This has to do with 12/21/2012.
Population, technology, food and materials production, communications capabilities, miniaturization, speed of travel, and many other things, are all increasing at what is known as an accelerating rate; that is, they are increasing and the rate at which they are increasing is also increasing. A group of mathematicians has plotted graphs of all of humanity's major developments and projected them out to where they all, more or less simultaneously hit infinity. Guess what that date is---12/21/2012!
Now, we need to remember that this is only a mathematical model. I have not seen or made sense of any of the graphs. (Maybe it's because I'm no mathematician! :lol:
According to the mathematical model, we should see approximately *61* more of these species-changing developments before 12/21/2012! All of the same magnitude as the three noted above! Again, it's only a model, but they predict 18 of those changes on the last day, and 13 of _those_ to happen in the last FRACTION OF A SECOND, as things accelerate towards that infinity point.
So far, according to the some theorists, we have definitely experienced 3 species changing events: we learned how to farm about 35,000 years ago. About 350 years ago, we learned to mass produce technology. About 35 years ago, we learned to miniaturize electronics, such as computers.
