The Rector added that the work "seeks a convergence of the worlds of science and philosophy."

Finally, Juan Morales explained that all these years we have lived a virtual reality that has made us move away from the parallel daily life.

"We place uncertainties and perplexities, rejecting what has been built, delving into our weaknesses, to shout that what worked was not as good as it should or as perfect as it had to be," he said.
