ROUND TABLE: STUDY OF OUTER SPACE. THE VALUE OF KNOWLEDGE FOR THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY

There are still many unanswered questions in astronomy; however, pursuing them is a fundamental part of the human being. As Ahmed Zewail (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1999) said, ‘Preserving knowledge is easy. Transferring knowledge is also easy. But making new knowledge is neither easy nor profitable in the short term’. Research is the power that enriches the culture of any society with reason and basic truth.
