The Q & A section of the conference astonished Prof. Dr. Talby!
It was stated that the conference was quite colourful and fun due to the interesting questions asked by children aged 06-12. In fact, Prof Dr Mossadek Talby, who has conducted scientific studies on subatomic particles and has published many articles, answered students’ interesting questions about atoms, molecules and electrons and was surprised to find out that they even asked questions about quarks and leptons. Also, students, who listened to Prof. Prof. Dr. Mossadek Talby with interest and curiosity, asked questions about the substances that make up the universe, the particles that we see in the universe and the particles that interact between the bodies, and about the atoms in the human body. Making a statement regarding the students’ interests and questions Prof. Dr. Mossadek Talby promised to answer all the questions which the students would like to write and ask; and assured that he was willing to contribute to events similar to the one realised.
