Father of India’s nuclear programme and one of the country’s topmost scientists, APJ Abdul Kalam, on Friday, took school students through a unique journey of metaphysics, the Milky Way and a world of pure science, briefly interrupting to eulogize “God” for him being a “great designer”.
Interacting with school students here at the Raj Bhavan, Kalam while dwelling on the vastness of space, the mystery of the black hole and the Milky Way said: “God is a great designer… but some scientist may not agree”.
He added that while Venus was a hot boiling mass and Mars was cold uninhabitable planet, “ earth was put in a suitable orbit … and blessed” so that life could sustain here, while implicitly highlighting the divine intervention for such a unique creation.
Kalam also took direct questions from the school children and answered in his own candid manner, breaking conventions and security barricades to reach the children on several occasions.
“Indian minds are great” Kalam said, adding that an “ignited mind” is superior to all resources found on the earth and urged the school children to use it prudently for nation-building.(2005)
