Completely agree, certainly not 50 years. I do think the Chinese will go to the moon though (w/o the US), set up mining operations for helium-3 while the US is still sending probes to Mars to no end.
50 years? The moon will probably be popped out of orbit by then. Fair well moon base Alpha.

Sounds ridiculous but there are more than a few futurists out there that think it's a likely series of events
Of course they would still be incapable of generating a true random number ...maybe apart from hooking up a radioactive geiger counter to the system, in which case the system would probably find it logical to launch every nuclear warhead to experiment with greater ranges. Hello, Dave. You're looking well today. (O)

I've been thinking that if the current science and knowledge of the universe is all mathematics in the end, the term "Random" is actually impossible. Since everything can be calculated if enough information is given. Then again, much of the calculations are only approximations, but that can be explained as just not having enough information just now.

This is all well and good, if life were analog. Pinch yourself now, metal man, you're all behind the times. The most advanced computer in the wold is already sitting behind your keyboard, something any cyborg could only aspire to. And that said with 90% of my brain tied behind my back. |
