摘要：It is said that the future cannot be predicted.That is evidently not entirely true.We cannot accurately predict unlikely events.However, in science, much is predictable, and particularly young scientists and engineers (no offence to the advanced ones!) who spend their days justifying their position and going for high-risk funding are thinking about the future beyond the Petri dish or chromatogram on their bench today.In certain fields, such as electronics, future predictions are driven by almost mathematical precision in the short term (Moore's law application, for example)with tendrils towards the distant future.Many things we experience now as major advances were predicted well in advance.In other fields, digital twins are becoming commonplace.
