Science a GoGo's Home Page Forums General Discussion Not-Quite-Science Forum so much time

Taking into consideration all the time that has passed on this earth has anyone ever thought that what we think is new technology may not be so new?I mean, did it take a billion years for man to be smart enough to create the technology we currently use? How many civilizations have came to an end leaving no trace of history? How can we know for sure they didnt already have some things such as phones or computers, or whatever? Sounds far out there hu, I know.But it cannot be dismissed.What if people already experimented with cloning a very long time ago?Dinosaurs could have been a result of genetic mutations or mixing maybe a mad scientist could have created a accident, if so could it happen again?

Yes Jondo1976 , time is on going, but life and creation is cyclic and therefore many of this cycles have gone and more to come.In each cycle mankind must have had new technology. We are currently at the beginning of the last phase of the 4 part-cycle. This last phase is called (Kali-Yug) and will last approx. 420,000 years (5,111 years already elapsed)
