What If...The Forum could change the world?

The Forum

Available for over a year

This week The Forum joins the BBC World Service 'What If' season. Bridget Kendall is joined by three brave visionaries, each presenting an idea that they believe could shape our future: theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, clinical neuropsychologist Barbara Sahakian and speculative fiction writer Karen Lord. What if we could move things with the power of thought alone (plus a little magnetism)? What if we could take a pill to prevent our brains betraying us in old age? What if we could read each other’s minds?
