A Beam Of Hope In The MIddle East
Science is an area of life, where generally political and other prejudices are left behind. Get the facts right and the answers are generally good, but try to say follow extreme left or right wing views and they just don’t fit scientific facts.
So this article on the BBC’s web site about Sesame, a large synchrotron being built in Jordan, is a real beam of hope. Even the Israelis and the Iranians are working together on the project.
On a one to one level people do get on really well. I have a very varied mix of friends, and often will be sitting to chatting to a group which includes Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Humanists, Atheists etc. Not a problem. The issues are largely at a governmental level
