Shaw-IAU Workshops by the OAE

Astronomy is the only science whose education connects us psychologically to the territory of the unknown vastness and depths of spacetime. This leads us to weave together the fabric of humanity by eliminating the mundane aspects of conflicts and anxiety. However, to realize the full spectrum of such possibilities, I suggest a "touristic approach" in a "jigsaw model" with inescapble singularities of incompleteness. The expected viability of this model would ensure that the astronomy education leads to gross happiness and calmness on this planet.
