This is about Dr. David Gross' Lecture and granting of Honorary Degree, which kicked off the Centennial Lecture Series ( Mr. Nemenzo was the second one ).
Nobel Prize winner Dr. Gross has a lot of things to say and
they were all cool.
Among the highlights :
- everything boils down to Physics. Including Global Warming.
- his major Nobel Prize winning work dealt with the theory of Quantum Chromodynamics. It has butressed the Standard Model (SM) essentially describes (and has been experimentally verified a number of times over) the 3 out of the 4 fundamental interactions between elementary particles which makes all matter, including ourselves. Whatever that was.
- Intelligent Design simply just means that life was created by a supernatural entity. Which is the recourse thought of religious fundamentalists, by the way.
- 50-100 years from now, human lifespan will not only double, but stand 10 times longer.
- 1,000 years from now , we would be conquering galaxies.
Our own scientists ( such as College of Science Dean Dr. Cesar Salome ) meanwhile believe that a National Science Complex is more important than our sovereignty.
Maybe in the future, we'll get to take our cake and eat it too.
