Intelligence explosion shockwave propagates from math → physical sciences → planetary systems, Dyson swarm by early 2030s.

Intelligence explosion shockwave propagates from math → physical sciences → planetary systems, Dyson swarm by early 2030s. | All right. So the idea with this chapter is spelling out a future timeline for how a call it a wavefront of the explosive shock of the intelligence explosion was going to propagate through from math which we talk about on the pod all the time over the next couple of years to the physical world, physics, chemistry, material science, biology and then through the end of the decade toward planetary systems, fision, fusion, the Dyson swarm by the early 2030s.
