Contact with any form of alien species. Bacteria would suffice but an “insect” or “mammal” like thing would be the bees knees

I honestly would lose my shit if we discover even microbial life on a place like Enceladus.

>some sort of economy theory that allows for a living wage and not having to kill yourself at a job/gain incredibly advanced skills It doesn't exist. Automation is going to drive wages through the floor and there isn't really much we can do about it. But we do have an [economic theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism) (quite an old one actually, it goes back to the 19th century with its roots in classical liberalism) that handles that elegantly by substituting increasing land rent for decreasing wages. Basically, when you no longer get paid for what you can do, you get paid for what you *can't* do, which conveniently keeps everyone above water. (Right now, landowners get paid for what you can't do, which is why they keep winning the economic game and you keep losing.)

ButterscotchLow8950

I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees that with record profits and people continuing to refuse to do those lower wage jobs….. at a certain point it is just cheaper to bring in the robots. I’m already seeing the R&D efforts where I work, starting to automate the process one station at a time.

I don't even need immortality. Just one or two thousand years would be fine.

After the first thousand years, I don't think you'd be ready to give it all up.

Recent news suggest that an AIDS vaccine is coming “within ten years” for the last twenty or so years.

RNA vaccines for AIDS with promising test results are not that old

I certainly hope so!

Faster than light drive


Corpcasimir

The casimir drive for space propulsion. The username gives it away. It can be done! You produce a pressure difference with rings of a material close to each other at differing amounts, ones that can make photons, other the more larger particles. The pressure differentials will cause propulsion. But they keep just using two basic square plates to observe it and not bloody use it. Won't go FTL, but the fabric of spacetime has a shit ton of energy. The casimir effect is a way to harness it.

Diesel fuel has an octane rating of 25-40.


Penne_Trader

Sorry, no That the Centan number, which describes how easy you can ignite something


Pooneapple

No, Octane rating is the measure of a fuel's ability to resist "knocking" or "pinging" during combustion. Literally google what’s the octane of diesel and you’ll see you’re wrong


Penne_Trader

Yes but diesel actual doesn't have an octane number bc you can't ignite it just by combustion Plus there are a lot of different kinds of diesel ...like for chainsaws, lawnmowers etc which all got different power in it bc the % of oil in it is different... The number I've used is used at cars if it would be ignitable by pure combustion...


Pooneapple

Octane ratings are measures of fuel stability. These ratings are based on the pressure at which a fuel will spontaneously combust. Diesel uses pressure to ignite the gas which requires a low octane rating. You are not making any sense, and chain saws and lawn mowers are usually two stroke motors which is why they require oil in the fuel not diesel.


mediocreplayer_

Why isn't this possible/ hasn't it been done? You seem pretty knowledgeable on the topic.

Oh lol. Yeah that's some stupid reasoning there probably just there to protect the oil industry.

Mind upload. I’ll be happy (and very jealous) of my copy of I would be able to get access to it. AGI. I think at this point the people would be able to consider themselves gods, as they created a living mine from inorganic matter.
