Once a tech is invented, it cannot be un-invented.

Number of doomsday techs created will increase exponentially with the technologies available.

Man-made doomsday techs are more threatening than most of natural disasters.

A single person with some doomsday tech can have a power of a state or whole world hundred years ago.

• People should stop research on dangerous techs. Shouldn’t they?

• But how?

How to Stop?

• Before a tech appears, how do you know it is dangerous or not?

• When you know a tech is dangerous, it is often already out there and cannot be un-invented.

• For a doomsday tech, what if ‘good’ guys stop further research while ‘bad’ guys refuse to stop?

• Are we capable to control what we are capable to create?

• Are we opening a Pandora’s box? (or are we ourselves coming from an opened Pandora’s box?)

• Among the five doomsday techs, which one is most dangerous and threatening to the human beings? Which is least threatening?
