SINGAPORE – The scientific community can collaborate on the advancement of knowledge, regardless of the ups and downs of international relations, said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on Tuesday.
He gave the example of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, which was won by physicists Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger for developing experimental tools that helped prove quantum entanglement – a phenomenon where states of particles depend on one another regardless of distance, described by scientist Albert Einstein as “spooky action at a distance”.
Now in its 11th year, the Global Young Scientists Summit will run until Friday at the Singapore University of Technology and Design. There will be lectures and panel discussions with 21 eminent scientists, including Nobel laureates and winners of the Millennium Technology Prize, awarded by independent foundation Technology Academy Finland.
“Without the prompt and significant developments in diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics, we might still be holding this summit virtually,” he added.
