One Way Out: Explosive Growth of Technology and Enterprise

Brian Wang's blog NextBigFuture is one of the best all around sources of information on disruptive technologies -- technologies that have the potential to turn the established world upside down. There is only one way to dig out from under the massive governmental mismanagement of the modern era -- and that is via disruptive technologies which will make governments unnecessary.

One of Brian's recent articles deals with "The Mach Effect."

One-G constant acceleration and deceleration space drive would mean Earth-to-moon in 4 hours, Earth to Mars in 2-5 days, Earth to Saturn in 8-9 days.

If the Mach Effect is real [mass fluctations) and behaves as theorized (with some experimental confirmation) by James Woodward and the effect scales up as expected then we can create reactionless drive. _NextBigFuture

You can imagine the disruptive effects of fast travel throughout the solar system. Of course, if such reactionless drives actually pan out, they open the door to interstellar travel in under a decade, rather than a multiple generation timespan requirement. Under such a space propulsion regime, the "limits to growth" would be nonexistent.

If there is a way out from the quagmire, it is via shocking new technologies which will free us from the oppressive stagnation of mega-governments and their ever grasping tentacles of control, taxation, and ruinous incompetence.
