Theme: What If?
These two simple words have led to the discovery of continents, the splitting of the atom, novels, paintings and even the phone in your pocket. They've started revolutions, launched crusades and built space stations.
"What if?" is the seed for every step of progress, every two steps back and even the occasional giant leap for mankind. "What if?" looks at the world with a fresh perspective, and that's what TED is all about.
Today it's not about finding better answers, it's about asking better questions.
