This is something I have been thinking about since the Olympics... at what point will it not be possible for human beings to swim or run any faster. There has to be a point where the human body just can't go any faster, no matter how much you train, what kind of things you put into your body (legal or not), etc.
I mean it isn't possible to swim a 400 IM, for example, in 2 seconds (at least I don't think it ever will be) so where does it end? And when will that happen?

That's an interesting concept to think about. I had never thought about that before, so of course it got me thinking and this is what I came up with (just in case anyone wanted to know my 2 cents). I think that eventually "natural" records will cease to exsist. Times will become so unbreakable they won't be able to be beaten without some sort of enhancement. Your right, the human body can only be pushed so far without help. I hate to think of that being the case. But I think as long as the records can be broken naturally, they will be.

p.s. and of course, the math prof. baffles all of us with logic:eek:
