It is a dream that will happen. And, yes, there will be pipes, but not sure what kind of concrete will be used :-)
- sailormoon 16y agoI suspect that the advent of nanotechnology is going to cause civilisation upheaval the likes of which we haven't seen since the industrial revolution, if ever. All this shit will happen, and much, much more. Hell, why limit ourselves to the surface of the sea? The materials nanotech promises to deliver will make it possible to live far above or below sea level with equal ease. Sky-steading, anyone?
- stretchwithme 16y agoand don't forget what modifying the human genome will do. It could give us the means to winnow out the very imperfection that has enabled us to survive. I refer to the inherent variability that creates so many different personalities and immunities that we've been able to survive in spite of everything else that has evolved on the planet. We must take care not to lose this quality. The minute we do, we become as vulnerable as the plants and animals we raise, most of which would quickly fail in the wild.
