    inevitably can be 100 years from now, or 1000 years from now when we setup a dyson sphere. Inevitably is too vague.

      Then so is the question. The answer is yes. The specifics and timeline are what people disagree on.

        You’re just being anal about phrasing. “in a reasonable amount of time” or “before this bubble bursts” are clearly implied

          I’m with the other person on this one. The question is stupidly vague. Whereas “ever” isn’t very productive, neither is “live up to its hype” - that could mean anything, depending on whoms hype you follow.

          All in all, this feels live a clickbait circlejerk article.

            Well it’s an opinion column, not an article, so I wouldn’t go into it expecting quality journalism in the first place.
