiosity as it drives us as a species. There are also probably still “humans” at that time who are tech nerds (like me) and love nothing more than seeing new technology and innovations. Will technology and science will be a niche interest like collecting stamps or birdwatching? Or will we continue to make innovations and progress as a species?
