All of this worries me deeply. None of it is good news for people, these are just more tools in the hands of corporate rulers of this world to exploit us.

I remain extremely impressed with the LIGO detection of gravitational waves last year. This year they have observed gravitational waves from colliding neutron stars. One of the most exciting things about this is that we (humans) were also able to observe this event in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

If LIGO is able to observe primordial gravitational waves (the gravitational analogy to the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background that would be extremely interesting.)

at the minute I'm really interested in the synthetic meat that both Bill Gates and Elon Musk are funding research into, as a meat lover and someone who actually cares about the welfare of animals I would love for the product to become affordable and sustainable.

A discovery of a potential treatment of Huntington's disease!!!

They are tracking of trying to anyway waves of energy that travels faster than light speed.

Neurobiology fascinates me

The research into soil microbes and fungus as an alternative to chemicals and fertilizer and the offshoot organic cancer drugs it has produced is amazing; most of this work is being done in Cuba and is the direct result of the US embargo. Seems necessity is the father of invention.

CRISPR. Gattaca is about to turn into a documentary.

Watched a program where diseases such as small pox, Plague and alike are being used to fight Cancer......it seems we are definately on the path to eventually ridding humanity from this dreaful disease.

The fact that they are about to cross the [ quantum supremacy] limit in computing .The study of sub atomic particles fascinates me

Cancer research. More survivors like me hopefully.

I think it is the light and technological revolution so much to blow my mind and now making science fiction difficult to make as it overtakes it.it is an amazingly happy and very scary time. we are as a race is on the cusp of greatness yet hanging over the obis where we lose everything. our surroundings are getting so state of the art but are crumbling too. we have so much intelligence at our fingertips and yet we grow stupid because of it.skynet is here astalervista baby.

AI..for sure..but string theory is also quite fascinating

Memory recall. This has really fascinated me. Apparently, you don't just recall a memory; you recall it into paint shop pro, then redesign it. If you recall a bad memory but you're in a good mood, that memory will be repainted in a more positive version than before. Or vice versa. This is what brainwashing is based on. This also has to do with PTSD; you don't just remember images of what happened, you also store the emotion that went with it. And if that emotion is strong enough, then you "remember" it when it is triggered by a similar stimuli. Research is developing the means of eliminating these emotional memories.

Donald Trump...

The developments in cosmology and quantum mechanics are fascinating. But for my money the most directly fascinating is the development of AI. Also very potential scary. Within 20 years AI will exceed human intelligence, it is said. Then it will go exponential. Wow!

World Collective consciousnesses of love, creative, health, awareness, ethical values are the main things that do change by the power of the people.

When humans are harmed by the extreme hierarchy systems like the abuse from Religion or Politics. The world is into the third wave of abuse right now, until the people collectively consciousness change it as the have done throughout the history of mankind.

What science needs to do is target whatever it is that's turning my hair white and redirect it towards my teeth but, since they aren't working on that, I'd have to go with CRISPR technology.

"String theory" and stem cell research helping to cure previously deadly diseases.

carbon nanotubes, buckyballs and the discovery of gravitational waves. we live in exciting times, I can't wait to see the new discoveries of tomorrow and what technologies will be born from them.

Zero point energy and the outgrowth of Nikola Tesla's work on electromagnetics and energy transmission. The developments of many scientists and inventors has been suppressed, confiscated and appropriated since the FBI confiscated Tesla's research upon his death.

We remain addicted to fossil fuels because this technology is suppressed and controlled by quasi-governmental military contractors. This has allowed our corporate kleptocracy to enrich itself by perpetuating our current energy paradigm and assurring that "free energy" remains stillborn.

Everything? Is that an answer? I do like gravitational waves, they're fun... Higg's Boson was a pretty big leap to further proving the standard model. Still need that link to gravitation though... maybe that's most fascinating, what we haven't learned yet.

We are living in a Golden Age of space exploration. When I was a kid everything we knew about tbe Solar System pretty much fit in the first few pages of an atlas. Now have visited every planet, landed probes on several of them, and including some moons. Never ceases to amaze, I visit APOD regularly.
