The possible is constantly being redefined, and I care deeply about helping humanity move forward.
Some wonder whether some day we will arrive at a theory of everything and run out of new problems to solve - much as the effort to explore the earth ran out of new continents to explore.
It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising.
The world is a place that is so interconnected that what happens in another part of the world will impact us.
