How the Edge of Our Galaxy Defies Known Physics

Genetic manipulation to enhance cognitive function will produce humans with IQ's in ranges thought to be impossible.  They will in turn advance the technology further and further, each generation more capable,  until what we know as modern man will look more like cavemen look to us now, but in a matter of 150 years.   They will lead our world with breakthroughs that will bring permanent world peace and they will expand the domain of man to the farthest corners of the universe.  This is the only way forward, humans as we are now are just too limited and we will only progress so far and that progress will take far too long to prevent the inevitable world wars that are brewing as I write this as more and more people compete for fewer and fewer resources. The natural fear is that there will be another class of humans that will become our masters, perhaps, but we are doomed anyway.  We must try.
