/sci/ - Science & Math

We technically are capable of interstellar travel already, humans just can't survive it. We're working on that.

AI is a long way away, but not out of reach of humanity.

We already have super-powered genetically engineered mutants, we just eat them instead of having them fight.

AFM based nanofabrication was the focus of my research two summers ago, so it's more than feasible within my lifetime alone.

Also we already use fusion power plants. Hell, we've even discovered that cold-fusion is possible if we had enough resources and time and money to mass produce muons. (which we don't)

ITT: OP realized what every nerd and sci-fi geek will grow up to realize. The future already happened, the technological singularity came and went, you missed it. But you didn't miss much, because nothing really changed.

Schoolchildren have access to the best technology mankind has ever dreamed of, a wealth of information and functionality we wouldn't have imagined not more than a decade ago. Yet we still pay rent, go to church, pay taxes, and bitch about politics.

Oh yeah, and all those non-American or non-white people? They're still killing eachother. The future is now.
