    I said time, not rate.

  • @SSJkiller I just googled it, and I see no remotely credible evidence. And by the way, you are completely incorrect on what you think the technological singularity is. The rate between major advancements is exponentially increasing, not decreasing.

  • @sug15

    Google "technological singularity december 21". They've even predicted the time. Whether or not you believe it is your choice, though.

  • @SSJkiller no, i mean where did you hear that mathematicians calculated the day will be december 21?

  • @sug15

    Look up Moore's Law and the Technological Singularity.

  • @Trisscarro

    I'm not talking about the mayans.

  • @SSJkiller if the Mayans could predict the end of the earth millennia away they could CERTAINLY predict the spanish conquers wiping out their civilization.

  • @SSJkiller where did you hear that?

  • The scary thing is, this applies to the rate at which the human population is making new advancements... The time between major advancements is exponentially decreasing, and mathematicians calculated that the point of chaos will be reached in.... december 21, 2012.

    I'm scared :(
