For this Mexican theoretical physicist, who specializes in the study of black holes and gravitational waves, scientific knowledge is essential for developing critical thinking: “Science can be as creative as art, because it encourages us to be curious and imaginative, but it also leads us to ask essential questions about the universe and nature.” For him, scientific thinking is essential to question any aspect of life: “Science is not just a collection of data and research, it is a way of thinking, a way of facing the world without believing anything, being critical and skeptical,” he explains. Alcubierre is world-renowned for having developed a theoretical mathematical model that would allow faster-than-light travel ('Alcubierre Metric') without violating Einstein's 'Theory of General Relativity'. Passionate about science fiction, he came up with his theory while watching 'Star Trek'. With a PhD from Cardiff University, Miguel Alcubierre is currently a researcher at the Institute of Nuclear Sciences at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). He is also a great defender of scientific education, which he considers essential to “understand how the universe behaves, but also to better understand the technological society in which we live,” he concludes. #Let'sLearnTogether
