Examining the meaning of science and self-discovery

Veritas Forums offer students deep insights into the difficult questions behind education, life, and human purpose. This Forum is designed to provide an extensive and academic investigation into the meaning of the Scientific Framework that heavily influences the world of academia and Western Society as a whole. Discussing this question will be our distinguished speakers who have lived and worked within the sciences and have gained notoriety for their excellence and achievement in the study of Physics, Astronomy, and Chemistry.
