What's the limit on human potential ?

Let's say we did intense training and selective breeding or somehow knew what 100% of the DNA does. We could end up with guys that can lift a ton or see a bullet coming. But what's the limit really ?

You have to look at the components that could fail. With super str you have tendons, bones and muscle that will fail at high loads.

As with reaction maybe some computer system could help with detecting fast moving objects and sending a direct message to the section of the brain that controlled movement and decision making.

I was mostly wondering what could fail. Bones get harder, the brain gets more control over the body etc. If that improved with each generation I wonder what's the limit we'll reach, like it's impossible to get better than that.

Do research on human anatomy if you want to learn more.

I doubt that, but human intelligence has a lot of potential. Super-intelligent humans have already invented ways of lifting heavy objects and seeing a bullet coming.

Now imagine what we could invent if humans were twice a smart as the smartest human live right now? Humans will eventually create robots who will take over. These robots might even travel the universe.
