Technical and scientific progress were once the pride of Arab history. However, as shown in the recent past by relations within the United Nations, they now appear to be only a vague memory. And yet something is moving again. Arab scientists and journalists are attempting to bring science closer to Arab popular culture, not only because the economy needs new brains, but also to remove a dangerous sense of inferiority from society regarding the West. This has resulted in the appearance of exhibitions, festivals and even a reality show on this subject.
