If good postgraduate students from Armenia want to collaborate, then I am ready with great pleasure. Astrophysicist Garik Israelian, the creator and general organizer of Starmus International Festival, said this Wednesday at the Science & Business days 2022 conference in Yerevan.
He explained that he has not had an Armenian student yet, as there is no good course in astrophysics in Armenia, and there have been and are respective problems in the country.
“I do not know what advice to give to the Armenian postgraduate student in connection with studying astrophysics in Armenia. Why aren’t there good courses? They can be organized,” Israelian added.
The astrophysicist noted that foreign scientists today can accurately say what will happen in 10-20 years with this or that star at a great distance.
“Then these laws are also applied to the study of galaxies,” explained the scientist.
Israelian said that the number of musicians interested in science is growing, and they respect science.
“So we decided to establish cooperation with art critics and tell about science through art. Through music they tell about science. Music is a manifestation of emotions that has not changed for 5,000 years already. And the emergence of the science fiction genre in the 20th century greatly changed literature, art, music, which in turn changed people’s feelings, and also influenced the development of science,” he concluded.
It should be noted that Soviet Armenia was famous for its world-famous astrophysicists and the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory.
