"The Event Horizon"...and The Singularity- Dig, a simple mathematical series, 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32 +1/64+1/128+, ... You might think that if you keep on adding more terms to the series, each one half the size of the preceding term, you could make the final sum as large as you liked... however, no matter how many terms you add, the sum will never quite reach 2. It will get closer and closer to 2, but never actually get there. The series is said to tend towards a limit (in this case the limit is 2). In a similar way, if major developments continue to occur in shorter and shorter times, there will be a corresponding time limit to our evolutionary progress. This does not mean there will be a limit to how much evolution we can experience...rather, we would find ourselves evolving so fast that we experienced an unimaginable degree of evolution within a finite time... We're accelerating toward...the Singularity!
