    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Science of the Future

The word 'Nerd' is a compliment.
I read an essay prompt that said this:
- The 19th century belonged to the Chemist, the 20th century to the physicist, who will stamp their mark on the 21st century?

Personally, I think it will be biotechnology, because it's a very new science that, in addition to making rapid strides, has the potential to change the human race forever.

So what do you guys think it will be and why?
 
A century is a lot of years. Yeah, maybe bioengineering and what not, but I think we'll continue to make significant discoveries in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics.
 
The 19th century to the chemist? 20th to the physicist? I know plenty of biologists who would dispute that (though perhaps having the two most important discoveries in the history of biology in different centuries is dragging it down a little).
 
I'll be happy once they start mass-producing these. And they also need to make one of these.

Oh and if we can find a cure for AIDS and stuff that'd be cool as well.
