We have not peaks. Infact, discovery of the Higgs Boson, and the study of it will usher in new technologies. Technology will take a while to develop from this discovery.
The Higgs Boson is a key component in learning why things have mass. It was basically the missing link. So from there can we then learn how to make materials with less or CRAZY, no mass.
These discoveries will change the way we think and observe the universe around us.
As I know it will come up, I am sure there will be some way to militarize it, which will destroy the universe as we know it… Maybe say, end up December?? LOL
5 to 10 year I bet we are seeing at least some benefit, with it becoming more refined and useful in 50 years. Just like the electron, when it was discovered. Thank you electricity.
So there is my almost KK length post on why I dont think we peaked based on one discovery. Not even getting into what might be discovered in space once we master Photon propulsion. Go NASA
