Physics helped define the 20th century. We know that its numerous impacts include electric power, the microchip and the automobile. We also know that these have helped to cause global warming and a rate of species-loss not seen since the last mass extinction. Will the next 100 years be dominated by biology? What role will physics play? And what will the likely impacts be?
