1996 max quantity

A logical way to increase quality is to maximize quantity.



But at the same time, entertainers and athletes have done everything to maximize their quality. An ability to execute a quadruple jump in gymnastics is an effort to reach international reputation. A young student gymnast undergoes a learning process conducted by a team: 3-dimensional audiovisual learning with computerized biometrics in all dimensions, self-hypnosis with visual imagination to maximize the ability to relax, concentrate, optimal nutrition with novel sports medicine to control the energy consumption, excellent equipment with unique ceramic materials. Shortly, both quantity and quality in the effort have been maximized. And all these are also brought into the educational programs for physical education.
And arts are changing along the same trends. Gauguin and Cezanne revolutionized visual arts. With these sudden changes, we thought that Matisse’s blue would stay forever. But the Greenwich Village group did not stop: Jackson Pollock, Cy Twombly, Jasper Johns, and all the others changed; changed towards new images. Today, under the Brooklyn Bridge, famous artists have their exhibition: they work together with mixed media, they grow plants in controlled dimensions using lighting, videos in the harmony with music, and they use relaxation methods to optimize inspiration. Now we may not understand all of it, but they are famous and they get support for they work in the front.
How often do we build teamwork around our scientific topics? Shouldn't an effort to investigate non-equilibrium phase transitions for proteins follow the above lines? All the research we do here is basically of high quality, we may proceed in the front of our detailed topic. But do we maximize the efforts in our research in a high quality manner?
No, our approaches are limited by our own individual minds.
So, for instance, the efforts understanding non-equilibrium phenomena in nature should involve teamwork. Physical chemistry of polymers with its present stage of knowledge will have an extreme importance in the future science. We can control the time scale even during the non-equilibrium conditions. But one has to understand also the complexity of biomolecules, one has to master computer modeling, one has to be a specialist in mathematics, a specialist in scattering methods is needed, and thus we have to build innovative inter-disciplinary teams to optimize, maximize our concentration, knowledge and efforts in order to be in the front.
