KARACHI: Only Dr Farooq Sattar, with his sense of mischief and politics, can, in one speech, connect the Newtonian law of gravitation or Qanoon-e-Saql to the Pakistani psyche.
On Thursday, Dr Sattar was the guest speaker for the inauguration of the fourth international symposium on infrastructure engineering in developing countries organized by NED University at the Expo Centre. He urged the engineers present to study the ‘sunnat’ (or actions) of Newton.
“When the apple fell into Newton’s lap, he didn’t respond by shoving it into his jaws,” said Sattar. “He didn’t eat it. Rather, he went on a journey of curiosity.” He asked, why did this apple fall from up to down. “Why did it not go up and up?”
A sterner message was next. “The people who acted on Newton’s sunnat made a tiny little apple in the shape of iPhones and iPads,” he said. “They dropped the apple back into our palms again.”
