you are mistaken...they will happen very soon.
the basics exist - they just need to find a way to apply them.
do you really think that every major breakthrough is announced publicly?
OT: Third World War.
given the current political situation in the world atm (especially Europe) and the fact that resources are diminishing, I wouldn't be very surprised if in the next 50 years a world war will break out.
If time travel were to be achieved, it would imply predetermined fate, which is not the case, as we are all given free will to make decisions and choices. (We already know this, as even as much as choosing the clothes we will wear in the morning portrays how we've all got the power to choose) Imagine if you were, to say, go back in time to meet your 'previous self'.. Put yourself in your 'previous self's' shoes and you have a 'future you', going back in time. Now imagine, yourself in the present, a 'future you' goes back to you... Everything that your 'future self' has experienced or done, is what you
will do in the distant future sometime.. What has happened to the 'future self' will happen to you too, once the right time comes for that particular situation. You would think, that as your 'future self' is warning you about your future that you need to change, you'd be able to quickly change your decision and it'll be all 'Happily ever after'. This is, however, not the case as a 'future self',already, visiting you shows that one's fate has already been determined the moment they were born.
That can get pretty complicated fast.. Also, time travel is controlling time itself, which is 'playing God'.. Therefore, I'm fairly sure it'll never happen.:hmm:
The clone thing, that's also 'Playing God'.. You can't simply just create another human with the exact features, DNA, attitudes, behaviour, personality, beliefs, etc of an already existing human, or a new human for that matter, unless you were God.
On another note, imagine just a 'copy and paste' machine but for humans. Lol That might work.:snick:
Eh, that's just my two cents. Feel free to have a differing opinion. Lol
