Who’s who in young revolutionaries? What scientist holds the key to that elusive formula that will transform mankind? Are the great discoveries within reach, or is it impossible to predict? Forbes, as they typically do, has thrown together a list of 10 whom they consider worthy of consideration.

“Given the serendipity behind so much innovation, it may seem like folly to predict who will change the world–but we’re doing it anyway, if for no other reason than to spark creative discussion. We’ve looked far and wide to come up with our 10 revolutionaries. They’re young thinkers and scientists whom you’ve probably never heard of, doing work that is radically new and potentially world-changing. Together, they might transform medicine and computing, pollution and poverty, and our understandings of the brain and the cosmos–in short, they really could change the world.

While researching these innovators, we didn’t stumble upon a magic formula for producing breakthroughs. But we did get a good idea of where to look for innovation–and a good idea of just how many methods of fostering it have been tried.”

One such candidate is Karim Nader whose studies suggest that you will be able to edit your memories as you see fit.

“A scientist asks you to recall a memory, gives you a pill and alters your recollection. It sounds like a scene from the 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the sci-fi romance in which ex-lovers have their memories of one another erased. But it’s exactly what McGill University neuroscientist Karim Nader is doing with folks who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (rape survivors, war veterans and the like).”
