Pakistan: The place of Great Scientists and Research


research Ilustration(pexels/choknti khongcum)


Pakistan is the first Islamic country to have nuclear weapons in the world, in the course of its history Pakistan has given birth to many great scientists and people who have a strong influence on research development. One of the facts is that Pakistan is a small country compared to Russia but the country's canal system is the largest compared to Russia and is the best in the world. Although according to a survey conducted based on information technology by LirneAsia, a Sri Lanka-based research institute, it was stated that as many as 69% of Pakistanis aged 15 to 65 years do not know about the internet. This survey was conducted from October to December 2017 to understand how citizens use or do not use technology-based communication services.

However, this cannot erase and change history, because there have also been many scientists and great people who have had a lot of influence and progress in technological development, some of which you should know:

1. Abdus Salam

Abdus Salam was born in Pakistan on January 29, 1962 he is a 21st century Muslim scientist who has succeeded in bringing a major influence on his thinking to the western world, he researched space and nuclear programs which then changed the views of thinkers in seeing the concept of the basic force that plays a role in influencing nature . Namely the electric force, magnetic force, gravity and the strong force that holds the pruton and neutrons close together in a pair of nuclei, as well as the weak force which, among other things, is responsible for the slow decay of radioactive nuclei. in the field of Nuclear science so that it attracted Canada's interest to cooperate until when Abus Salam died on Thursday 21 November 1996 at Oxford at the age of 70 he received less than 39 honorary doctorates causa.

2. Abdul Qader Khan

Abdul Qader Khan or commonly known as AQ Khan is a Nuclear father who also comes from Pakistan, he was born in India on April 1, 1936 then decided to migrate to Pakistan in 1952 due to political reservations and religious violence in the Western Country. The scientist had a very important role in setting up Pakistan's first nuclear enrichment plant in 1998 and for the first time the Pakistani nation conducted a Nuclear test. This is a reinforcing evidence to ensure Pakistan's position as the seventh place in the world.

The existence of Abdul Qader Khan is considered a threat by western countries because of his success in building a nuclear network that has the latest types of technological designs after seeing many developments in nuclear technology in western countries. Iran's centrifugal program at the Natanz reactor, which has become a subject of much western discussion, from design to material, cannot be separated from the role of AQ Khan. He has also visited North Korea several times to then learn about missile technology which is a barter tool for the development of nuclear technology that he knows .

3. Basit Frooq Alvi and Amjad Farooq

Two brothers from Lagore, Punjab, Pakistan created a PC virus in 1986 in the form of MS-DOS. brain is the first computer virus created to inject a PC made by IMB by exploiting Microsoft Windows. They discovered this because they were tired of customers using illegal copies of the software so they created Brain to protect the software which replaced the working sector of the floppy book with a virus. This virus contains only a hidden copyright warning message and does not damage any data.

4. Muhammad Mohidding

Graduated from scientists in the field of technological development, a scientist who is known for his services in the fields of medicine and surgery, the Pakistan-born doctor received his MBBS degree from DowMedical College, Karachi in 1989. He moved to the US then received his first scholarship in transplant biology at the University of Pennsylvania , then a fellowship in bone marrow transplantation at the Institute of Cellular Therapeutic, Drexel University. His discovery that is very famous in recent years is the success in performing pig heart transplants to humans. This is a new breakthrough in the world of transplantation and surgery medicine after a long period of experimentation and data collection.
