Your question reminds me of the time in the 19th Century when they wanted to close the U.S. Patent office because "everything that could be invented had already been invented."
Think back: If you lived in the year 1901 and someone told you that we would be able to see moving pictures on a glass screen mounted in a box and placed in our homes would you have believed him or her? If you lived in 1930 and someone told you that we would be able to sit in our homes and communicate instantly with people around the world? If you lived in 1950 and someone told you that someday leprosy would be completely cureable?
Probably not. Instead you would have thought this individual (at the very least) very, very eccentric if not outright insane.
There are things beyond our ability to conceive that await discovery.

Probably not. I believe people had that thought 100 year ago. They throught everything that could be invented was.
