This could be interesting, seriously "we have a future" seems a bit far 
out.....

*The 20th century was, arguably, the century of physics. *While there 
was immense progress on so-called "fundamental physics" — the basic laws 
governing matter, space, and time — fundamental physics has slowed to a 
crawl since 1980, despite an immense amount of work. But, as John Baez 
will explain in this SFI Community Lecture, there is exciting progress 
in other branches of physics: for example, using the fundamental physics 
we have to design surprising new forms of matter. But, like all other 
sciences in the 21st century, physics must also embrace the challenges 
of the Anthropocene: the era in which humanity is a dominant influence 
on the Earth's climate and biosphere.

John Baez <https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/> is an American mathematical 
physicist and a professor of mathematics at the University of 
California, Riverside (UCR). He has worked on spin foams in loop quantum 
gravity, applications of highest categories to physics, and applied 
category theory.

Baez also authored /This Week’s Finds in Mathematical Physics,/ an 
irregular column on the internet featuring mathematical exposition and 
criticism. He started /This Week’s Finds/ for the Usenet community, and 
it now has a following in its new form, the blog “Azimuth.” /This Week’s 
Finds/ anticipated the concept of a personal weblog. Additionally, Baez 
is known on the World Wide Web as the author of the “crackpot index.”
