The Singularity

[Adam]

I was not sure where to post it, but as it concerns humanity and our place in the universe, I chose this sub-forum.

Fromt he Abstract:

Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended.

What comments have you on this Singularity idea?

[Phobos]

Not really astronomy or cosmology. I'll move this to Other Sciences.

[Another God]

My idea is that I can't have an idea about it.

The singularity is, by its very nature, completely unknowable. There is no way we could possibly know what life will be like after such an explosion of potentialities....
