Hinduism emphasizes the journey, whichever path that takes. And it holds us responsible for our own self-improvement.
Steam cars hit the U.S. market in the 1890s but were largely extinct by the 1930s. Will technology bring them back?
SpinLaunch will cleverly attempt to reach space with minimal rocket fuel. But will physics prevent a full-scale version from succeeding?
What we call “basic research” is actually the most cutting-edge. It underpins knowledge, and without it, technology does not come into being.
If the electromagnetic and weak forces unify to make the electroweak force, maybe, at even higher energies, something even greater happens?
Perhaps wormholes will no longer be relegated to the realm of science fiction.
