What I am saying is, at the rate humans “got better at things” in the last 100 years by discovering so much, and mastered so many things… the rate of “getting better at things” has hit cruise control and isn’t accelerating like it has up to this point. Humans rocked out in flintstone whips way back in the stoneage, then 100 years ago we invented cars, trucks, motorcycles, planes, and boats that were dirt slow and crappy, then only 50 years or so later we “mastered” them with carbonfiber hp’s and everything uber cool in the market today. Took alllll that time to get to the point and conceptualize something then master it all in one lifetime. > > I wish our grandparents could sign on to Shift and reply to this thread… THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING. They are the lucky ones to see exactly what I am talking about. Well technically (according to sources I read, Science Journal and such) they are very sure it is the Higgs Boson but there is still a few things to confirm to be 100%. So assuming they (people way smarter than myself at CERN) prove it to in fact be the Higgs, we will then be able to explain roughly 2% of matter in the universe… LOL The numbers are mind boggling… This biggest most exciting (To some) part of this is they are hoping studying the Higgs and interaction with the W and Z Bosons will open a door into dark matter… Which is what makes up a majority of the universe, and we know nothing about it. Like the only thing we know is it is not matter as we know it… Maybe in 100 years youngins are going to be like, remember when we thought earth was the best planet… LOLOL stupid grandparents As everyone is chilling on a resort on Titan, one of the moons of Saturn. (google the moon and how the constant changes in gravity make it warm enough to sustain life, crazyness) I honestly think we are opening pathways to the previously unimaginable. I wish I was smart enough to be involved in such study, but I will remain a loyal fanboy. /Tangent, unless we want to keep talking because it interests the hell out of me. even though it has nothing to do with your real point. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-things-we-do-have-now-that-will-seem-silly-to-the-next-generation/265497)._
