12/05/2011 "So why have Egyptians gone against expectations, and what does the future hold in the postelection era?" Ahmed Zewail, the Egyptian-raised, 1999 Nobel laureate in chemistry asks in this editorial. The answer, he writes, is that three out of four "pillars of change" are being addressed, which has led to Egypt's tranformation.
"I believe Egypt's transformation is irreversible, that no force can ultimately deter the movement toward democracy. The 'barrier of fear' has dissolved, and Egyptians know they can demand and institute change, and that the mind-set of Tahrir Square is lasting."
