“Scientific progress must not be destructive” (video)
Five Nobel Prize Laureates will give open lectures for five days for Armenian scientists and students, “I think my lecture will have a lot of impact. The young will get more interested in science and maybe they would like to cooperate,” says Nobel Prize laureate Robin J.Warren. “The young people are the most important people in our life, they must be educated, educated, educated. But I think that the scientific education should start in the kindergarten. I already implement such projects in my hometown,” says Nobel Prize laureate Dan Shechtman. Jewish scientist Aaron Ciechanover thinks that the science helps to live longer. A number of new technologies and medicine have been invented for treating incurable diseases. But the scientist also voices the negative sides of the science’s development, “While some scientists think how to prolong people’s life, the others create armaments, which kill people,” says the scientist. Former Minister of Science and Education Armen Ashotyan also agrees with this viewpoint- science must serve only the interests of peace, “It is a current issue during these days, that the scientific progress of humanity must not be destructive, which happens in case of using modern arms.” By the way, three Nobel Prize laureates are from Israel, one is from Japan and one is from Austria. The main slogan of the event is “Be inspired and create”. Watch the video for details!
