Pankaja_Dasa 1 Report post Posted February 20, 2005 I am not scientist but what do devotees think about this. Anybody who doesn't know its when atoms or is it elections smash together at great speed and collide or merge to create great energy, thats whats meant to happen in center of the Sun. Do devotees think somebody will come up with a plan to ever do this? Is it playing God? Just asking for views. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gauracandra 1 Report post Posted February 20, 2005 Should we hold off on technology until we are a perfectly holy people? Or should we pursue technology while still imperfect? There is a real danger. If we wait until the whole world is holy, we may never have any material progress. But if we pursue technology while we are still materialistic, it can bring about our doom. I'm sure when we invented nuclear weapons, which true was a race against Germany, we thought we could control them. Today we have to worry about North Korea and Iran getting them. Was it worth it to unleash the Nuclear Genie? Or how about genetic modification for curing diseases? Sounds good. But wait until the Eugenics societies start to form again, and they decide you aren't genetically worthy. We say "Oh no that will never happen." Really? It already has happened once before. So with Nuclear Fusion there are great possibilities. If we had unlimited clean energy we could, in the language of economics, "move the production possibilities curve." Basically it would free literally tens of trillions of dollars in the global economy. We could use that excess money to feed the poor, build school, hospitals, even "purchase" peace if need be. But we'd likely just go buy more Gap clothing, and buy more bobbles and gizmos. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
