That sure sounds promising, but again we don't know how soon we will learn how to use the information to rewrite instructions.
I can recall the discovery of DNA and RNA in the 60s. The two scientists that made the discovery won the Nobel. It has taken nearly 40 years to map the human genome and over 30 to start using human dna to solve crimes and identify individuals.
How long before they can re instruct genes to cure disease, replicate cells, create super humans and even turn off the biological clock that causes us to age.
It could be centuries, decades or it could be less. It may come in dribbles or as impossible as it seems, it could all come together for our children. Fusion, quantum mechanics, genetics, if we keep our nose clean, we might be on the brink of becoming a godlike species.
Sure is fun to speculate.
