• Showing the efficiency of the scientific methodology in explaining the biggest phenomena’s surrounding us by focusing on objectivity, refutability and applicability of natural sciences and their discoveries

In an Interview with Lawrence Krauss he said:

I think it’s very important that in the Arabic speaking world, what’s going to determine the difference between the countries that are living and the countries that aren’t are the skilled workforce that can appreciate the revolutions taking place in science, not just the abstract areas but also the applied areas, it’s important that people in the Arab world are exposed to such knowledge, and this project is essential for that to happen.

I think that this project is a fantastic thing to have, especially that it’s so popular in the Arab world, and this is the beginning of a new scientific revolution in the Arab world.
