Offered By: Centrum Fizyki Teoretycznej PAN via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the contrasting perspectives on space and time in this lecture from the Warsaw4PhD Doctoral School's series on theoretical physics. Delve into the philosophical and scientific differences between Aristotle's views and those of Galileo and Newton. Gain insights into the historical development of our understanding of space and time, which forms a crucial foundation for modern physics concepts. Learn how these differing visions influenced the progression of scientific thought and paved the way for later breakthroughs in electrodynamics and the theory of relativity. Presented by Professor Jerzy Kijowski from the Center for Theoretical Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, this 88-minute talk offers a deep dive into the fundamental concepts that shaped our understanding of the universe.
