Interesting idea, though I would say if it’s measurable then we can’t rule out an application somewhere down the line no matter how esoteric the knowledge might

Interesting idea, though I would say if it’s measurable then we can’t rule out an application somewhere down the line no matter how esoteric the knowledge might seem now.
- rwallace 8y agoRule out absolutely, no, but we can say some kinds of physics are much more likely to be applicable than others. And what matters is applicability by terrestrial civilization. 'This could be applicable, but only by a civilization capable of building Dyson spheres' is irrelevant to us, because if we get to that point, we will already have made it past the Great Filter.
