Significant progress in understanding, replicating, and changing us humans or solely technological advances contained to optimising certain processes?.- The path towards modern mathematics. More and more abstraction as well as more and more concrete applications.- Astronomical research. The oldest science in history with the newest results of all sciences.- The future of sciences/technologies? From utopian optimism to dystopian pessimism (and possibly back).- The myth of the optimally functional invisible hand. Why and how research projects and future technologies should be discussed, respectively governed by the public domain?.- Science, Technology and Spirituality.

Synopsis
This book charts the evolution of the sciences and technologies that have shaped our modern age like nothing else in the last 60 years. As well as describing many exciting developments, it will also highlight the challenges and dangers of the technologies that have emerged from them. While science and technology have brought about enormous and often astonishing improvements in our quality of life, they have often also brought with them considerable risks, including the risk of human extinction. We place particular emphasis on the aspects that directly impact us as human beings: Artificial Intelligence (AI), enhancements of our brains/minds through innovative neuro-technologies, and the integration of nanotechnology into our bodies for early disease detection and elimination. What philosophical implications arise from these transformations? Authored by two theoretical physicists who are also experts in economics and capital markets - a rather rare combination - the book will explain the developments of modern science and the resulting technologies. It also examines the current state of play and emerging developments in a manner accessible to non-scientists. Based on their own experience and the analysis, the authors also propose ways in which science can progress more harmoniously in future.
