There is a danger one has to really be knowing much more because you can’t be too narrow on science.
Ahmed ZewailAhmed Zewail I came from Egypt and I owe Egypt a lot to what I am now.
Ahmed ZewailAhmed Zewail I do feel quite strongly about this that probably one of the things that unfortunately this age now to get a Nobel Prize is to really use part of it to help the young people get excited about science.
Ahmed ZewailAhmed Zewail Perhaps the most valuable thing he taught me (his father) was that there is no contradiction between devotion to work and enjoyment of life and people
Ahmed ZewailAhmed Zewail The fastest possible speeds are determined by their molecular vibrations and this speeds is about a kilometre per second.
Ahmed ZewailAhmed Zewail 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 ZewailAhmed Zewail Everybody thinks some times that science is done as a master plan and that somebody like me came from Mars and figured out everything and so on, but that’s really not the way it worked.
Ahmed ZewailAhmed Zewail So, that’s my intention to focus my efforts there and I hope I will be able to do so.
Ahmed ZewailAhmed Zewail I do have a concern however, humanity has a great way of adapting and I’m sure scientists of the future, probably after I leave this planet, earth will have a new way of dealing with the internet but I do have a concern in the transition period.
Ahmed ZewailAhmed Zewail There are many, many books I’ve read and I think this is quite naïve actually because we all just try to uncover something.
Ahmed ZewailAhmed Zewail I 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 ZewailAhmed Zewail When 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 ZewailAhmed Zewail For 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 ZewailAhmed Zewail Of course you can imagine I was frozen in time when he said that but then he made a very famous statement, something to the effect that this is the last 20 minutes of peace of your life.
Ahmed ZewailAhmed Zewail I 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 ZewailAhmed Zewail When I give a lecture on Egypt there are thousands of people in the lecture hall, so obviously they would like to go to science and they would love to do science, but you really have to get the correct science base in order for them to interact.
