人類登陸月球、繪製地球上各大洲的地圖、 甚至到海洋的最深處 -- 兩次。下個世代還可以探索什麼？生物學家和探險家Nathan Wolfe建議如下：任何事物。如他所說，我們可以從看不見的小東西的世界  開始。

Nathan Wolfe: 還有什麼可以探索？

The world’s age of exploration is far from over—most of it now happens at the microscopic level. Although viruses were discovered just over a century ago, they make up more genetic material on Earth than all other life forms combined. Today’s genetic sequencing reveals that up to 50 percent of the DNA in our bodies belongs to unknown life, called biological dark matter. These uncharted genetic territories could contain entirely new forms of life and the keys to solving major scientific mysteries.
