Physical Experiments Are So Passé

In the whacky world of science, we had theorists like Isaac Newton and experimentalists such as Robert Hooke. Professor Pankaj Pankaj (The University of Edinburgh) champions a third category: simulators. He believes most experiments are as passé as a disco ball in a modern nightclub. From evaluation of nuclear power plants, to design of orthopaedic implants, Pankaj declares computer simulations as the superheroes of science, engineering and medicine – closer to reality, budget-friendly, and with fewer risks than a cup of herbal tea. But is he right? Join Pankaj and debate the future of science!
