Default Re: OT: What if we live in a infinite resources world like in SE4?

Quote:
Living space. This has been the principal driving force for most earth conquest. There's plenty of space on Earth, we just don't want to stand shoulder to shoulder like on that Star Trek episode.
I think resoruces (land/foods for the old day and oil/rare minerals for today) is the main reason for conquest on Earth.
Will people change their mind if they aleardy get infinite resoruce?

Quote:

I'm not scientist, someone please tell me,
Does infinite energy = infinite resource?
Can we use energy to make things? (change the molecule?)
I always assumed so.

Does that means infinite foods?
enoguh food for everyone on Earth?

Quote:

Because economy is based on "Everyone share limited resource", will our economic collapse in a infinite resoruce world?
Will our scientists continue to find out / discovery new thing after that?
or no one will work because we had unlimited resource?
Collapse? No. Alter significantly? Yes. Continue to work? Probably.

does infinite resource = infinite money?
why do we need money if everyone get infinite of anything? economy based on money.

Quote:

What if not everyone on Earth can get unlimited resource?
Will they share this technology to everyone since they will not missing something?
"infinite divided by any number still equal infinite"?!
Probably not, that's why people will still need to work. To acquire new advances, to distibute more items. Doctors without borders, and the new Bill Gates initiative are advancing the science of getting benefits spread around

Good to hear that.

Thank you.
