I'm sure this information will have a significant affect on humanity. It probably won't be while I'm alive but almost certainly it will be long into the future when you and I are dead and can't verify if it had any affect at all. Almost certainly! Anything is possible in the future! Who can argue with that?

I said nothing of the sort. I've expressed nothing except excitement about this discovery!
