I'm not looking for the best of the best per se, as in, which country's got the best technology or a better technology on a particular field; it's an analytical case study. Knowing their best technology just helps analyze their scientific R&D's evolutionary path better.

I'm trying to look for what Iran has got right in its R&D and see if we can implement it in a Korean environment.

So far I've focused much on reverse-engineering associated with military hardware and space program only. Inevitably some dude will start pulling my hair and tell me to start looking at industrial technology, agricultural technology, (lol actually no idea), medical technology, transportation technology, but actually that's all bullshit because when they say 'transportation technology' they are telling me to compare Hyundai cars to some random Iranian car or something for shits and giggles.  ::) In retrospect, the best of the best 'transportation technology' of Korea still belongs to its military, e.g. Aegis destroyers (navigation technology) and KT-50 fighters. (aviation technology) Have we reverse-engineered an Airbus 320 while I wasn't looking? lol.

These Aegis destroyers, KT-50 fighters, and most of the technology associated with them are useless for civilian application. And for that, most people who are likely to examine my papers are not going to take them seriously, because it's not going to improve their quality of life, which is one of the fundamental purposes of a research. (improving the quality of life) But why should my research be particularly useful to the ordinary Korean mankind when it's gonna be snubbed by them anyway?

It's hard to compare industrial and agricultural technology because they are extensive and often universal throughout the world. We do not know the origin of these technology so we won't know if its really indigenous to a specific country or actually just improved copycats of earlier versions.

It's like telling me to compare one Korean factory's equipment to an Iranian factory's equipment. There are thousands of factories. >.> And they look god damn similar to each other, man. Let's just look at the products of these industrial technology. Military technology inherently has its roots on industrial technology because you need industry to make a military hardware. By comparing military technology, you are already comparing an industrial technology that's far more advanced than ordinary civilian technology.

For medical technology I lack the familiarity and the interest on the subject matter.

In the end, I believe that the questions that I'll be addressing in this research will be more philosophical rather than practical; questions such as what positive scientific attitudes and philosophical mindsets did Iran display that made Iran's scientific R&D more successful than expected? (I'm gonna include 'more respect for the younger generations of scientists and engineers' as a hypothesis on this one) What circumstances caused Iran to foster these scientific attitudes and philosophical mindsets that made Iran's scientific R&D more successful than expected? (preliminary hypotheses will be something like 'lack of foreign support forced Iran to be more resourceful with its limited domestic resources'; and also 'Some of Iran's scientific R&D are closely tied to its strategic interests, e.g. ballistic missile technology') What conditions gave rise to the circumstances that caused Iran to foster these scientific attitudes and philosophical mindsets that made Iran's scientific R&D more successful than expected? (This will include the study of Iran's history, culture(?), economy, and politics; e.g. why Iran lacks technological support from other countries, why Iran has poor diplomatic relationship with the West and Israel, what is holding Iran back from producing better economic and political environments that are more conducive for scientific R&D, etc.)

Ah whatever, as long as I could find a less obnoxious panel of thesis examiners and get a good grade out of it, I wouldn't care whether my research's gonna be useful or not.

Do you even know why, not just Iran, but just about the whole Middle East, about every Muslim country hates Israel?! ... You do know that half the government in the United States are Jewish and/or support Israel too, right? There's your answers.

I didn't know half the government in the U.S. were Jewish >.>

I don't believe that.... it doesn't even fit with the stereotype  :P

However the generalisation that most bank owners are Jews has a lot of truth to it however and we all know that bankers have a huge amount of power through influence.

darkjedi:
Hm, I don't think the Jewish bankers of the U.S. is the primary reason why Iran's economy is stagnating though. At least, there are no obvious ways of finding out without investigating beyond the Internet. My guess so far had always been the lack of diplomatic relationship between the West and Iran; lack of trade other than just oil and technology transfer, to be most precise. (sanctions) Their infrastructure couldn't keep up with their growing population and economy. The money they earn goes down the drain if they don't have an infrastructure that can convert these money into something useful. And they can't buy a lot of stuff from abroad either to compensate for insufficient domestic capacity because they have poor relationship with the West to begin with.

relic2279:
That would be their own fault though it seems. If they had allowed nuclear inspectors in, and complied with the treaty they signed, the sanctions could have been lifted. I believe inspectors were recently allowed in (not sure if they have been kicked out again though) so we will see.
