About the Book
Every cultural renaissance believes it possesses the highest level of scientific understanding. Just one hundred fifty years ago, established laws of physics expressed by the most prominent scientist of the time believed: Humans could not survive speeds greater than 60 miles per hour! Today, humans disprove this theory every day on every highway in the world. Today, scientist believe you cannot exceed the speed of light or traverse vast distances between the stars in a single life time. If technology advances exponentially as it had in the past 150 years, what laws of scientific status quo will be broken in another 150 years from today? Keep in mind, how much more advanced today's fighter planes are to the Kitty Hawk, a primitive machine the Wright brother's built for one of the first flights at Kill Devil Hills in 1903, just 106 years ago. Taken farther, what advances will invalidate technological laws of today in a thousand years from now? What of ten thousand years beyond even that time, or a million years? If humans still exist ten million years from today, would their level of evolvement and technology be understood or even recognized by those who came before them? Why not apply this paradigm to some other evolved planetary civilization with a similar history somewhere in the cosmos, millions or billions of years ago? What would be their capabilities and philosophies. To whom would they have become as gods?
