Phil, Stephen, and Michael D. discuss new technologies (and ideas for new technologies) that push the limits of the possible.
A good example of something that’s possible:
Sequencing the Woolly Mammoth genome.
Examples of technologies that push the limits:
Faster-than-light travel
The Star-Trek style transporter.
Indefinite human lifespan
Personal flight – Superman style
Hypercomputers
Retrieval of all extinct species
A bridge across the Atlantic Ocean
Eliminating world hunger
