The Future This Week: Europa, AI Physicist, and Universal Translators

In The Future This Week, Serious Wonder aims for the stars in search of this week’s headlines of the future, from the colonization of Mars to the exploration of Europa. This week we’re shown a glimpse of the future where an artificial intelligence outperforms a group of physicists during an experiment and the birth of the world’s first universal translator commences.

Whether we’re changing the way we communicate with one another or are changing the way we think of life throughout the universe, we’re entering a world where the future transforms everything we thought we knew about ourselves and about everything which surrounds us. We’re constantly rethinking and reshaping our perception of reality itself. Welcome to the future!

A group of physicists from the Australian National University (ANU) and UNSW ADFA used artificial intelligence to successfully replicate a Nobel Prize winning experiment – under a hour! SOURCE

NASA scientists have discovered more evidence that Europa – one of Jupiter’s 67 known moons – could very well be hosting alien life deep within its icy oceans, maintaining its label of being the most likely place to find life in our Solar System today. SOURCE

Joining several other organizationd around the world, aerospace giant Lockheed Martin will unveil six-person spacecraft concept design in Washington D.C., which will serve as a “base camp” for Mars exploration. SOURCE

Wearable-technology company Waverly Labs have designed what could very well be the first ever universal translator device called The Pilot, which will be providing pre-orders through Indiegogo this spring. SOURCE
