HiDee Wy Guy!
My Cousin, Jeffrey Carver, is Author of a number of Sci-Fi Books (None of which I confess to having time to read), so I guess this Fascination runs in the Family..heh!
I'm aware of the Term "Singularity" being used for Origin of the Universe..and for the "Seed" of a Black Hole. Here..as the Definition seemed to be used..it's for When Artificial Intelligence (& the Machinery, ie Robotics) EQUALS Man's Ability.."They Equal US, & US Equals THEM." (&..heh..from That Historical Point ON, They're CAPABLE of being SUPERIOR to Us..hence the "Worries" that go WITH That.)
I heard yesterday about that "Arsenic-Based Life"...& as a Sci-Fi reader you're aware of the Predictions that Silicon-Based life might exist too.
What I find Historically-Fascinating is how "Primitive" we view Our Grandparents..most of whom were raised on The Family Farm..or very Nearby..who watched Civilization prettymuch go from an Agrararian-Based Society..to the Urban One of today.
Our Grandkids'll prolly look back at US as being "Primitive" 'cuz WE "Thought Globally"..drove Hydrocarbon-Powered Vehicles, and watched 2-D TV from Picture Tubes..that only got 3 Stations.
I'm more than a little-certain Our Government..and a lot of Others..already KNOWS there's "Life Out There"... WHY we're not better-informed is Anyone's Guess.
Thanks for Your Kind Visit & Words, Amigo! Best Seasonal Wishes & a Big Guy-Hug, Stan
