By skyforbes My original prompt: "I heard someone say "physics holds more than we’ve accessed." how much more?"
Also, how does one go about validating anything chatGPT says?
🌌 How much more does physics hold?
Right now, human technology uses only a tiny slice of physical possibility.
Here’s a simplified map:
| Layer of Reality | Human Tech Status | What We Haven’t Touched Yet |
|---|---|---|
| Classical mechanics | Mastered | Fully explored |
| Electromagnetism | Very advanced | Room left (metamaterials, quantum EM) |
| Quantum mechanics | Barely using | Quantum topology, exotic matter, engineered vacuum |
| Relativity & spacetime | Theorized | No engineering yet |
| Quantum Gravity (bridge of QM + Relativity) | Unknown | Vast unexplored territory |
| Dark Matter / Dark Energy | No engineering | ~95% of the universe is a blank slate |
| Beyond Standard Model physics | Unknown | Entire landscapes of undiscovered rules |
👉 We are using maybe 4–5% of the universe in engineering terms.
The rest is unexplored engineering substrate.
So the honest answer:
