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 travelThe Star-Trek style transporter. Indefinite human lifespan Personal flight - Superman style Hypercomputers Retrieval of all extinct species A bridge across the Atlantic OceanEliminating world hunger
