Will the US Participate?

Posted by Eric at 10:01 am. Filed under: General

Trey Jackson interviewed Newt Gingrich. Newt’s response to one question was fascinating.

There will be 4 times as much scientific knowledge in the next 25 years, scientific advance, as there was in the last 25. So, 2005 to 2030 will equal 1905 to 2005. It will be extraordinary. The only question is whether it’s going to be in the U.S. or whether it’s going to be in China and India because our math and science education have collapsed and because we are not making the investments in basic science we need to. The challenge for us is, barring a major war, humans are going to continue to move forward, technology and science are going to continue to expand. The question is how much of it will be in the U.S. and how much will Americans be profiting from it?
