Is there going to be any interesting breakthrough in next 100 years that will provide new sort of outlook on life?

It seems currently everything is just progressing on what's already been known for past 50 years and little by little small optimizations that make things go faster/cleaner are happening, but nothing major. Nothing so out of imagination that would transcend current knowledge.

Give me your best outlook to what's to come

In the next 100 years?
We have developed room temperatur auperconductors in this year, genetically modified humans were born 2 years ago, fusion power is expected to be done in 5 to 10 years, carbon nanotubes have begun to be utilized in commercial endeavours, quantum computers have made leaps in research, medical nanoborgs were used in surgery, BCIs is making bigger and bigger steps, BlueBrain is expected to create digital replica of mouse mind in the next 10 years. All these thing will fundamentally change how we do things and even who we are. Transhumanism is on the march and thanks to fusion we might spread out to all the solar system in the 100 years.

My bet is on quantum machine learning. It already showed much better generalization and stable training. We need a clear definition for quantum ANNs and how to use then, but I think it will show us a lot about the universe if we feed it good experimental data.

Chinese are good at stealing and application but their political structure hinders new ideas to be researched. Free democratic nations beat autocracies in that department as the inner struggle for grants are more free.

I seriously doubt it. We largely owe the previous changed in terms of outlook on life to the scientific revolution and that seems to be a once in the history of humanity kind of event.

The only thing I could imagine is if we actually turn ourselves into cyborg. Not just in terms of a small microchip or whatever, but something that actually changes our basic perception. The thing is even if that is possible in principle, it's unlikely to happen within the next 100 years. So all of us will be dead anyway by that time.

is 100% fantasy. visuals and auditory senses are "easy" to simulate. All of the others not so much. It's even questionable if we will ever be able to simulate smell

Why are there so many close-minded pessimists on /sci/? The present and future will be what we make of it. If you want something cool to happen, just diy.

>> No.12268469

>>12268445
it's not about pessimism. just being realistic. people in the stone age wouldn't have been able to build lightbulb in 100 years because they wanted something cool to happen.
At the end of the day there's also limits to the extend that we can manipulate nature, dictated by ... the laws of nature and by now we have a decent idea of what they are or if you wanna be skeptical about that we at least have enormous constraints for what any future discoveries could look like while being consistent with our empirical knowledge of the world right now
