Since the arrival of LIDAR, which is, I think, ground penetrating radar, zapping right past layers of jungle growth and accumulated dirt and rocks for hundreds of years, perhaps thousands, for future discoveries, and incredible expanses of sand in the deserts, even amateur archeologists can use their computers in their own homes and locate structures the modern world has never seen, buried far below the surface!
Unbelievable! At the same time technology for astronomers is supercharged, too.
It has to be the very best possible time for people in these fields, with a whole new universe waiting to be found!
I think a lot of earlier "historians" are going to have to eat their words concerning ancient Latin American civilizations once really intensive discover develops. I have ever belief that the crap passed on about the nature and behavior of the "natives" the invaders massacred and tortured in such numbers is going to be entirely revealed as a massive, embarrassing lie, concocted to justify their astonishing abuse of the people who lived in the conquered lands which were stolen from them.
We all have a lot to look forward to, if the right wing doesn't outlaw science!
Thank you, Deuxcents, very much.
