By 2030, quantum computers are powerful enough to be used to build virtual universes that are governed by physical laws duplicated from the real world. This 'metaverse' allows scientists to conduct observational and experimental studies to improve degrees of certainty in testing hypotheses, leading to safer, inexpensive, more accurate, and quicker experiments that normally would require live test subjects.
For example, pharmaceutical drugs being tested for safety and efficacy normally requiring clinical trials with thousands of participants taking many years against a general population can now be tested much faster in the metaverse using virtual cells, tissues, and organs personalized to specific individuals based on their unique genetic profile. Not only does science benefit from the metaverse, but also engineering as well. New concepts in construction and space development can now test concepts for viability in a virtual space with the same universal physical laws simulated in a virtual environment, creating a much less expensive and time-consuming method to ensure the safety and viability of a project.
