WHAT WE DO?
— 12 Years Researching
Origin, the first stage of existence: The curiosity to know the origin of the human being and the universe allows us to overcome our immediate limits to explore and expand the knowledge of our environment and our experience.
Science is the art of curiosity, advancing methodically in the pursuit of new knowledge and a better understanding of the Universe.
It is the biggest human collective endeavor and it has shapen for better or worse the world we live in. Each new hypothesis, each new approach, each new question, is a new piece in the construction of tomorrow’s society.
