Science's 125 BIG Questions...........

I just thought some members would get a kick out of this.

To celebrate it's 125th anniversery Science Magazine has compiled a list of the "125 biggest questions facing scientists over the next quater century".

www.sciencemag.org...

Some of the questions include:

What is the Biological Basis of Conciousness?
What can replace cheap oil - and when?
How are memories stored and retrieved?
Are we alone in the universe?
What are the limits of conventional computing?
What is the universe made of?
Can the laws of physics be unified?
How much can the Human Life Span be extended?

This is a fascinating list of questions and Science magazine is doing a great job of pointing out what we do and do not know about these topics.

You can bet that the people that definatively answer some of these challenges are going to be Noble Prize recipients. The shear complexity of some of these topics is baffling. It amazes me how far humans have come but how far we still have to go on our quest for knowledge.

Are there any ATS members out there with answers to some of these riddles just locked away in their minds?

Thats an interesting article, I enjoyed reading them. It's interesting to see the scope of unkowns, ranging from our brains to the universe.

good post.
