This is just sad, I thought the regression of civilization described in Foundation by Issac Asimov was far fetched BS.
How wrong I was! This is the exact example he uses in his books.
- makomk 7y agoSort of, but not really. Asimov worried about us losing the knowledge of nuclear power, and whilst there's a little of that what's really lead to its demise is that as we've learnt more about what's needed to build and operate it over the years it's become less and less viable.
- throaway1990 7y ago> it's become less and less viable. isn't it because of some unnecessary regulation and some materials technology being behind. nuclear fission is the second densest form of energy, It is absolutely worthwhile to improve it for the future humanity, IMHO. I think most countries and national bodies are just giving up on nuclear all together.
