CUriosity

Stephen Hawking once said:

“It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. It’s a crazy world out there. Be curious”.

I wouldn’t say “disinterested” is the word, but rather students tend to be swamped by school, and life, and assignments, and exams.. that leaves little time for curiosity at the end of the day. Yet, that’s no excuse! So, as a group of 8 students across 4 faculties with a passion for reading, knowledge and writing, we are launching CUHK’s unique intellectual magazine titled, you guess it - CUriosity.

We hope you enjoy reading, and that it stimulates you to ask big questions, and better yet - search for answers.
