turned 70 years president of the Russian Academy of nauk- Vladimir E. Fortov. In the Kremlin, the scientist received by President Vladimir Putin. It was, in particular, to work together with the German and Japanese scientists to create plasma medicine – it is one of the positive effects of combining a large and Medical Academy. More Forts urged the head of state to support the program development breakthrough when biologists, physicists and humanities among a large range of tasks choose the most important. Without proper funding research braked.
Earlier Vladimir Putin at a meeting of the Council for Science and Education, said more than 150 strong research centers and universities, which play a significant role in the world of science. They account for 70% of all patents granted in Russia. But at the same time, these institutions account for only 10% of all schools. What is wrong and how he sees the future of Russian science Vladimir Fortov?
“The work of President assumes full load, virtually 24 hours a day, so about any hobby can be no question, with the exception of a hobby. It is a very short – two to nedelyu- – a trip to mountain on skis. And I combine this with the scientific conference “- says Forts.
Vladimir Fortov in the company of other academics. Under sail on the yacht they rounded Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope. Make the transition from Antigua in the Caribbean Sea to Scotland. Later Forts even promised to go round the world trip, if he is not elected president of the Russian Academy of Sciences. And probably I would have gone. Anyone who knows Fortova, saying he – man of his word. But he was elected, and for nearly three years, the future of Russian fundamental science in his hands.
“The Academy of Sciences should be more democratic, on the one hand, on the other – it has to be more dynamic, must be nearer to the practical problems, to serve our country. I assume this and proceeded when going to these elections, “- said Forts.
He spent his childhood in Noginsk near Moscow. My father was a test engineer, mother – a teacher of history. Forts recalls that he was always open to knowledge. I spent whole days on the aircraft junkyard near the territory of the military airfield, where there were flight tests of the new technology. You could spend hours digging in the internal structure of the aircraft, turning and examining the different parts.
“I’ve always been interested in two disciplines – mathematics and physics. An important role played by the atmosphere of the 60s, when the satellites, nuclear weapons attracted people.” Nine Days in One Year “- a film that many of my colleagues and I also made a very big impression,” – says Forts.
His teachers were outstanding scientists: Zeldovich, Sheyndlin Prokhorov. Forts started as a junior researcher. At 23, he defended his candidate, 30 – doctorate. Today he is – the world-famous academician, founder and leader of a scientific field – the dynamic physics of nonideal plasma. Understand that it is not having higher technical education, it is difficult. Many years Forts heads the Institute of high temperatures.
The weight of the world’s largest steel explosion chamber – 800 tons. The thickness of the walls – 10 centimeters, enough to carry out explosions to one ton of TNT. It was established at the plant in Severodvinsk on manufacturing nuclear submarines. In Moscow in the early ’90s brought the camera in the water, then loaded onto a huge platform and dragged to the Institute of tractors. In some places even it had to cut electrical wires and extend the road.
Another pride of the institute – a laboratory where fort with colleagues involved in the plasma field. A wide range of the most famous experiment “Plasma Crystal”, which scientists carried out on the ISS.
“We have been able to interest the astronauts in our experiments. We have a special laboratory, where there is an exact copy of what is in space. It is often there are things that we do not expect. There is an interesting mode that we are in the world can not imagine, but in space we can, because there’s no gravity, “- said Forts.
Reaching seems all tops academic career, Vladimir Fortov successfully worked in the civil service. In the 90s he served as minister of science and technology, as well as being Deputy Prime Minister. Then he returned to science until in May 2013 not announced his candidacy for president of the RAS. He does not like noisy celebrations. In its 70 regrets that he can not devote a lot of time to research. A secret certainly dream to make a tour around the world.
“I’ve always been interested in the great geographical discoveries. Maybe because my mother was a historian and very much gave me, including an understanding of the exciting events in the history of mankind when people discovered new lands. That’s me still a stimulant effect “- confessed Vladimir Fortov.
