Kroó Norbert: Revolutions in XXIst Century Science and Technology (2022)
ISBN: 9786155742385
Dennis Gabor, the Nobel Prize-winning Hungarian engineer-physicist and inventor of holography, redefined our approach to predicting the future with his book published in 1963 entitled Inventing the Future. This momentum was carried forward by John Brockman's paper published in 1991 dedicated to the third culture and then by his collection of reports published in 2000, in which he urged that scientists and empirical thinkers should offer a key to a better understanding of our world. Now, in the third decade of the third millennium, Professor Norbert Kroó, former President of the European Physical Society, paints an exciting vision of the future, guiding us through recent discoveries and inventions in his enjoyable style. This volume places a special emphasis on the moral aspect as well as the opportunities and risks involved in scientific research and economic development. It is common knowledge that creative foresight is a necessary quality of the true innovative spirit. Therefore, I recommend following this call to action, embedded in this exceptional physical discussion.
