And the other thing also which I’m hoping for is that the government in Egypt is willing and interested in promoting science and technology and this is an ideal time now to be able to do something.

AHMED ZEWAILOne of the things I enjoy most is to be left alone with a book.
AHMED ZEWAILSo, I’m an old fashioned still in this regard but these are the moment where I really can be creative, if I am, to be left alone with just a book and piece of paper and to be thinking.
AHMED ZEWAILFor me to sit down here, even as a Nobel Laureate and make a prediction about which science I think that will be a mistake.
AHMED ZEWAILIf you like, there is a Guinness time. The reason for that it’s fundamental. It is not that we have to keep shortening the time. It turns out all molecular and biological systems have speeds of the atoms move inside them.
AHMED ZEWAILI thought in my Nobel Lecture I pointed that I was delighted that the Swedish Academy of Science did not quote anything about my current work right now, because the current work that my group is focusing on is actually both the time resolve.
AHMED ZEWAILSo, that’s my intention to focus my efforts there and I hope I will be able to do so.
AHMED ZEWAILI am not one of the new media experts working all the time with my computers and the PowerPoint’s and things of that sort.
AHMED ZEWAILI think the Nobel Prize helps for a number of reasons. Number one, if I can be frank, there is these people will feel by getting a Nobel Prize that I’m one of them, that it is possible to contribute on the world map of science and technology.
AHMED ZEWAILI built on the efforts of a previous scientist, others will build on the work I’m doing and if I look at the whole scope from chemistry to biology to physics, it’s just the list is too long to mention just one and it’s not fair to the others.
AHMED ZEWAILI want to really focus on doing this two things I really would like to focus on science and the excitement of science and to help with science.
AHMED ZEWAILWhen I was a child, I thought of my Delta town as the center of the universe, but now I realize how little I know about the universe.
AHMED ZEWAILWhen they called me with the Nobel call from Secretary General of the Swedish Academy it was twenty minutes to six and he said well that was well hope I’m not disturbing you but I am the Secretary General of the Swedish Academy.
AHMED ZEWAILSyria is the proud heir of an ancient civilization that has a unique spectrum of minorities that encompasses Muslims and Christians of various denominations. There are at least ten such ethnic and religious groups.
AHMED ZEWAILAs a child, I thought I was immortal, but now I recognize how limited a time we all have. As a child, success meant scoring A on every exam, but now I take it to mean good health, close family and friends, achieve- ments in my work, and helping others.
AHMED ZEWAILI do feel that there are tremendous amount of talent in Egypt, human resources.
