Back to big picture
Human knowledge is limited, at each era of human
history, there exist different crisis that human
faces.
14
Crisis in this era

• Climate Change
• ? Green Energy
• Energy Depletion
• ? Renewable Energy

These concerns were not mentioned when I was a
college student. ? The key of human success is
that each of you learned the basic science and
push the human knowledge boundaries to meet the
human societys needs.
