INVINCIBLE SPECIES
The Human species seems to be an incredible miracle in the known Universe. Its birth itself is filled with uncountable coincidences coming together - distance from the Sun-not too far not too near in miles-having an atmosphere-having ozone layer-water-oxygen-crust above water-manageable weather system-the list would go on and on. Human body is also an incredible miracle. The engineering is astounding. Amazing coding. millions of processes each with one or multiple purpose/s on autopilot. We will master it and better it in the future though increasing our lifespans by multiples. We do have so many species on our planet but none have shown the pace at which human intelligence has developed. Who knows we may be the most intelligent species in the universe - despite that being unlikely due to the sheer number of planets in the universe- but is a possibility.
Humans are at a very early development stage - still quite immature on the whole - running around with an inefficient economic system that generates millions who suffer and other millions who are comfortably numb to their suffering - selfishness-jealousies-wars over beliefs and artificial borders-disrupting the ecosystem for short term gains. We may outgrow most of these but overall maturity is still a long way away.
We are also incredibly vulnerable today. Earth itself is filled with hot lava whose explosion to the top beyond a certain quantum can cause extinction. Loss of magnetic field or ozone layer can also do the same. Whatever little that we have studied about the universe -it seems to be filled with violent events that are incomprehensible in size and intensity-any of these can destroy a small planet like ours in a flash. Having said that if we can survive from our own fallacies and all extinction causing events for a few thousand years then one staggering thing stands out: We have the potential to achieve an ability to become invincible. What is that thing?
Ans: Our ability to manipulate matter.
Current stage although may still be mind boggling when we can flatten a city by manipulating uranium at an atomic level is at an equivalent of cavemen era. Look at the power in matter in the Universe. So tiny that we can't see with naked eye -yet harbors enough power to cause such a violent explosion that it can wipe out a city. This is yet a minor accomplishment on the road to mastering manipulation of matter. In the future we will reach a point (if we survive till then) where we will be able to build a Sun to replace ours-transform entire planets and make them habitable. Change the orbits of planets. increase or decrease the heat of the Sun like a light bulb. For example: building of another sister planet in our orbit. We will be able to build billions of bots that will on their own mine astral bodies and converge at designated spot in our orbit to construct a new planet. Intelligent bots that would talk to each other like ants building an ant hill with each having a scale architecture of the end design and playing their part in filling the puzzle. We will be able to change properties of all known materials and build new materials due to this ability. We could create a chain reaction that would change the atmosphere of a planet. Build force fields that would protect us from astral violence. The way we have adapted to our planet and are able to disrupt various natural elements-we would be able to do that in the Universe-although a tiny part of the Universe. All this would seem unfathomable at this stage in our evolution but we have this potential in us and may survive till we reach that stage of technology maturity. A tiny sized species on a tiny planet in a small solar system in a small galaxy has the potential to become invincible.
