The largest bomb ever built, Tsar Bomba, released more energy than the entire Earth receives from the sun in a day.

1 in every 110 people has autism. 50% of all Savants are also Autistic If the rates of autism are constantly rising how long will it take before the Rise of the Homo-Novis?

Presuming that you are using the words "constantly rising" in the appropriate mathematical sense, we can use derivatives to solve this question!
First let the rate of the rate at which autistic children being born with respect to time be expressed as a second derivative of some function:
So to find the rate of autistic children being born with respect to time, take the integral of this, which gives us:
We will use the notation that represents the current year. Next, it is given that for we have Using , and the above substitution, we have:
Solving for t, we have:
So therefore, every child being born will be autistic after years, where is a constant representing the rate at which the rate of autistic children being born is increasing per year. ----------

Did you know that the earth receives 3.85 x 10^24 joules per year from the sun? Did you know that 3.85 x 10^24 J / 365.25 is 1.05407255 x 10^22J? Did you know that 2.1 + 10^17 J is significantly 2.1081451 + 10^22? Did you know that even if you were factoring in the theoretical yield of the Tsar Bomba 4.2 x 10^17 J is still a hell of alot less that 2.1081451 + 10^22 J? Did you know your data was wrong? and further more why do i even need a sig? |

While we may have enough nukes to bring us back to rudimentary technology levels (after the nuclear winter and fallout also drastically culls the entire biosphere, reducing the "standard of living" to negligible levels), we don't have nearly enough nukes (if we detonate each and every one of them at the same time) to even come close to the destructive power of what Earth has seen several times over since life started on this planet (in form of asteroid strikes). Also, if mankind vanished all of a sudden (it would actually take more than thermonuclear global war for that - we already repopulated the planet from a base stock of under 2k individuals after another previous disaster), it would take only a handful of millennia (which is barely a blink of an eye in geological timsecales) to almost completely erase all traces of humanity from the face of the planet - some "megastructures" might endure, and some regular structures may be uncovered by archaeological digs, but that's about it... even the damage done by all the nukes will barely register on the background radiation scale (unless somebody concentrated most of them in the exact same spot). _

you neglecting a key fact... Evolution dose not distinguish between function and deficit.
Not all autistics born will develop savant powers or even be productive members of society.
It's really a wild card. You could just end up with an autistic who can turn a dial to any station in one try. cool talent sure but what use is it? "Sweet Jesus, It's an Anti-AT field!"

He also neglects the fact that evolution doesn't actually care about capability either. It's never survival of the fittest, its survival of the fit enough.
If a dumb guy has 5 kids but can support those 5 kids, and those kids go on to have more kids. He is evolutionarily more "successful" then the autistic genius, remembered by all, but never had kids because of his social dysfunction. and further more why do i even need a sig? |

Yeah, I misread the wikipedia entry - it's the total amount of energy the earth receives from the sun in a SECOND, not a day. Not nearly as impressive sounding, but still impressive none the less. Since there are roughly 3.1 * 10^7 seconds in a year, this means there is roughly 1.2 x 10^17 J received by the earth from the sun in a second. The *ACTUAL* yield of Tsar Bomba was half of the theoretical yield (50MT instead of 100MT), which is 2.1 x 10^17 J.
So Tsar Bomba released a little less than twice the energy that the earth receives form the sun in a second. ----------

Do these numbers include the sunlight reflected from the moon?

The energy from sunlight scattered off of the moon is negligible, as it will likely be a few orders of magnitude smaller. The reason for this is that the moon absorbs the vast majority of the energy from the sun light that hits it, and only a relatively small amount of energy is scattered back towards the Earth. ----------

What you are calling "savant powers" is a defect in the brain that does not allow people to filter information before it is stored. Means they store anything unfiltered and therefore can remember phone-books and such. A normal human could do that as well, if that filter is suppressed. And that's exactly what science is currently working on: to disable the filter temporarily with drugs or magnetic fields or other methods. In the future you will learn like this: You gather the learning materials, sit down, then disable the filter function of the brain, go through the learning materials (which you instantly memorize by just seeing it once) and after the learning period your brain functions as normal again, so that you don't get overwhelmed by sensory input in your everyday life.
