Krátky popis
If you had a trillion dollars and a year to spend it for the good
of the world and the advancement of science, what would you do?
It's an unimaginably large sum, yet it's only around one per cent
of world GDP, and about the valuation of Google, Microsoft or
Amazon. It's a much smaller sum than the world found to bail out
its banks in 2008 or deal with Covid-19. But what could you achieve
with $1 trillion?You could solve the problem of the pandemic, for
one, and eradicate malaria, and maybe cure all disease.You could
end global poverty. You could settle on the Moon and explore the
solar system. You could build a massive particle collider to probe
the nature of reality like never before.You could build quantum
computers, develop artificial intelligence, or increase human
lifespan. You could even create a new life form. Or how about
transitioning the world to clean energy? Or preserving the
rainforests, or saving all endangered species? Maybe you could
refreeze the melting Arctic, launch a new sustainable agricultural
revolution, and reverse climate change?How to Spend a Trillion
Dollars is the ultimate thought experiment but it is also a call to
arms: these are all things we could do, if we put our minds to it -
and our money.
