Indeed! What makes it even more exciting is that historically speaking nobody knew how much a scientific breakthrough would change our world until years after its initial discovery.
I'm wondering what knew gained knowledge we have made which could radically change different sectors of society or industries, but where we just don't know yet. How do you think can we make our increased mastery of the Universe "trickle down" faster from scientists to engineers to innovators and entrepreneurs?
yeah, that is true. It always has an effect in some way or the other.
About the trickling down, I personally think that access to knowledge shouldn't be restricted. The internet can help immensely in that regards. And then we need to allocate more funds towards science as a species. That will get things done a lot faster. Also, cross border sharing of knowledge should be as easy and free as possible. I believe that science is not a race between nations but a common objective for all of humanity.
Exactly. This is why I spent a lot of my time co-founding the Spaceport Norway conference which we held this year. To showcase space technologies and new breakthroughs to non-space industries such as the local oil and gas, robotics, maritime and ICT sectors we have locally.
Indeed science should be the collective effort to enhance the knowledge-toolkit available to innovators and engineers in all countries around the world who can then take enhanced knowledge and apply it locally. :)
It is initiative like those that will truly help expand scientific knowledge to everyone in the world. We badly need it right now!!
