Scientist TEL AVIV (JTA) — An Israeli scientist has compared the tech- nologies of Israel and Egypt and found Israel's vastly superior. According to Prof. Yuval Nee- man, head of the faculty of phy- sics and astronomy at Tel Aviv University; Israel enjoys a seven- to-one ratio over Egypt in techno- logical fields, an increase from the four-to-one ratio that existed a few years ago. If Israel's development continues at its present or higher rate, the gap will be even further widened, Prof. Neeman said. He explained the disparity by observing that Egypt receives ready-made technologies from out- side without any sound foundation of its own. He said there was no scientific atmosphere in Egypt for basic research and many Egyptian scientists pursue their fields abroad. 'IC Super King size.
