摘要：The World Civilization is anchored in Mathematics. No one disagrees that Mathematics is the dorsal spine of the modern world. But this leads to focus the concerns about the future on Mathematics. I give the word to Mikhail L. Gromov, the Abel Prize laureate of 2009, who, in an interview given to Raussen and Skau (2010), said:
Earth will run out of the basic resources, and we cannot predict what will happen after that. We will run out of water, air, soil, rare metals, not to mention oil. HYPERLINK "\\\\\\\\\\everything" Everything will essentially come to an end within fifty years. What will happen after that? I am scared. It may be okay if we find solutions, but if we don’t then everything may come to an end very quickly!
Mathematics may help to solve the problem, but if we are not successful, there will not be any mathematics left, I am afraid!
