There is a time for everything.

Everyone has been alloted a time frame, to achieve something.
What is "something" ?
What is the time frame ?
What the purposes of achieving ?

Those kind of questions were asked, when I has attained some maturity of thinking. Which means, a part of my alloted time has been "unproductive".

Thanks to the advance of Science, medical and technicity, my life span has been enlarged. That's I can prove, without any doubt.

Without entering into the murking waters of Philosophy, which is quite difficult to grasp and to prove, I will stay with observations and ciphers.

How Science and its application have taken such phenomenal level, in such a short time ?

I am a technical by profession. I have used, developed technical devices.
I have been a witness and an actor in those fields since the beginning of their inception.

The key point is information spreading, widely available to everyone.

Information conveys new ideas, new desires to learn, repeat, understand, improve and create. Order in unimportant here.

I remember the old days, where gathering information was quite a "parcours de combattant", if you are not in a university.

Cold wars, dictate that any sensible technical informations were severely controlled.

Even lenient information was available, I have had a hard time to have access. Why ? Suspicion, trade secrets, unwillingness to share knowledge (the "I know more than you" syndrome"). I behaved like this as well !

When I have had time to spare, I study every interesting subject I knew of.
At least, where I could put a hand on it. And as everyone, I wanted to "invent" new ideas, to please my mind.

One of the questions I used to ask to myself: How and why does it happen ? Present tense on purpose.

I am sure, that many people have studied the subject. That is, more than I can think of.

For the time being, I will offer my opinion on the subject.

1) At the beginning, very few illustrious persons, started to think, experiment out of sheer curiosity.
2) The money makers (capitalists) took up the ideas, discoveries.
3) Money makers and consumers are definitely married.
4) The producers+consumers, are fertiled as rabbits: Fibonacci numbers
. So far so good. More consumers are needed, so medical arsenal makes great jumps.
5) Human population (producers+consumers) explodes. By combinatorics and statiscal, a greater "chance" to have more talentuous individuals.
6) More talentous individuals, well fed , educated, more time to dream.
7) More time to dream, more chance to find new "things".
8) New things, new realistical idealism can be achieved.
9) New idealism, new society conception.
10) New society conception, more chance for Human to last.


Conclusion: partially

To sum up.

Let's take a sphere, suppose that one individual or group of individuals can only see a part of the sphere.
How long this individual or group can explore the whole sphere ?

Let's suppose that time is at odds, how could this one group find the response to save his neck ?

Let's suppose that same group is homogeneous, share the same set of mental, skills, but still be formed in the same mold. Will be it able to cross the mold, changing its way of thinking, in time ?

Let's suppose that by putting more groups of varied molding structure into play and setting those varied groups all around the sphere. Of course, there must exist a way of communications in order to exchange information between those groups. Isn't it more efficient ?

The sphere in question can be anything. It's the philosophical stone, the Graal of knowledge.
Sorry, I have said that I don't want to put any methaphysical subject.
