The UP College of Science Dean, Dr Caesar Saloma, just had his second lecture this morning about physics and society. So, as he had said, the semester is right about to end (Awwww. Time's so fast. It seems that I had just entered UP yesterday.).
To summarize his lecture, its main points are: 1) physics became king because it has pushed beyond the limits of other sciences, especially about the universe; 2) physics empowers the society because of its versatility on applications; 3) a good university is a research university; and 4) a greater number of doctors of philosophy is needed because of their research experiences. There seems to be more details that I cannot expound anymore because this blog might not be able to contain all of them. Pardon, everyone.
Now, to summarize my insight on his lecture, here is my quote: "Something can just be labeled good once it has pushed beyond the limits of its exploration."
And a word for every physics major: "When those guys underestimate us, tell them, 'Don't ever say that it's just physics.' Say that it's physics.'"
