- Description
- This episode of Horizon looks at the issues that will change the way we live our lives in the future. Rather than relying on the minds of science fiction writers mathematician Hannah Fry delves into the data we have today to provide an evidence-based vision of tomorrow. With the help of the BBC’s science experts - and a few surprise guests - Hannah investigates the questions the British public want answered about the future. Hannah will try to discover whether we could ever live forever or if there will ever be a cure for cancer. She’ll find out how research into the human brain may one day help with mental health, and if it’s possible to ever ditch fossil fuels. Hannah and her guests will also discover the future of transport - and when (if ever) we really will see flying cars. She’ll discover whether a robot will take your job or if, as some believe, we’ll all one day actually become cyborgs. The programme predicts what the weather will be like and discovers if we’re on the verge of another mass extinction. Hannah’s tenth prediction is something she, and Horizon are confident will definitely happen, and that’s to expect the unexpected!
