If you like, there is a Guinness time. The reason for that it's fundamental. It is not that we have to keep shortening the time. It turns out all molecular and biological systems have speeds of the atoms move inside them, the fastest possible speeds are determined by their molecular vibrations and this speeds is about a kilometre per second.
Ahmed H. ZewailFor me to sit down here, even as a Nobel Laureate and make a prediction about which science I think that will be a mistake.
Ahmed H. ZewailI thought in my Nobel Lecture I pointed that I was delighted that the Swedish Academy of Science did not quote anything about my current work right now, because the current work that my group is focusing on is actually both the time resolve electrons and possibly x-rays to be able to get the architecture of these molecules, the molecular structures themselves, of very complex biological systems. That's the ultimate goal.
Ahmed H. ZewailI found with my students they don't necessarily look at journals any more, but they print right away from the internet what's relevant to what's he doing you see.
