Are We Reaching the End Limits of Science? I Prof. Pervez Hoodbhoy 

Hoodbhoy sir is shining star in Pakistan. Hope pak people learn from him..... His blackhole lectures are very knowledgeful....

Dr Hoodboy Janaab has always made us proud

Dear Dr Hoodboy Saheb, Once again I was showered upon with the great wisdom of yours. I wish we had some way of meeting. I would love to spend some time with you. I wish there were more people like you. Thanks a lot for being there.

very useful seminar..pide should hold more such events

Saigol Foundation,a private foundation by Saigol Brothers from Lahore awarded me afellowship to do graduate work at MIT..Prof.Dr.Nasir Fazal gold medalist Cambridge USA.

No one in pakistan is eligible to interview Dr.Pervez like science giant.

Very good suggestions at 44:00 mins. But we still need one university where a hybrid type of education Is possible - for the naturally talent : main lectures by professors from the first world , supported by assistants from Pakistan for tutorials and examinations etc. On the other hand, what are we going to do with our army of professors and phd s, who take pride in producing students who have plus a hundred papers in their phd dissertation ? They will oppose any reform tooth and nail.

Secularism and press developed Europe, Pakistan left Secularism and democracy in 1947 but India adopted secularism and democracy so it developing towards developed, similarly Bangladesh is doing the same as India is doing because of secularism and democracy.

Dr. Hoodbhoy says Hindus advanced in studies because Muslim rulers employed Hindus for accounting and business deals and the British repressed Muslims after 1957 mutiny more than Hindus. Wrong. Hindus are inclined towards studies and knowledge genetically, which is proved by enormous numbers of books written by Hindus (Sanatanies) like the Ved,(not Vedas), on astrology, on medicine, on sexology, ancient Universities of Nalanda & Takshashila. He admitted that all the people of Pakistan were Hindus or otherwise, who were converted to Islam after rule of invaders. Dr. Hoodbhoy himself had admitted in his so many talks at various times, that In Pakistan children are not encouraged to ask questions (watch his talks on introduction of new curriculum in Pakistan) . I don't know why he avoided this fact when he answered the question.

14:17 He literally said "Agle Janam me kahin aur paida hona chahta hu" meaning he's somehow inspired by the rebirth philosophy of Hinduism.❤

Both Nadeem and Pervez were pretty bold in this discussion off course within limits as permitted. They fail to mention that Bharat since ages always had a flourishing university system - Nalanda, Takshashila (in present day Pakistan), Kashi, Kashmir etc where sciences and arts training was imparted. The university system was an extension of the gurukul system that were present locally and embedded into Santana Dharma (includes Buddhism and Jainism) where knowledge seeking is sought and not believing. The question on why science did not flourish in Pakistan should be reposed as why science does not have any correlation with Islam (I bet both Nadeem and Pervez were itching to do so but settled on safety). Simple answer to this question can be found by understanding why Bakhtiyar Khalji burnt whole of Nalanda university in the 11th century. . It is said that it took 6 months to burn all university. Off course, he killed thousands of teachers and students. We cannot fathom how much knowledge was lost forever. But why did he do it - answer lies in the ideology he was dutifully following.

Problem is education ecosystem in Pakistan. Added to it Islamization. Prof is right. Start with skill building.

@03:45. "Chimgaadad ki aankhen nahi hoti". Sir, that is not correct. Googling "bats eyes" will turn up photos of bats with eyes. True, they are adapted to extremely low light. They do use very sophisticated sonar. But they do have eyes.

The age of a professor teaching in the school is over. Over the time there will be a cheap education where you can access pre-recorded instructions and work with various instructions to resolve any issue you may have. However, premium and expensive education will be where a student work with a professor to experiment and research.

Pakistan has best Madarsa in the world which produces World best Maulvis in World. This is expartise which no other country posses. They have made thinking under defined Parameters what to wear how to be one look wear . Maulana Tariq Jameel Engineer Mirza Maulana Tariq Masood are examples.

The Holy Quran states that in last era the earth will more treasures for the world will be recognized of new technowlogy and for more progress after tadabber and research the relgion doese not forbade to further reseach .science is also proove for the gift by God .ilam

Bhai we are fundamentally blind followers (Muqallid) in science, religion and politics. Taqleed is the main reason behind this inertia

ہود بھائی بلاشبہ بہت اعلئ دماغ ہیں۔ اور سائنس کی بے حد اہمیت ہے۔ لیکن پاکستان کے تناظر میں سیاسی نظام حکومت، معاشی ترقی اور مینجمنٹ سائنسسز کی زیادہ ضرورت ہے۔ کیونکہ ہم بہت پسماندہ ہیں۔ جو سائنسی ترقی ہو چکی ہے اسے ملک میں لایا جائے۔

Great discussion but I didn’t think it will be any benefit as our socio political jantta are not aware if these intellectual discussion and now our society marshal races children are keen to send their offsprings to Madrassa rather than schools

...hm abhi tk compressor NAHI banatay... Sir, jhan aik zardari Sb pe BHARI aur sher ik WARI phair ho wahan aur 100 saal bhi Kuch NAHI hona. Somehow ye duo khandaan, awam ko ye smjhaney mein kamiab ho gaey Hain k rule krna in he duo khamdaanoan ki ijaradaari hai.

5 kids are in audience. This country is doomed.

we should convert the fancy officers’s mess and Clubs to train young middle class people in IT and Artificial intelligence and emerging technologies . That will add value for the nation 🎉

Pervez inadvertently mentions a belief in rebirth in a discussion in Pakistan (at 14:23) - a Sanathana Dharma philosophy and antithesis to Abrahamic belief system especially Islam 😃

😢😢😢😢educaion and religion are separate 😊😊😊😊

Well, what do you expect Pakistanis, Bactyayr Khalji burnt Nalanda university in India years ago. He killed science learned by thousands of Indians.

What Noble Prize candidates, what a waste of time and what a waste of poor Pakistani‘s money

No original work is done in India. The education system hardly encourages curiorisity among school students. Large sections of Indians either don't send their students to school or go to government schools where there is no building. Often there is just one teacher. The elite colleges like IITs, etc. get students from upper caste, upper class coming from English medium private school. Even they are mediocre because our education system follows the colonial system where creativity is not encouraged. Students are made to mug up a whole array of books. Even the entrance exams to IITs, medical and other technical institutes is a sort of lottery of students answering a very long list of objective questions. I can understand Pakistan is worse but India is not known for breakthroughs in science. India produces technical personnel who are re-educated and absorbed by companies in the West. India provides cheap low-level software personnel through large Indian companies which don't develop their own products but provide support services like network maintenance, adapting software for different uses. Our space programme has been heavily dependent on Soviet and even Western technology. Indians too are known for jugad but that doesn't demand the rigours of science.
