back in the day of tesla , edison, stienmetz farraday is proof that the education system is totally fucked up and fucked around today not only that but the mentality of people

our leaps in technology were done in those days tesla only had raw steel copper, wood and wire to work with,  they had real hads on knowledge not idiotic quantamn theory quantam insanity nonsense floating around there textbooks as a distraction

Dude.... They didn't have calculators either. All math calculations had to be done with pencils & paper

Yes, because the Kepler space telescope, the Hubble space telescope, the (soon to be launched) James Webb telescope, the moon landing, mars rover explorers, the LHC, etc.. etc... are not hands-on and are completely stagnant to our knowledge of the universe around us 
The people working on these projects are the result of education, not necessarily American education, but education nonetheless.

Perhaps you should get your hands on a textbook, or at least use Google to find out the current HANDS ON research out there.

And as for new technologies, you understand that if we figure out how quantum physics allows us to have 2 particles become entangled, we can create a communication device that would allow us to communicate at a rate faster than that of the speed of light. Another theoretical discovery is anti-matter. It is theoretical today, but in the next 100 years we may harness it to create anti-matter engines which will allow us to explore other star systems or even galaxies!
Knowledge is not stagnant. Only people who don't know the current events of physics, astronomy, chemistry, mathematics and biology THINK that we are stagnant. At some point, electromagnetic fields were also a theory, but people like Tesla and Edison harnessed that power to make it a reality. This is exactly what is happening now except on a grander scale. If we still had to work with raw materials as Tesla did, we would be stuck in the pre-industrial era.

Don't be so sensitive.

Haven't you seen event horizon?  The use of fancy/shmancy anti-matter engines will open the interdimensional gateway to hell and the ship will gain consciousness and attempt to transport everyone that boards it to hell.

Goddamn scientists so quick to theorize but never stopping to ask *what possible bad could come of this?*

Someday theyll invent/discover something that will rend tbe fabric if the universe and undo all existence or something equally horrific and they'll charge forward headfirst until were all dying before they say "hmmm, maybe we should have stopped and thought about that one a little more......'

Maybe they will rip a hole in the fabric of time in Africa and cure world hunger and poverty in one fell swoop.

You should use the time you save by not posting and get an education and then maybe even a job.
