The 200-year anniversary of the National Congress of Chile was an opportunity to pause and reflect on the future along with Nobel Prize winners in the sciences, astrophysicists, mathematicians, and engineers, among others. Science and technology will be the engine of development in the coming years, just ast oil was the engine for the 20th century.
The Congress invited all to ask themselves how biotechnology, nanotechnology, and astrophysics will influence our society, which morality will drive our decisions, which relevant facts will be left for historians to interpret, and which questions will be asked in philosophy.
