Isaac Newton: “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”

Present Challenge:

How to Learn from the Past and

the Experience of Others?

and our inner child

Global science advances through the sharing of the experiences of scientists around the world. Today more than ever with the means provided by technology, the Internet, and the rigor of the scientific method, learning times have been reduced to such a point that in a short time a new discovery can be replicated and verified in different parts of the planet. .

This works very well for science, but what about the ordinary citizen who does not follow science and who gradually sees and feels further away from the scientific knowledge that he does not understand. Our current society seems to resign itself to a separation between ordinary citizens and those who hold the power to learn, experiment, discover and open new paths towards the future. In the 20th century it was like we were not interested in continuing learning and those who had the knowledge were not always able to teach. Luckily in this new century there is more interest in learning and more exhibitors who want to transmit knowledge in a way that is understood. You just must look for it and separate what is important from what is superficial and false.

The challenge of the 21st century is to learn from the past and the experiences of others, otherwise we lock ourselves in and alienate ourselves more and more in ourselves and we disassociate ourselves from the Life that surrounds us and of which we are a part.
