I am afraid the "speed of light" (that is, fundamental) problems are the
only problems scientists should try to resolve (besides, you are not just a

destruction of human rationality through science education should stop.
Only in university auditoriums scientists' voices may be heard. Any other
activity, including shouting slogans at politicians, is inefficient. For
the moment the slogans I am shouting at scientists are also inefficient:
