Is there a limit to technological progress?

1)

Fill the gap: Many generations have felt they’ve reached the

________________________ of technological advancement.
2)

Fill the gap: The tiny amount of energy we currently use

________________________ next to what we leave untapped.
3)

Fill the gap: We currently only ________________________ about 15

terrawatts of it, mostly by burning solar energy stored in fossil
fuels.
4)

Fill the gap: The Earth gets only a ________________________ of the

Sun's energy, while the rest of its 400 yottawatts is wasted in
dead space.
5)

Fill the gap: British cosmologist John Barrow

________________________ civilizations by the size of objects they
control.
6)

Fill the gap: We currently touched the atomic level, though our
control remains limited. But we could ________________________ go
much smaller in the future.
7)

Fill the gap: To get a sense of the extent to which that's true:
the observable universe is 26 ________________________ larger than
a human body.
8)

Fill the gap: Precision on a smaller scale lets us use energy

more efficiently, and ________________________ new energy sources
like nuclear fusion or even anti-matter.
9)
Fill the gap: A truly advanced civilization, then, would harness
both ________________________ energy and subatomic technologies.
10)

Fill the gap: If we find a Dyson sphere around a distant star,

that's a pretty ________________________ sign of life.
11)

Fill the gap: Frighteningly enough, we've observed super dense

celestial bodies about the size of a planet that
________________________ the energy out of a much bigger star.
