It's easy when you look back at the history of science and be like, oh, A, B, C, D, E, because we tend to linearize it.

We tend to think of like the progression from where we were to where we are as like a single path.

But science is like constantly branching and exploring.

And we later pick the one path that brought us to this understanding that

But it's filled with scientists going the wrong direction and playing around with stuff.

And nobody knows who's going to be the one to hit the jackpot, right?

So what do things look like today?

We have to play alternate history.

Let's say that happened 100 years earlier.

Yeah.

What do Einstein and Bohr and Heisenberg and what... So that's 100 years ahead.

Where would we be now?

What would they have been working on?

Yeah.

You know, I wish I knew.

The easiest thing to say is that our understanding of the quantum realm would be 100 years further advanced.

That'd be nice.

You know, that's incredible.

Like, I'd love to leap forward 100 years.

But much more importantly...
