...no i do not forsee beating the arrow of time. it seems too full of
serious logic problems. i wager it is one of those foundations of reality
within which we must operate.

...a very nice post rhino. i would also wager that notions such as
these
are the reason that other intelligent life forms outside of our solar
system
arent to be found galavanting around in little star-trek style space
ships
for more than say 500 yrs or so in their species lifetime. what will
we do
when we control everything? even if we cant actually do something, we
will
be able to convince our brains that we have. once we completely master
biology and most of physics, what will we do? will sport and
competition
still remain? it's a very interesting question. will a species-wide
apathy
kick in when we finally fit the last important peices to the grand
jigsaw
puzzle together? what would be left? "death moment energy
physics(tm)"?
[Blunderov] You too, Dr Sebby - lovely post.
My thought is that even if all that remains is the arrow-of-time, the
struggle must continue.
But perhaps you envision dominion over even this?
Best Regards.

...perhaps if easter island residents had spent their time and resources
developing their island's capacity to sustain them, and not building giant
stone sculptures, they would still be around.
...and offhand i would wager that colonization of the moon might happen
within 50 yrs, mars in 100 yrs, and other systems perhaps within 200yrs.
one big issue is controlling gravitational effects limiting acceleration of
spacecraft.
...we seem to be in a discovery-fest these days revolving around
infrastructure -> bio-tech & biology, computer science, and other tools
which will easier permit such grand undertakings as space exploration and
colonization. without mastering these first, subsequent missions would
surpass earlier attempts so significantly that we'd have the sad example of
one interstellar program surpassed 10 fold by another program launched 30
yrs later. it would be pretty depressing to be on a 25 yr interstellar
journey and hear in a years old communique that a new program will be
launching another ship that blows your technology away, and has already
passed you by.

Another explanation : “island theory”. Look at what happened to Easter
Island.
If there's overpopulation, and the system cannot sustain the people,
sometimes the system can break down.
Most likely, we will need to begin populating another planet within the next
50 years, or we will suffer from “stagnation”.
