| 00:01 → 00:07 |
We’re faced today with a staggering number of problems, and you can just list them off. |
| 00:07 → 00:12 |
Energy is probably the major one, and it turns out if you solve that, many things will follow, |
| 00:12 → 00:16 |
but there’s healthcare etc., and... |
| 00:18 → 00:23 |
...each one of these has got specific aspects of it. |
| 00:25 → 00:28 |
Spend some time and learn about it... |
| 00:28 → 00:34 |
and if you can’t find a piece of one of those types of problems that you... |
| 00:34 → 00:36 |
...want to sink your teeth into, |
| 00:36 → 00:39 |
if you can't do that then you probably shouldn’t get involved in science, |
| 00:39 → 00:44 |
because my goodness that’s about as rich of an area as one can possibly think. |
| 00:45 → 00:49 |
And right now we have an amazing set of tools, and amazing capacity to... |
| 00:49 → 00:53 |
...study these things and use our science to change the world we live in. |
| 00:54 → 00:57 |
So I would suggest, to anybody who wants to get into it: |
| 00:57 → 01:03 |
Pick a big problem, begin to dissect it into its various components and think: |
| 01:03 → 01:09 |
I think I have an idea here, I would like to learn more about this and begin focusing. |
| 01:10 → 01:17 |
Sometimes it looks like the atmosphere of science is just... |
| 01:17 → 01:20 |
...all the stuff happening all the time, too fast. |
| 01:20 → 01:24 |
It’s not. It turns out, science does move forward, but... |
| 01:24 → 01:30 |
...from an invention to a technology that comes out in the marketplace, it’s generally 15 years. |
| 01:32 → 01:37 |
So I think it just seems like it moves fast, when you’re looking on the outside. |
| 01:37 → 01:41 |
On the inside, you get involved in some of these deep problems. |
| 01:43 → 01:48 |
I know it can be tremendously exciting, but you have to find something you really believe in. |
