Partnering with Rachel Courtland at New Scientist, I made a number of quantitative predictions in the world of science and technology for this coming year, and wrote about them in the December 25 issue. Here they are:
- Will P vs. NP be solved?
- When will an extrasolar Earth-like twin be discovered?
- How will global internet usage change?
- Will we discover chemical elements on the ‘island of stability’?
There is also an introductory piece and an editorial in this issue about these predictions.
The future is here and mathmatics will lead the way. Will we know which future is best for us?
