I could totally see 8.79 with the right technology, springy shoes, track, etc.... It just sounds right and would be exactly 1.00 faster than Seoul 1988.
You may laugh at springy shoes, but look at golf then versus now. They totally changed the rules to allow ridiculous driver sizes and balls that fly farther and straighter than ever.
Some day, they'll change the rule on shoes to allow springs and advantageous tech. As long as they are mechanical only.
Since we know mankind is devolving due to genetic transmission errors and mutations, it's likely that the fastest man ever was Adam.

Got evidence, or just shit to talk?
A 3/10 of a second drop in barely 10 years, followed by miniscule improvements in the decades since amphetamines were banned - a ban which happened to work because they are only effective in competition and are nearly impossible to mask - is powerful circumstantial evidence at the least.
Sprinters constantly being caught using "cold medicine" as a substitute only illustrates how effective the real deal was.
But by all means talk more shit if that's all you got, even more people will realize how bankrupt your position is.
Has any human run faster than 12 meters per second on the flat without a strong following wind?
No.
Do sprinters need methamphetamine to run that fast?
No.
Do sprinters need methamphetamine to react quickly?
No.
Do sprinters need methamphetamine to hold speed endurance?
No.
Do sprinters need methamphetamine to be confident in their ability?
No.
Have I got any evidence that you are somewhat obsessed with Methamphetamine?
Yes.
Next stupid question?
Possible with a downhill track and a tailwind?
Bolt ran a 9.58 at sea level with a .9 wind. How fast is the same race at 7k ft and 1.9 wind?
Bolt ran a 8.7 100m during his 150m run. Is it possible to find a guy who is just as fast but more explosive out of the blocks? Maybe. Will that be enough to get us down aroun 9s (well along with wind and altitude)? Who knows
Literally BREAK? I don't know. But I have seen it happen that a sprinter tears a muscle 9 seconds in a 100m dash. You could always trip and break your ankle 9 seconds in - why not.
