Citat:
"Certain innovations serve as catalysts for each other - creating a positive feedback cycle. Eventually a technology becomes inevitable. It's managing the transition that's critical. Fusion and quantum computing are good examples. Improved reactor designs were made possible by computer simulations of nonlinearly coupled phenomena in the core plasma, edge plasma, and wall regions of reactor prototypes. The vast energy from fusion made more powerful computers possible. And more powerful computers, better fusion reactor designs. They are symbiotic. Gravity modification will be another key symbiotic technology."
He nudged Grady along to the next exhibit. "I wanted to show you this gallery because these are the advances that will one day transform human civilization."
"And you’re keeping them secret? Even your own fusion work?"
"We prefer to think of it as safeguarding them. Preparing the world for the massive changes these innovations will bring about. A sudden influx of innovation could disrupt social order, and disruption of social order is not to be taken lightly, Grady."
