"Don't underestimate the need for theory and fundamental scientific research. Einstein just started thinking and analysing, and came up with the relativity theory. That theory caused a revolution in science, and that revolution in science caused a revolution in society. But if Einstein would have been asked to think up something that would cause a revolution in science, he would have tried to improve the steam machine. It is indeed not good to only focus on theory, but you can't do anything without theory. It may seem efficient to only focus on practice, but only on the short term, because practice takes its tools from theory. If theory does not deliver new tools any more, practice can't work either. The only reasons why computers work, is that somebody developed a completely binary version of mathematics. He did so in the 19th century but there was no application for that at that moment. That application showed up decades later," Von Seydewitz said.
He took a sip of his water, and continued.
"Furthermore, the people in the field can't do anything practical without knowing the theory. So what you should do, is focusing on both theory and practice. Our universities do so. They consist of a part that is continuously thinking up and testing new ideas without an application and a part that searches for the right tool to solve a problem. And in this way the cooperation between our universities and our companies works. The companies define a problem and the universities look whether they have a solution for them, and if not, they develop a solution. It is also the universities that develop something and ask the companies if they can use it."
Von Seydewitz took another sip of his water.
"For foreign banks starting services in Polasciana, it shouldn't be a problem to get Eiffellandian or even EDF- or Germanic League- banks interested in doing so.
