   I have doubts on 'anti-gravity'. It'd require 'un-bending'
   spacetime. If it doesn't require as much energy to unbend
   then 'perpetual motion' machines become possible.

   As for paradigms ... we're still kinda using Babbage's
   machine - nice orderly distinct steps at a time. Going
   parallel, well, it's just multiple Babbage approaches
   stapled together. 'Quantum', if they can ever deal
   with the error issues, may be a glimpse at that
   'next paradigm'.

   The practical limit for "IQ" measurement is
   around 200 - and even that's getting up into
   error territory. "IQ" is ok for maybe 70 to
   140. That fits for MOST people.
