“If you like, there is a Guinness time. The reason for that it's fundamental. It is not that we have to keep shortening the time. It turns out all molecular and biological systems have speeds of the atoms move inside them, the fastest possible speeds are determined by their molecular vibrations and this speeds is about a kilometre per second.” IfsReasonMovingTurnsFundamentalsDeterminedSpeedAtomsVibrationsGuinness Author:Ahmed H.

“I think the Nobel Prize helps for a number of reasons. Number one, if I can be frank, there is these people will feel by getting a Nobel Prize that I'm one of them, that it is possible to contribute on the world map of science and technology. And the other thing also which I'm hoping for is that the government in Egypt is willing and interested in promoting science and technology and this is an ideal time now to be able to do something.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldFeelsI CanReasonHelpingGovernmentAbleNumbersTechnologyWillingIdealsPrizeMapsFrankEgyptPromotingNobelScience And TechnologyNobel Prize Author:Ahmed H.
