Words that change how you see the world.
Every session leaves something behind — a phrase that reframes how you see the world, a question you hadn't thought to ask.
Speaker quotes will be added as sessions are transcribed. If you attended a session and remember something worth preserving, write to Ray.
Being introduced to the best humanity has to offer — in science, culture, music, and literature — gives life an existential purpose and gives us hope of a better road ahead.
We care because we are curious — and unification would confirm our fundamental beliefs that we can and will truly understand nature. It does seem intimidating that if we discover the theory of everything, we may know as much as we can possibly know about the universe.
There has been a lot of media coverage — hype? — on quantum computing in the past 10 years. This reminds me of the joke about fusion: it is 20 years away and always will be.
Billions have been spent on missions to Mars. The prospect of civilizations on Mars emerged with the observation of 'canals' seen from earth — eerily prescient when we see the photos from Perseverance. This is a truly special event.
The world is at a crossroads. In the past Science Plus has invited presentations on politics, geopolitics, social science and the environment. Responding to this current and existential crisis, we are fortunate indeed to have Andrew as our guest.
Even if the technical part of presentations was difficult, the feeling of awe listening to these folks was palpable.
Science and culture are being attacked almost daily. There is no need to say more. I leave it to you to form your opinions and take whatever action you think useful.
Speaker quotes are being transcribed — check back soon, or send Ray a line you remember.
