"The world is my country, science is my religion" - Christiaan Huygens

Four centuries ago, the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens was able to communicate clearly and in a few words, what world leaders in the 21st century can still not understand.

Elected leaders of the free world still fight wars based on holy whispers and believe in divine truths that justify ravaging lives in the carrying-out of their just crusades.

The answers to our problems lie in our past. We should dare to dig deeper.

Ask why.
