Regardless of pleasure value, if she can fly and carry a human being in flight, that indicates some serious wing-powering muscles.

I vaguely recall that the only muscles in the human musculature that could be expected to support back-based wings are the pectoral muscles, so...yeah.

Well magic defys physics.

She just uses fairy dust to fly. Screw physics!

*grumbles*

((Irregardless isn't a word; Societies can also decline, and anyways my point was that collapse/scientific crash probably wouldn't be predicted a decade or two before; and if we throw our current understanding of physics out the window we don't have anywhere to stand to discuss it.

And this is Bay12. Scientific debates are our caffeine.)

"Who's gonna call you? I must be fatigued if I'm making that bad of jokes..." Angel finished chewing that bite of pancake and swallowed.

*checks the turn post*

How about orange with a green glow? Or the other way around?

When Selina brought Angel back into the dining room, she swiftly began to eat breakfast.

Allright, that was the only four though, so no more romances!

BWA HA HA!

But the fact that the technology growth rate isn't slowing, and shows signs of actually increasing, we wont be seeing the technology crash for a loooooong time.

This reminds me of something from Jared Diamond's Collapse, specifically when he mentioned that societies tend to collapse around their peak of prosperity and population.
I'm not saying we're on the brink of the "crash," but when it happens no one will see it coming.

Why would fusion be massively outdated? what could replace it? Anti-matter maybe, but that is iffy at best. I dont know enough about zero-point energy to comment on that. Cold fusion?

Says the person whose argument is mainly based on Sufficiently Advanced Technology...

Still too little money. If it isn't funded properly, then it will always be 'only a few decades away' and never actually get here. it would be the same for any other technology.

I find that doubtful. I mean, as long as there's one laboratory working on it, progress is going to move forwards.
