Twitter is loving the drama between Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal. Public key encryption — the heartbeat of internet commerce — uses prime numbers to fashion keys capable of locking away your sensitive information from prying eyes. And yet, despite their fundamental importance to our everyday lives, the primes remain an enigma.
An apparent pattern within them — the Riemann hypothesis — has tantalised some of the brightest minds in mathematics for centuries. However, as yet, no one has been able to tame their weirdness. Doing so might just break the internet. Antibiotics are one of the miracles of modern medicine. Yet this legacy is in danger — in Europe around 25, people die each year of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Thankfully, the advent of DNA sequencing is helping us discover antibiotics we never knew bacteria could produce.
Our tablets and smartphones are mini-computers that contain more computing power than astronauts took to the moon in But if we want to keep on increasing the amount of computing power we carry around in our pockets, how are we going to do it?
There are only so many components you can cram on to a computer chip. Has the limit been reached, or is there another way to make a computer? Scientists are considering new materials, such as atomically thin carbon — graphene — as well as new systems, such as quantum computing.
The short answer is no. Not a single disease, but a loose group of many hundreds of diseases, cancer has been around since the dinosaurs and, being caused by haywire genes, the risk is hardwired into all of us. The longer we live, the more likely something might go wrong, in any number of ways. For cancer is a living thing — ever-evolving to survive. And know this: up to half of all cancers — 3.
Robots can already serve drinks and carry suitcases. But in reality, it just never happens. Also, check out this article to find out how a word gets into the dictionary.

Is mirror a color? It should be! If you enjoy wasting time, is that time really wasted? Does anybody really enjoy wasting time? But to answer my own question, no. If anything is possible, is it possible for anything to be impossible? Everything perfect has a touch of that one secret ingredient known as chaos. Is order more perfect than chaos? Or is chaos just a higher form of order? If we were able to travel to the outer edges of the universe, what would we find?
Perhaps we would run smack dab into another universe, but how would we know? Would the other universe somehow come in a different color, operate with a different set of rules, or smell slightly like almonds? How would we know? Welcome to Universe B where proximity is not an issue! Before there was something, there was nothing. And out of nothing, how did we get something?
What existed before the big bang, before creation, and before God? Why is there structure to the universe, and how might intelligent life contribute to the formation of this structure? Time is the sound of a metronome ticking in our heads, the beat of our heart, the blinking lids on our eyes, the mental waves in our brains, and all the circadian cycles that govern our lives. Each of us thinks about time differently. To some it is a tool to be leveraged, to others a setting sun, a theory of physics, a philosophy to be debated , the hands of a clock, a lengthening of a shadow, or the grains of sand dropping in an hourglass.
And yet every truth we have about the existence of time comes with a counterbalancing exception to the rule. What Einstein may have been alluding to is the existence of other dimensions outside of those governed by time. We are born as a baby, struggle our entire life with everything from finding food to eat, homes to live in, educating ourselves to gain more understanding, staying healthy, making friends and relationships, raising a family, earning a living, and then we die.
If we have more accomplishments in life, earn more money, have more friends, raise a bigger family, and somehow do everything better than anyone else, we will still eventually die. In a world teeming with 8. Every past civilization, with their manmade structures, machines, systems, and cultures, has eventually succumbed to Mother Nature. Plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi methodically remove every trace of what we leave behind.
Does the fact that we can ask questions like these, ponder the unponderable, think the unthinkable, and accomplish things that no other species can accomplish, somehow give us a higher purpose? Are humans destined to become the guardians, caretakers, and eventually the masters of the universe?
If so, then we have to ask…. Humans are the bull in every china closet, the off-center bubble on every level, the mystery behind every hidden agenda, and the blunt instrument whenever a precision tool is called for. We are both our greatest heroes and our most feared enemies. We are praised for our accomplishments and castigated for our failures. Of all species on planet earth, humans are the least predictable, most destructive, require the longest nurturing period, and consume the most food.
At the same time, we are also the most curious, most aware, most innovative, and the most likely to waste countless hours playing video games. We live in a world driven by prerequisites. A machinist needs to understand a single-point lathe operation before he or she can advance to multi-axial milling.
Engineers need to understand the concepts of mechanical stress and strain before they start bending a cantilever beam. Metallurgists need to understand thermodynamics before they attempt phase transformations in solids.
Physicists need to understand quantum mechanics before they can understand a standard model for particle physics. Mathematicians need to understand nonlinear differential equations before they can understand strange attractors. I like to think of the future as a force so massive that the entire universe is being pulled forward in time simultaneously. We have no choice in this matter. The future will happen whether or not we agree to participate. Currently there are no known techniques for us to speed it up, slow it down, or even try to stop it.
The pace with which the future is unfolding is constant, and at the same time, relentless. And yet death is the destination we all share. People fear death. We spend millions on vitamins, health food, fitness programs, and doctors all to avoid the unavoidable. Or is it unavoidable? People who surround us today are part of the present and will also be part of the future.
Yet the future is being created by all of us. If we believe we have a purpose, then so does every butterfly, pocket mouse, and beam of light. Regardless of your beliefs, start with the most basic of all questions — Why does anything exist? It has been a lifetime journey for me just to formulate the questions. That said, I would love to hear your thoughts. Am I asking the right questions? Do you have answers to these questions, even one of them?
Comment below with your thoughts as they relate to futurism and these seemingly unanswerable questions. My Nan Margo loved this artical so much that she ditched the Jeremy Kyle show and showed us her rotten, eggy teeth just because she loved it so much. There is no antagonism between science and religion as most atheistic people believe. They believe in data but have not examined thoroughly the data of religion.
All these questions can be correctly answered by the true religion of the Catholic Church.
