THE SCIENTIST'S COMPLAINT - In the interview with the weekly Oggi in the issue on newsstands from Thursday 22 September, the scientist warns: 'I am concerned about a phenomenon that is there for all to see: the alienation of young people. To the boys I say: use your brain instead of the pc. Smartphones are a bit like drugs, you have to be careful. The teenager becomes a prisoner of misinformation. Now with the metaverse he will end up taking refuge even more outside himself, in virtual reality. Humanity risks a spiritual disaster '.

BEYOND THE BODY - Faggin also tells Today about himself, how he changed the world and what he dedicated himself to afterwards: understanding who we are and where we are going. With a shocking theory: «We are not the body, we go beyond its duration. Science denies it, thinks it is a myth, but only because it has not yet studied this part of reality ».
