梦想成真 2017年实现的15个预言

6. 利用计算机解决数学难题

Mathematician Steven Strogatz once predicted that computer-assisted solutions to math problems will eventually extend beyond human comprehension. His prediction appears to have finally come true.

数学家斯蒂文·斯特罗加茨曾经预言，通过计算机的帮助解决数学问题，将来总有一天人类会看不懂计算机给出的结果。好吧，现在他的预言实现了。

Earlier this year, a computer solved the longstanding Erdős discrepancy problem. Unfortunately, human mathematicians aren't entirely sure about the solution because it's as long as all of Wikipedia's pages combined.

2017年年初，研究人员使用计算机解决了一道数学界的难题--埃尔德什差异问题。可不幸的是，数学家们还无法确定这个结果是否正确，因为这个结果比维基百科所有网页加在一起的长度还要长。

7. An artificial chromosome was built from scratch

7. 人造染色体

In what was the year's biggest artificial life breakthrough, researchers from New York University Langone Medical Center reconstructed a synthetic and fully functional yeast chromosome. Incredibly, they were also able to insert their own special additions to the chromosome, including a chemical switch that allows scientists to "scramble" it into thousands of different variations to make subsequent gene editing even easier. It's an important proof of concept that could lead to designer organisms and artificial chromosomes in humans.
