Wired magazine devotes a special issue each November to a "What's Next?" for the upcoming year - and that means it is time to think about what will happen in the world of science in 2015.

Wired asked me to make a solid prediction, kind of like Jeane Dixon, except actually right about the future. Nostradamus, without all of the meaningless mumbo-jumbo.

What did I come up with? They want you to buy the magazine so I won't spoil the plot (though there are 100 contributors, everyone from James Dyson and Carlo Ratti to scientists from all over the world, so you would find something else to like) but I can give you a hint: It isn't always the heart attack that does the damage to your heart, it's what happens after the heart restarts, and that problem may be solved in 2015.

Available at fine retailers, and on digital apps like Wired iTunes and Zinio
