The '''Twin Nuclei Problem of Cell and Atom''' is the recognition that having gained the power to manipulate genetic and atomic nuclei between 1952 and 1953, humanity is now in possession of unprecedented destructive power, and thus capable of self-extinction. All human civilization is now one massive correlated experiment, and any sufficiently large event may be enough to end it.

As for the decision trees: if humanity is to have a future greater than 500 years with fusion devices and other horrors, what must happen?  
As for the decision trees: if humanity is to have a future greater than 500 years with fusion devices and other horrors, what must happen?  
A) A great run of luck must occur.
B) An outbreak of unprecidented wisdom happens.
C) We upload into silicon.
D) We stabilize the environment and grow all markets so no one has reason to want.
E) We move to the moon, mars and a few spacestations to diversity which is sufficient.
F) We escape the solar system with new physics.
G) We establish universal surveilance so no surprises can occur.
H) We terminate shortly.
Note that all of the above....ALL...are crazy. There are no non-crazy possibilities.
