What do you think will be the 5 scientific breakthroughs and how will they influence our life? Have a discussion and voice your opinion.,1. Well know where we came from. Why does the universe exist? 2. Well crack the genetic code and conquer cancer. 3. Well live longer (120 years?). 4. Well “manage”Earth. Well stop talking about the weather but will do something about it. Well gradually learn how to predict the effects of human activity on the Earth, its climate and its ecosystems. 5. Well have a brain“road map”. Well be able to say with certainty which ones are working when you read a word, when you say a word, why you think about a word, and so on.,1.
