| Contents | What are matter and life? What are human beings and mind? What are the environmental problems from viewpoints of Earth and space? A “New Synthesis of Knowledge” is urgently necessary for understanding how these problems are interrelated. This forum will deal with multidisciplinary themes such as mechanisms of Japan Earthquakes, world of elementary particles, science of mind, problems of education, biological effects of weak electromagnetic fields, perspectives of science & technology, science communication, and space weather. Based on intensive discussions about the current states of the sciences, the world and human beings, we aim to make proposals for a new synthesis of knowledge leading toward a bright human future. The present two-day forum is entirely open to public including high school and junior high school students. |
