More now from the National Competitiveness forum with the focus on Public Private partnerships and manufacturing. This is an hour and a half. Good morning, everyone. Its great to be back with the council again. So i only have half a voice, im afraid. I left the other half in stockholm a couple days ago. I was very privileged to get to attend the nobel prize ceremonies because the National Science association supported the 3 physicists that won the prize for Gravitational Waves for 40 years. I think thats a good place to start. [ applause ] its good for all of us to appreciate just what a high risk high reward investment is all about. So that was a progress of technology and super duper engineering challenges that had to be overcome. A lot of people, as you might guess, came and went. It involved multidisciplinary teams of people who did the numerical relativity using Super Computers so we actually knew when the first gravitational wave was detected, what the source was, that it was two
Presentation for our website, and it would be dracting to have a ring tone sound out speaking of the recording we want to be able to hear everyones questions clearly during question and a portion so please come to the mic on either side or actually right over here on my left. For tonight it also a if i could ask to fold your chairs and it would be a big help to even of the event staff here at the store. Sorry. Now to our guest, brian deere, hes founded multiple companyies like eventful and coastal net computing, hes written for publications such as Educational Technology, iee expert an san diego reader, hes experienced in the field of computer based education, especially the plato system short for program october for automatic teaching operations for individual. Plato and engineers shape the early digital age with his influence chat room and instant messaging and screen savers and more created at the very beginning and friendly orange dploa is aisle history. Publishers weekly cause it
Here, your ideas, not where youre from, matters. Jared created uber. John, from stripe, is from ireland. Peter thiel was born in germany. Tesla and spacex are run by a south african. Apple by the son of the syrian. You get the idea. One country has suddenly been looked upon with suspicion. Russia has been meddling in our election. Executives from facebook and twitter will soon have to explain to the u. S. Senate how their companies were taken advantage of by russians. The u. S. Government advises you not use the Russian Security software. You know, it is a tough time to be a russian. Nick is the founder of the San Francisco based capital, says he hears our suspicions couched asna as nervous jokes. Let me guess, the joke is something like, hey, we should have some collusion as to what were going to have for lunch. Is that pretty much the joke were getting . Yeah, i hope you didnt invite me to collude with the russians because i have nothing to do with the government. Yeah. You hear that
Its good for all of us to appreciate just what a high risk, high reward investment is all about. So if that was a progress of technology and super duper engineering challenges that had to be overcome, a lot of people as you might guess came and went. And it involved multidisciplinary teams of people who did the numerical relativity for computers so thats new in the first gravitational wave was detected. And what the source was, that was two colliding black holes that were in a postbinary system. The most recent gravitational wave detection to neutron stars emerging. So its, but it was a very long tail. There are many many directors, many and its a Program Officers involved National Science board, they changed over large number of times during that interval and had to improve all the funding and that of Course Congress of course was the ultimate arbiter of appropriations and making the decision to continue an investment but nobody was quite sure what would have a result so how risky is
