Werner Heisenberg was a German theoretical physicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1932 for the creation of quantum mechanics. He was only 25 years old when he discovered the uncertainty principle. Although at the time Heisenberg did not understand his own work, so he handed it to his immediate supervisor, Max Born, and went on vacation.
A look at advanced means of altering or controlling the planet’s climate and geography, drawing on concepts proposed for terraforming other planets. We look at existing and proposed ideas of controlling the weather, creating artificial islands or mountain ranges, using orbital mirrors and shades, and many other concepts.

Force fields are a staple of science fiction, but usually regarded as only science fiction, not science fact. Today we’ll examine the notion and see what options we might have inside known science, as well as what alternatives might achieve similar effects.

Did you know that the best kind of armour is the one that is already vaporised?
Hello, I’m Todd and this is AsteronX.
Today we’re going to be discussing real energy shields, and even propose one, maybe two, of our own concepts.
Armour, regardless of whether its protecting against weaponry or the hazards of space travel in general, is limited by its melting and vaporisation temperatures.
Hear from Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna on the four ways that CRISPR gene editing technologies will revolutionize healthcare.
In her 31 March talk at the Frontiers Forum, Prof Jennifer Doudna outlined how CRISPR-based therapies are already transforming the lives of patients with previously limited treatment options. She also gave her vision for how her serendipitous discovery will revolutionize healthcare for us all. The session was attended by over 9,200 representatives from science, policy and business across the world.
Jennifer’s keynote talk was followed by a discussion with global experts on access and ethical considerations:
• Prof Andrea Crisanti, Imperial College London.
• Prof Françoise Baylis, Dalhousie University.
• Dr Soumya Swaminathan, Chief Scientist, World Health Organization.
2022 marks the 10th anniversary of Jennifer’s groundbreaking development of CRISPR-Cas9 as a genome-engineering technology, with collaborator Prof Emmanuelle Charpentier. The two earned the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work, which has forever changed the course of human and agricultural genomics research. Jennifer Doudna is the Li Ka Shing Chancellor’s Chair and a Professor in the Departments of Chemistry and of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and Founder of the Innovative Genomics Institute.
The Frontiers Forum showcases science-led solutions for healthy lives on a healthy planet. Watch previous sessions at https://forum.frontiersin.org.

Joscha Bach, Synthetic Intelligence.
13 February 2022, 10.00 am EST; 4.00 pm CET; 11.00 pm China.
Joscha Bach is an AI researcher and one of the world’s leading authorities on neuroscience and AI. A popular figure within debates about AI, he is the author of the book, Synthetic Intelligence, has given a TED talk and has been interviewed by Lex Fridman. Bach is interested primarily in the question of whether AI can offer us insights into the workings of the human mind. He joins us for our series on the new theory of intelligence emerging at the intersection of AI, neuroscience and architecture.

Do supermassive black holes have friends? The nature of galaxy formation suggests that the answer is yes, and in fact, pairs of supermassive black holes should be common in the universe.
I am an astrophysicist and am interested in a wide range of theoretical problems in astrophysics, from the formation of the very first galaxies to the gravitational interactions of black holes, stars and even planets. Black holes are intriguing systems, and supermassive black holes and the dense stellar environments that surround them represent one of the most extreme places in our universe.
The supermassive black hole that lurks at the center of our galaxy, called Sgr A*, has a mass of about 4 million times that of our Sun. A black hole is a place in space where gravity is so strong that neither particles or light can escape from it. Surrounding Sgr A* is a dense cluster of stars. Precise measurements of the orbits of these stars allowed astronomers to confirm the existence of this supermassive black hole and to measure its mass. For more than 20 years, scientists have been monitoring the orbits of these stars around the supermassive black hole. Based on what we’ve seen, my colleagues and I show that if there is a friend there, it might be a second black hole nearby that is at least 100,000 times the mass of the Sun.
