So you may have heard the news. A team of American geneticists have successfully edited the genes of a living human embryo. It's hard to believe that 15 or 20 years ago all of this is merely science fiction.

But as we take our baby steps towards transhumanism, we should, with all respect, give due credit to those who came before. As well as ask ourselves whether we want to know of what might come after....

It seems that 2017 is expected to become an annus mirabilis (latin: miraculous year) in science, particularly in physics. It's only a few weeks ago that the news on the discovery of metallic hydrogen broke out; now we're presented with the possibility of life existing on another star system.

Well then you'd understand how generations of mathematicians, spanning more than three centuries felt as they became part of the mathematical world's greatest practical joke: Pierre de Fermat's last theorem.

​U mad bro?
