>>13899528I'm from a year after 2100, but before 2200.
I haven't been able to progress you guys any faster.
Your society is constructed in such a way as to prevent undue influence by radical outliers, at this time.
I am unsure of the direct catalytic cause, but I have reason to believe that this timeline is under direct guidance.
Those of you willing to listen to my advice, the next major breakthroughs that have an effect on progressing society as a whole, (on the level of the Industrial Revolution) are energy storage and distribution related.
Solid State High Density Kinetic-Potential Force Batteries that replace Lithium-Ion Technology
In my original timeline (This one is already divergent, but technological advancement is similar enough...) a student group from North Carolina State University combines material science research, piezoelectric polymer research, and distributed computing. (Some of the students were in Bioinformatics and were actually working on protein folding projects) There was a handful of motivated material science majors that wanted to make a material for bullet proofing, and they found the next step in energy storage instead. I don't remember any names from this, since I am not American, but the University became very popular because of it.
I read an article about it once, online.
The other breakthrough is Fusion with net energy production. That eventually happens from a very advanced Tokamak design that utilized the energy storage breakthrough that I mentioned above.
I'm not able to discuss any details about what I am attempting to accomplish in this timeline.
This will be my only post here.
