What field of science will explode in possibility and popularity in the next 20 years? In what field will the next big thing happen?

not sure what you mean but no, I can't say that will bring about a general quantum computer. There is skepticism about it's ability to solve some problems but I don't know. There is always advancement in fabrication but it's unknown what can be said about computing abilities until we have tests.

>neuroscientist
Both, it will give you a better understanding of overall and one will give better context and make more sense for the other, as relevant information can be found in both for each other
Also, become a AI neuroscientist
We have far too few Robot Psychologists, and I want to be sure there are people who can even begin to understand the psychology and minds of AI at all rather than having none
You need to tell us whether a computer is able to effectively mimic or replicate human neurology and what differences there are and why these differences are important and whatnot
would appreciate, thanks

Haven't you noticed that China is decades behind and only can copy what was made in the West?
And the reason for that is that their true scientists despise their own government, because freedom of thought is essential for researchers, and that is a thing totalitarian regimes cannot tolerate.

USA! USA! USA! (and I say it as a russian dissident scientist and independent researcher, even russian soft totalitarianism is too much to me to want any association with them)
So please, do you best to save the republic.

do we even care? I bet if you proposed big bold ideas to test things like building a giant linear collider (just to give one example) people would rather debate the politics of it, if it were funded, we would allocate 10x too much and 90% would go to consultants who outsource the tasks.
We wouldn't put our best on it but we would measure the racial diversity of it.
Then, we would close down abruptly with a far reduced project scope, let out some more marketing spiel, and promise that the next iteration will be the one that does it.
Meanwhile, all the technical expertise for doing that project would be literally dead, like those people died and they didn't pass their knowledge on.
Experimenting might even become associated with white supremacy. "Scientists aren't born and they aren't bred either" -- "they're created by complex racially diverse groups that collaborate together through the watchful oversight of civil rights attorneys in Washington". Do not question their authority on the matter.

Massive cope. They have actually much more freedom. There is really only one rule. Dont be againt the ccp.
Top researcher in china have a green card to do whatever the fuck they want bypassing any sort of morals or ethics.
In the other hand, someone like James Watson, with a lifetime dedicated to science, gets shutdown because he had the "wrong" opinion on race.

Machine learning and AI, still.

Even with no algorithmic improvements in 20 years there will still be 20 years of hardware improvements.
Do you get it?

In 2000 deep learning would not have worked because it was too expensive computationally. 15 years later, AlphaGo happened.

Now consider the algorithmic improvements going on too. We're going to replace every single professional category with algorithms, except for maybe prostitutes and delivery guys. Everything where you use a brain is going to be captured by ML/AI, either entirely or as assisting software.
