The technology end game.
| Just the whole humanity to die out
| Anything post-scarcity would be good enough for me.
| The stereo cassette player was the peak tbh.
Jokes aside, I think the peak would be making breakthroughs on quantum computing and similar tech and AIs (anything from natural language processing to completely unassisted machine learning...)
If we are able to have a sufficiently powerful computing platform and a sufficiently powerful/independent AI we are set for anything.
| I think conquering nuclear energy or something that would allow us to have a near infinite amount of dispensible energy
| Prediction of all future events, and realise that everything is determinated, and that on our choices doesn't depends anymore
| An energy2matter converter.
| >>752647 quantum computers already exists, but quantum theories and application isn't end yet, probably first basic is link each other quantum theory and theory of relativity

They don't exist. Prototypes exists on paper but no Turing complete quantum computer has ever been built.
If you're genuinely interested, the following is a good introduction to some of the big problems with quantum computing. Long, but written in a way that non-specialists can follow. (Though a certain level of technical engineering understanding will help):

| What would you consider the end game development of technology? Bionic upgrades (especially optical)? FTL travel/warp portals? Planet busting weapons? Artificial Intelligence?
