Life in 2056
There’s an interesting article in today’s Guardian newspaper about what Scientists think life may look like 50 years from now. They’re predicting bonding with aliens and animals as well as suggesting that advances in physics will finally be able to explain the big bang.
Why not have a read and share what it makes you think and feel.
UPDATE:
The Guardian’s article is based on New Scientist’s 50th Anniversay special edition. I’ve just picked a copy of this up and it looks like it’s going to be a fascinating read with a special focus on “the biggest questions ever asked”. These include:
- What is reality?
- Do we have free will?
- What is life?
- Is the universe deterministic?
- What is consciousness?
- Will we ever have a theory of everything?
- What happens after you die?
- What comes after humans?

Very interesting! My gut reaction is to shoot it down, but when you see how far we’ve come in the last 50 years, even the last 10, it might not be that far-fetched.
Don’t know how I’ll manage as a vegtarian though…

“Will we ever have a theory of everything?”
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.
-A River Runs Through It
And that is my theory of everything.
