Q: Is this the same article style like the one from New York Times about humanity not able to fly in a million years 9 days before Wright brothers did it? (https://bigthink.com/pessimists-archive/air-space-flight-impossible/ https://bigthink.com/pessimists-archive/air-space-flight-imp...)
A: Yes, it is.
- tim333 4y agoIt's more like predicting humans won't be able to fly a few months after the Wright brothers did it. Exhibit: Cruise cars driving happily in SF: https://youtu.be/DNOJFcwXdec?t=61 https://youtu.be/DNOJFcwXdec?t=61 OK they are not at "omnipresent scale" and aircraft took decades before we had proper flights with queues for security and baggage reclaim but I think tech moves faster these days.
