Carlo Rovelli presents Anaximander and the Nature of Science

[@JanoDo]

Timestamps for the Q&A 54:39 Writing process in English and Italian 57:18 What do you think about modern crossover between physics and philosophy? 1:04:26 To what extent does quantum mechanics requires/benefits from philosophy? 1:08:45 Could the level of science (nowdays) be different have the naturalistic approach not been interrupted by external means (such as religion, church and others)? 1:15:49 As argued for philosophy and science, is there also significance in the conexion between science and art? 1:19:50 Do you think there is a conexion (or inspiration from) between the Anaximander's approach to evolution and some religious texts / creation stories (specially monotheistic, such as islam)? 1:21:47 Are there any other ideas/theories currently accepted that we unexpectedly can found in Anaximander's thoughts? 1:23:38 1) Are we (in the Humanities) losing interest in philosophy? and 2) Are there any other (leading) scientists interested in building these bridges between science and humanities or are you a rarity) 1:26:26 About the difficulty of convencing the public of changing paradigms and the role of science in building bridges to revolutionary ideas. 1:28:27 Is there any other historical example of a singular change of paradigm (meaning, happening in just one place at one time) as the Anaximander's cosmological view? 1:31:03 As we ((supposedly) approach a grand unifing theory, are we gonna get close to objective truth or keep leaning towards a subjective human perception?

Carlo is right on mark, but more importantly for science, he is particularly generous with his acute focus on the issue of science.by philosophical thinking . I feel he stays vehemently with humanity. .First Anaximander, second, Rovelli . Who now leads physics thinking ?- obviously a man who can create the space to conceiving himself - alighting on a Greek mountain with the altitude firmly put beneath his feet, a place in history where the nature of human reality was changed... Thank-you for your gracious gifts, Carlo Rovelli. I ask, watching you,, am I in the presence of a Son of Man ?

Bravo Dear Teacher Carlo ! Cosmos, ΚΟΣΜΟΣ, in Greek is Jewel, Beauty. His Book is ΠΕΡΙ ΦΥΣΕΩΣ, "About Nature". (and there comes ΗΡΑΚΛΕΙΤΟΣ of ΕΦΕΣΟΣ ! A Greek friend, Demetrios Maniates.

Wasnt Thales the first who built on the status quo and tweaked it? Although however Thales did not disagree with his madter but eith the status quo. He thought naturalistic and logical / analogous causes and ways of working. He didnt challenge hus master but the status quo and way of thinking as well, and Anacimander saw that you can challenge status quo of forever before.

If you feel like you have to make the distinction between Anaximander and Alexander, you are not taking your audience seriously just from the start. Why do I watch on? because Rovelli is very likable

All the holy books were written with Greek philosophers. The Arabs heard of the Greeks and the richest of the Arabs travelled to the Greeks and learned from each other. Greeks were the first people to realize humans can be manipulated and Arabs needed that for their citizens as they were bad people at the time (no cameras no nothing barely any police etc) and so were the other countries like the Jews and Christian’s. Basically it was like Brazil and Mexico x 9. The creation story of Adam and Eve is actually the stars creating humans and the Noah’s ark is actually the original microbe that started all life. You know how it started in water and spread throughout all continents. It had all the genetic code to create all living animals (you know how the ark had every animal on the ark that was the genetic code that carried all living things hence the pairs of animals). The reason why they say god can see everything well…. He can????? He really can but it gets complicated as it’s not god but the evolved microbe. It gets weird I didn’t come up with this the Greeks did. Anyway they used that truth or half truth to scare the common folk into doing good. Wicked stuff DONT ASK HOW I KNOW THIS.

[@hystericheretic7678]

Those Greeks were not playing around. Smart guys. You can credit everything to them and the Arabs who utilized it to make everyone good.
