" Forum of World Top Scientists " On the last day, more than 60 scientists relayed their imaginations at the "Mobius Forum", leaving wonderful "prophecies" for the world and science. Now extract the part and load it into time capsule , and maybe it will be opened accidentally one by one on one in the future.
Prophecy 1: Mechanical Biology
In the past 12 years, we have been studying how cells create biological forms, which is also called "mechanical Biology". Now important discoveries have been made that pluripotent stem cells can be cultured. In the future, it may be possible to kill cancer cells through mechanical biology and benefit the disease family.
Prophecy 2: Decoding the 3D human functional genome
Each gene in the bacteria has a key, but there are a series of keys in human cells to control the switch. Previous technologies cannot identify these elements. If you use a chip, you can set 200 factors. Now at Peking University, we use transcription factor light localization to decode the 3D human functional genome, bringing more possibilities to the development of new drugs.
Prophecy III: Scan the universe to obtain life information
Researchers will develop an instrument that can detect planetary "biomarkers". Astronomers will use this instrument to "scan" thousands of exoplanets to find out if there are clues of life there. Alien life may be a smart creature or a relatively primitive form of life.
Prophecy 4: "Superman" was born
We will usher in a "Superman" era, and we are now close to the starting point of this era. Gene editing technology is expected to make people smarter, and of course, whether this technology can be used in humans still needs ethical evaluation. The advancement of information technologies such as artificial intelligence is expected to give birth to a "super brain", and its wisdom may be close to or beyond the human brain. In medicine, implantable medical devices such as artificial joints can improve people's motor ability. By combining these three types of technologies, "Superman" may be born.
Prophecy 5: Humans begin to slowly "retreat"
Computers can prove some formulas, axioms, and theorems themselves, and will form their own systems; humans will start to slowly retreat, and it will become more and more difficult to surpass machines, and the threshold for the mathematics community will also become higher and higher. In this century, if the machine reaches a certain level, we need to prove an axiom or formula in the future and directly input it into the computer can prove it.
Prophecy 6: Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Drug
make new drugs play a longer role and slow down the emergence of drug resistance? Combining artificial intelligence and computer simulation, using deep learning from machines, can achieve a 99% success rate. In the next 30 years, AI computers will have the ability to give us various medication advice.
Prophecy VII: Find ways to deal with climate change
Reduce driving times, save energy, eat less meat, and have multiple trees - the life and death of human beings depends on whether we can reduce the damage to biodiversity and reduce the impact on the environment now. For example, improve personal health, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to the sustainable development of this planet.
Prophecy 8: New jobs are constantly being created
Although new technology will take away some jobs, if humans have the ability to develop machines, they can continue to create new jobs. The key is that we need to learn a series of skills, not just do one thing, we need to learn for life, and continue to learn after work.Although we cannot predict what the future job will be, we know that new knowledge will surely emerge in the future and continue to create new positions.
Prophecy Nine: Stronger "Teleoscope"
I want to repeat Descartes's words. "The wonderful instrument of the telescope brings our vision far beyond the scope of our ancestors' imagination, thus opening a deeper and more perfect path to understand the world and nature."
I believe that in the future, there will be more and more scientific methods to help us obtain clearer images at the atomic level and help us further understand life, disease and health.
Prophecy 10: Alzheimer's vaccine appears
Rather than imagining the future, it is to set up a "target list" for yourself and chemistry research. What I want to propose is some challenges facing the chemistry discipline in the future: "First, it is to better understand molecular modification interactions. Second, it is hoped to develop a method for rapid sequencing of glycans. Now some methods are difficult to identify the isomer ..."
also hopes to invent a vaccine that can be used to prevent cancer, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease . In fact, nine antibodies that may come in handy have been discovered so far, and it may help us achieve this goal soon.
