An invention of an energy device that can support further space exploration, allowing life to spread to other planets, will greatly reduce the
possibility that the human species can go extinct and will ensure our evolution. Obviously if our
species, and even significant transplants of other members of our biosphere,
are seeded on a large number of other planets, it will be less likely that
problems on one planet can completely eliminate the entire species across all
planets. There are suns with planets close to our solar system that can
be reached in as little as four years if energy can be produced from the
constantly changing structured vacuum.
So
extremely low cost energy and the replacement of carbon fuels and nuclear
energy will turn out to have been just cute and nice and helpful by comparison
to how an invention of this magnitude will impact space travel and the seeding of highly
conscious life and ultra technology throughout our region of the cosmos.
If you believe in the basic tenants of special
relativity, then you have to acknowledge that if our species does
not destroy itself or our culture of modern science, then exponential
technological evolution takes us to a place unrecognizable in 100 years and
then 1,000 years and so on. And per special relativity, each of those
times and sets of events EXISTS NOW just forward in the preexisting fabric of
spacetime. It's a bizarre thought to realize that special relativity has
been tested and the idea that the future exists concurrent with the now is
agreed on by nearly all physicists. What is far more debated is whether
or not what little we know about quantum non-locality would permit
communication with such futures.

University have announced a company that is going to mine space for resources.
