I was thinking more along the lines of undiscovered territory. We are still a largely un-scientific society, logic itself is an iffy proposition with many. Maybe it's just illusion on my part, but it seems to me we are in the first toddling steps of our infancy in terms of knowledge of the world, much less the rest of the universe. Thinking along the lines of Clarke that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic; maybe any sufficiently different discovery in nature will resemble the supernatural. What would medieval man imagine face with radio, television, an airplane? What technologies will grow from new discovery and when will we look like the stone age brute? I suspect our minds are caught in very narrow realms of the possible. ...that sort of thing...although I did have superman pajamas as a little kid thanks--mel Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
