For comparison, Eliud Kipchoge’s world record from 2018 is 2:01:39 and his unofficial best is 1:59:40.
You probably won’t see that kind of improvement in marathon times again in your lifetime.
- trhway 4y agoif anything i expect CRISPR, nanobots, 3D lab grown/printed body parts (like 2 hearts and more efficient lungs) etc. to produce such an improvement in half the time, say by 2070. I.e. once software/tech starts to "eat biology" i fully expect some kind of Moore law there too.
