RE: Soon Knowledge will double every 12hours! Futurism | My ideas!
hey! cool topic. Just interested as what you define "knowledge" to be? If you say knowledge can double, what is the unit of knowledge? I agree with you though that in many scientific fields, such as computer science, we are deepening our knowledge quite fast, but other fields, like physics, have been stagnant for several years now. In physics we still deal with Newtonian mechanics, which are nearly 300 years old!
its a good question, I evaluate it as how much information we collectively have on everything as a whole. It's hard to explain but imagine going back 1000s years and you had google on your phone but no-one else did. You would come across as a very knowledgeable person right? of course it depends on how much you personally can take in but overall you would be a lot more advanced. If that makes any sense?? also today your right, it depends on the field. but overall collectively knowledge is exponentially growing because of some the factors i mentioned! hope that answered your question and thanks for commenting man :)
Yes thanks :)! I agree that collectively knowledge really is growing.
