As we look at communication between species, both in terms of how it is progressing on Earth (think sign-language communication with gorillas, or communication with other high-functioning animals like dolphins), we can see how it may progress into future communication with extra-terrestrial lifeforms. What can we learn through communication across species? When we finally make contact with aliens, how will we communicate with them?

We look at the science of regeneration and how it will impact people in the future. We look at how we will have to adapt to live on Earth in the future. As our population continues to grow, where will we go? Into cities underground? Under the ocean? On the ocean? How will these new and extreme environments challenge us? What will we have to do to adapt to them? What will be the long-term effects of living underground or underwater or in other "extreme" environments? Will there be social and economic developments as well? Scientists are already beginning to regenerate specific organs and body parts. How will this continue to advance?
