Jetpacks, self-driving cars, hoverboards. These are the next five minutes. What about the next decade? Advances in genetics, theoretical physics, space science, and more will reshape not only our understanding of the world, but of what is possible for us to do in it. Premier researchers in psychology, nanoscience, energy, and physics will discuss and answer questions about what we can expect in theoretical science and how it will translate into our every-day world over the next ten years.
