The Warrior Destroyers Most of All Kill Hope
Jacob Barnett is a 14 year old physics prodigy who may be smarter than Einstein. He's the youngest person ever to be published in the prestigious physics journal: “Physical Review A.” He hopes to build on Einstein's Theory of Relativity. He's writing a book to help people overcome their fear of math. And he describes his thought process as thinking in the fourth dimension. What marvels of technology will spring from his eventual discoveries? No one knows.
But will humankind even be around long enough for us to find out? This is what's so frustrating about the destroyers of our times, like terrorists and megalomaniacal war-mongers like Bush and Cheney. It's hard to know just how much they are destroying. How many child geniuses did they kill in Iraq?
One way they are destroying is by keeping technology bogged down in finding more efficient was to kill and destroy, which is a waste of valuable time which would be better spent on creating rather than destroying, and on discovering peaceful uses for technology rather than destructive uses for technology. And they may well destroy the world before Jacob Barnett can discover the technologies that might make war obsolete.
Humankind is balancing on the edge of a precipice, and we need all the creative minds we can muster to help us solve all the looming problems we're faced with. There are certain key problems, which if solved might help humanity avoid self-destruction. For example, a cheap and efficient way of producing solar energy would change everything. Technological advancement has never been more important. And yet the destroyers of the world are delaying such advancements and making our self-destruction more likely.
