问题     Like the population explosion, the scientific and technological revolution began to pick up speed slowly during the eighteenth century. And this ongoing revolution has also suddenly accelerated exponentially. For example, it is now an axiom in many fields of science that more new and important discoveries have taken place in the last ten years than in the entire previous history of science. While no single discovery has had the kind of effect on our relationship to the earth that nuclear weapons have had on our relationship to warfare, it is nevertheless true that taken together, they have completely transformed our cumulative ability to exploit the earth for sustenance—making the consequences of unrestrained exploitation every bit as unthinkable as the consequences of unrestrained nuclear war.
选项
答案 18世纪，正像人口激增一样，科技革命开始缓慢加速，而且同样有一个突然的指数级的加速。譬如：现在很多科学领域都存在这样一个公理，即过去十年的重要发现要胜过之前的整个科学历史。虽然没有一项发明足以像核武器影响我们与战争的关系那样影响我们与地球的关系，但它们综合起来，却已经把我们所积聚的能力完全转化成对地球的开发，以维持我们的生计。与无限制的核战争一样，这种无限制的开发所带来的后果难以想象。
