Isaac Asimov on Creativity in Education & The Future of Science

Isaac Asimov was born on January 2, 1920 (maybe). To celebrate his birthday, here he is talking to Bill Moyers in a rare 1988 interview that details the need to reintroduce creativity to science education, and in which he foresees the future we live in today, and why science was and will be the key to our success as a culture.

“Science does not purvey absolute truth, science is a mechanism. It’s a way of trying to improve your knowledge of nature, it’s a system for testing your thoughts against the universe and seeing whether they match.”

True then, true today, true forever. For the whole interview, click the link below.
