Or this unprecedentedly ambitious Living-Earth-Simulator?

The most audacious project of the future: An "World Explanation Machine"

An old dream of mankind could come true: To see with an oracle in the future... We are facing a new "scientific revolution" , say hundreds of the best European scientists. They build a supercomputer-based system that allows simulating the world: The Living -Earth-Simulator.

This world simulator calculates what will move us in future: conflicts, finance crashes, impacts of climate change, natural disasters, trends in films and books on the Internet.

"We want create a stable world to combat crises, reduce losses, detect new opportunities and make a gain from it", hopes the scientific director of the unprecedented project, Professor Dirk Helbing.

If this kind of project is possible, what skills we need in the future and how our ability to think and act must change?
