According to the guys that I talked to who were drilling a new well for the Sands convention center the idea that the Las Vegas Valley is out of water is complete horseshit. Working for an independent well drilling company located in the Pacific northwest drilling a new well for the Sands the workers doing the drilling stated to me that there is literally an ocean of water underneath the Las Vegas valley. And I also know this for a fact, so much water percolates up underneath the Las Vegas Hilton from underground springs that every couple of days sump pumps that water out. It then flows down Joe W Brown Boulevard and into the Las Vegas wash.
The Devils hole. The infinity room. Yep huge amounts of water under the desert out there.

Technically there were more horses on the road than cars until just before WWI and the first F-22 hit the skies barely 100 years later.

It took about 40 years or less from horses to put the first jet fighter in the air. What has your generation don? :D

No thoughts yourself?

My though is less dependance on Religion and more on Science.

If whatever God you worship controls everything then why research anything.
There’s a mathematical model that tracks technological achievements that clearly shows the progression. The rate that technology accelerates doubles much faster all the time along a roughly parabolic curve.

The exceptions being periods of huge destruction brought about largely by wars that destroy civilizations, both religion and greed motivated. Think Persia, Greece, Rome, etc.

The difference now is that wars usually don’t destroy civilizations and tend to accelerate technology along a certain path, that usually isn’t health and longevity related.

My Grandfather was born in 1919. Bought his first car at age 12 for $2. He could drive from Burlington Iowa to Ft Madison Iowa (20ish miles) and never see another car. Claimed people would run out of thier homes to wave at him.

When he enlisted prior to WW2, he was assigned as a mechanic to a Armored Calvary unit. His first uniforms included "Saddle Britches" as they had just become "Mechanized".

Awesome!

The distance between people waving at him in his new fangled horseless contraption to seeing his first F100 split the sky and the sound barrier is only about 30 years.
